i hope turkey works on micro drones that would be deadly in swarms....imagine something like that attacking infantry...it would be defenseless

Still better than Shia terrors I would say, they even killed their leader Hazrat Ali(as)

I'm here to read about drones not sectarian hate speech !

There is nothing to enjoy if you have wrong "friends".

This is a thread about UAV's not HTS! Also, the HTS is not a Turkey supported rebel group. If you look at the rebels held areas under Turkish control, there is secular civil law. Actually, the power of HTS is declining, as Turkey backed groups are dominant again in Idlib. It's a matter of time before HTS gets dissolved.

Turkish drones revolutionize Idlib conflict – analysis
Turkey has systematically taken over other areas in northern Syria, primarily Kurdish areas, where it has used Syrian rebels to fight the Kurdish YPG.

Footage of numerous Turkish drone strikes in Idlib reveal the degree to which Turkey has created a groundbreaking armed force of drones over the last several years. Turkey has now used them effectively against Syrian regime defenses and armored vehicle formations in its battle with the Syrian regime since the regime began shelling and killing Turkish soldiers in February.

Tensions in Idlib rose in January and February due to a Russian-backed Syrian regime offensive. Idlib is controlled by Syrian opposition groups, dominated by extremists around the group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Turkey has had observation posts in Idlib since 2017 and in 2018 signed a deal with Russia for a ceasefire in the province. It wants to make sure that millions of Syrian refugees from Idlib don’t come to Turkey and it wants to prevent a new conflict on its border.

The Syrian regime launched an offensive to retake a strategic highway to Aleppo. It was successful and 900,000 people fled the fighting. Then Turkey deployed thousands of soldiers and armored vehicles to Idlib to prevent the regime from continuing its advance. In response the regime shelled Turkish positions and has now killed dozens of Turkish soldiers. Turkey has responded aggressively with artillery fire.

Turkey can’t fly its air force in Idlib due to an apparent ban by Russia and the Syrian regime. But Turkish drones can fly.In Idlib the Turkish armed and surveillance drones have come into their own. According to accounts Turkey has devastated some Syrian regime units, damaging or destroying up to 100 tanks, 72 artillery pieces and several air defense systems. In the fog of the Syrian war, which has dragged on nine years, it is never clear if the various accounts are accurate, but videos from drone feeds don’t lie.

According to reports the Bayraktar TB2 for instance uses a 22.5 kg Rokestan warhead. The Anka drone also uses a MAM-L smart munition that is developed by Rokestan. Much of the details behind the strikes are not revealed to media and Turkey’s media has speculated on which drones have been used. In some instances the Bayraktar has been shot down in Libya, but less frequently in Syria. Overall the Syrian air defenses have not proved capable of dealing with the drone threat and Russian-made air defenses, such as the Pantsir, can’t be everywhere on the front line.

Turkey has shown that the drone can be used in an area where air defenses may deny the ability to fly larger jets, such as Turkey’s F-16s, but where smaller drones can operate with impunity. It has shown they can be effective tactically and score many successes, transforming the battlefield. Turkey’s widespread use of drones in Idlib, if the accounts are accurate, may be one of the largest concentrations of drones used in this manner before.

The US and Israel have used drones in widespread operations, but Turkey’s employment of them in Idlib may be unique and may herald a new kind of operational ability of drones to be studied by militaries in years to come. Clearly, the Russians and Syrian regime are taking note, as is Iran which runs its own drone program. Iran has exported drones to the Houthis in Yemen who have used them against Saudi Arabia.

I know about neuron great drone program but it’s under development and most likely won’t be ready in the near future
There are literally ANKA-B/S/I for different purposes plus bayraktar TB2 tactical uav
Show me the french equivalent which is operational right now but you can’t since there’s no currently french-made UAV/UCAV

You know nothing . You have just assumed above mentioned stealth drone is made in US. Stop fucking around.

And respect your country !! "T" is big!!!

I don’t know what you have against me If you want peaceful discussion ok otherwise please refrain from commenting on my posts i will make the same effort not to comment on your post
do we have a deal??

nEUROn is a experimental UAV, it had it's first flight 2012 but who knows if they want to build them in the near future. Maybe they will cancel it and focus on a own Loyal Wingman.
