Seems like TURAF's very own IFF and Software Systems are working well, FoxNews

I came across this article when looking for foreign reactions for ongoing aerial campaign. From what that America official was saying, I think Özgür is working well.

“We had U.S. Special Forces not far from where the Turks were bombing, training Kurdish Peshmerga fighters," the source said. "We had no idea who the Turkish fighters were, their call signs, what frequencies they were using, their altitude or what they were squawking [to identify the jets on radar].”

WASHINGTON – Just hours after a deal last month allowing the U.S. to use Turkey’s air bases to launch sorties against ISIS, Turkey pulled a move that left American military leaders surprised and outraged, and raised questions about the two nations' alliance in the war on the jihadist army.

With only 10 minutes notice to their American partners, Turkey launched a massive air strike of its own July 24 against a Kurdish militant group in the northern mountains of Iraq. The U.S. had barely enough warning to make sure its own forces were out of the way, according to a military source with knowledge of the tension Turkey's attack caused in the Combined Air and Space Operations Center, the allied headquarters in the air war against ISIS.



"A Turkish officer came into the CAOC, and announced that the strike would begin in 10 minutes and he needed all allied jets flying above Iraq to move south of Mosul immediately,” said the military source, describing events that took place in the center, in a secret location in the Middle East. "We were outraged."

"We could not risk having U.S. forces hit by Turkish bombs.”

In addition to targeting forces engaged in the fight against ISIS, U.S. officials believed the Turkish military's sudden move raised the risk of friendly-fire casualties.

“We had U.S. Special Forces not far from where the Turks were bombing, training Kurdish Peshmerga fighters," the source said. "We had no idea who the Turkish fighters were, their call signs, what frequencies they were using, their altitude or what they were squawking [to identify the jets on radar].”

Thats good news. Especially that its not possible to intercept com frequencies. Earlier PKK could estimate fighters route and approach with equipment from Switzerland.

That's interesting, thanks for posting!

This is quite interesting indeed. I knew we already developed our own IFF and Software systems around it but never thought it was matured enough to be deployed in real life situations. Awesome!

Turks were bombing kurdish peshmerga? Are we talking about Barzani's peshmerga?

Turks were bombing kurdish peshmerga? Are we talking about Barzani's peshmerga?

It says not far from the place where they were training Peshmerga.

 

[Bismarck]

It says not far from the place where they were training Peshmerga.

For a moment I were a little bit confused.

 

[Hurshid Celebi]

TuAF warned our US allies before air strike , who are Training Peschmergas.

US were suprised cause their intelligence could not see or identify attacking Turkish Jets, as well as PKK couldn't.

That's the short message in the article

Independent nations need independent communications. America and other leading nations have them, so should Turkey.

 

[Hurshid Celebi]

@Osmanovic We try doing our best brother. Do you remember shotdown of our F-104 G Starfighter in North Iraq;
our Pilot was never found. We learned and going on learning by doing. I hope BOSNIAN brothers and sisters will learn how to protect themselves in future. I hope you can hold your only one "encapsuled" free Adria corridor

''Last week an article titled “Turkey F-16s can now hit Israel targets” made the news and spread quite quickly on the Internet.

According to the article, Turkey has developed a new IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system for its F-16s that will allow them for the first time to fire at Israeli targets. Developed by Turkey’s Military Electronics Industry (ASELSAN) the new IFF will be mounted on all Turkish fighters (as well as military vessels and submarines) to replace the previous US version which “identified all Israeli targets as a “friend”, thus preventing the Turkish fighter jets from firing at them automatically, even if the Turkish pilots were ordered to fire at them.”.''

Israel is no TARGET, as we are no Military TARGET for them.

 

[Timur]

Israel is no TARGET, as we are no Military TARGET for them.

maybe just an excample of freedom.. the good question is did U.S. install this kind of identification for turkish jets for israel?

we have it but did they do it to them too? my opionion is only we get such a "not trustworthy" treatment

no Military TARGET for them.

because of a whim we are not a target..

“We had U.S. Special Forces not far from where the Turks were bombing, training Kurdish Peshmerga fighters,"

not far from the targets.. and "peshmerga" training.. maybe they did not really say the truth? could it be pkkmerga?

 

[Hurshid Celebi]

Possible. Why they should train Peschmerga in terror zone of PKK. WELL done Türkiye. Maybe US BLACKOPs
