Soon, wars may be fought with autonomous drones rather than soldiers, as it’s reported that a KARGU-2 autonomous tactical drone attacked humans in Libya without any intervention. More specifically, this quadcopter autonomously attacked a human during a fight between Libyan government forces and a military faction led by the Libyan National Army’s Khalifa Haftar.
The KARGU-2 is basically a rotary wing attack drone loitering munition system made by Turkey-based company STM. It’s designed for asymmetric warfare as well as anti-terrorist operations and can be operated manually or autonomously. This drone can be used against static or moving targets thanks to its indigenous, real-time processing abilities and its machine learning algorithms.

Logistics convoys and retreating HAF were subsequently hunted down and remotely engaged by the unmanned combat aerial vehicles or the lethal autonomous weapons systems such as the STM Kargu-2 and other loitering munitions. The lethal autonomous weapons systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true ‘fire, forget and find’ capability,” according to the report.
