Voice of America generally employs country's nationals for their reporting. There are some other resources:

    - NPR: https://www.npr.org/2021/06/01/1002196245/a-u-n-report-suggests-libya-saw-the-first-battlefield-killing-by-an-autonomous-d
    - Lieber Institute: https://lieber.westpoint.edu/kargu-2-autonomous-attack-drone-legal-ethical/
    - ICRC: https://casebook.icrc.org/case-study/libya-use-lethal-autonomous-weapon-systems
    - UN report itself (Search for Kargu): https://undocs.org/Home/Mobile?FinalSymbol=S%2F2021%2F229&Language=E&DeviceType=Desktop&LangRequested=False
    - Kargu itself: https://www.stm.com.tr/en/kargu-autonomous-tactical-multi-rotor-attack-uav
From my experience, Turkish military doesn't like to talk about all the things they have.

The major drone manufacturer is Erdoğan's son-in-law. He's being groomed as one of his possible sucessors on the throne. They looove to talk about those drones.

I will check out the links. Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

The drones in question (Kargu) are not built by his company.

True. I had been reading about how other drones are in service but they never get mentioned anymore.
