KUZGUN features a range exceeding 1,000 km, more than six hours of endurance, and a high-explosive payload capable of targeting critical infrastructure such as command centers, air defenses, and radar systems. It is fully autonomous, resistant to electronic warfare and GNSS jamming, and capable of low-altitude precision strikes.
Designed for flexibility, the platform can launch without a runway using mobile or fixed systems, enabling deep, cross-border operations and enhancing long-range, cost-effective strike capabilities in modern warfare.
