Turgis & Gaillard to present a prototype of the largest strike and reconnaissance drone in French history
Turgis & Gaillard is preparing to showcase a new unmanned aerial vehicle. The model is called Aarok.
Aarok will be the largest drone ever built in France. The wingspan will be 22 meters. The prototype will make its debut at the Paris Air Show, which will take place from June 19 to 25, 2023.
Turgis & Gaillard has been working on the development of an unmanned aerial vehicle since 2020. Aarok will be used for reconnaissance, surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as for communications relay and strikes.
The drone will weigh 2.5 tons. It will be able to carry 3 tons of payload, which will be divided between fuel, weapons and optoelectronic sensors. In the latter case, we are probably talking about Wescam MX25 or Euroflir 610.
