Evidence & current status
Supplier information is attributed; performance and operational acceptance require configuration-specific evidence.
TOGAN is STM’s reconnaissance quadcopter, distinct from both its loitering-munition products and the smaller TOGAN-M. The current product table separates a standard aircraft from heavier configurations carrying additional navigation equipment. Their different durations are retained rather than replaced by a single family maximum.
STM’s July 2025 release reports delivery of KERKES-equipped aircraft to Turkish security forces. This is a specific supplier delivery statement, not a complete named-unit inventory. The product page also describes the NEST ground enclosure; its four-hundred-kilogram weight belongs to ground equipment and must not be mistaken for aircraft mass.
The navigation and resilience statements are manufacturer claims. They do not establish immunity to interference under all conditions. Similarly, the communications figures depend on antenna configuration, while LTE availability depends on a supporting network. This profile preserves the aircraft configurations and general sensing role without presenting a guaranteed operating envelope.
