Evidence & current status

Current source identifies 100 and 500. Other numbers appearing in secondary family descriptions are not assumed to be equivalent variants.

GIDS now presents Yalghar as a family with two named baseline configurations. Yalghar 100 is electrically powered and uses a cruciform wing-and-tail arrangement. The larger Yalghar 500 uses gasoline propulsion. Both are described as canister-launched systems with observation sensors and a control link.

The manufacturer's present table supplies distinct mass, endurance and range figures for each version. Those values should stay attached to the relevant model; the family name is not evidence that the two aircraft have identical propulsion or performance. Published range is also not automatically the radius of a particular mission or the distance over which every sensor function is available.

The product page establishes an offering, but does not identify a recipient, an acceptance date or an independently documented deployed fleet. Claims about autonomy remain supplier descriptions. This entry therefore records Yalghar's public design distinctions while leaving service history and validated production configurations open.
