The GIDS Sarkash (Urdu: سرکش, lit. 'Rebellious', also known as Sarfarosh or Sarfirosh)[1] is a long-range One-way attack drone (UAV) and loitering munition drone developed by Pakistani defense conglomerate GlDS.[2][3][4] It was first revealed as the Sarkash-I at the IDEAS 2024 defence exhibition and described as a "kamikaze drone" by GIDS.[2][5][6] It is primarily designed with the goal of being used against high-value targets, such as radars and buildings.[1][2]
Design and specifications
The Sarkash-I's design attributes mirror those of a cruise missile; this is most evident in the design of the fuselage, which uses a cylindrical Babur or Harbah-style design. Additionally, the Sarkash-I is foldable, allowing the missile to be carried in and deployed from a canister. While the canisters are not man-deployable, the lightweight Sarkash-I can be loaded on various light vehicles.
The Sarkash-I has the following specifications:[1][2][3]
- Range: 700–1,000 km
- Weight: 175 kg
- Warhead Weight: 25–50 kg
- Warhead Type: Blast-fragmentation, etc.
- Endurance: ≥120 minutes
- Powerplant: Undisclosed turbojet
