And yet you can't show a single one of them, even though Russia is known to boast about such achievements

Russia doesn't need to show anything, Armenia (using Russian weapons) downed many Israeli made drones. Including the Harpi (EW drone).



Still in denial that Israeli drones are invisible and Russian equipment is a hoax?

Not in our hands that's for sure.

What is not in your hands? Israel lost hundreds of aircraft to Soviet SAMs. Sometimes it's best you stop pounding your little chest.

Yeah right it was Russian. The drone that entered the Israeli airspace didn't pose any threat so the failure of its interception isn't worth much.
However, since we probably dropped over 100 tons worth of bombs on Syrian and other troops without even a little response from Russia, you have no right to speak.

Israel fired on that Russian drone 3 different times, they even admitted to it, so everything you say is BS. Israeli was angry with Russia and did everything to down that drone.

And when did that happen, 1967?

2015 Egyptian war planes violated Israeli airspace.

Russia gives Turkey ‘green light’ to use Syrian airspace: Turkish media

BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:10 P.M.) – The Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Daily alleges that Russia has given the Turkish Air Force the green light to use Syrian airspace over the Afrin Canton.

If true, then Turkey will have full access of Syrian airspace to bombard several other areas in northern Syria, including Menbeij and Jarabulus.

The Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister, Dr. Faisal Al-Miqdad, warned Turkey that the Syrian Air Defense is back at full strength and will respond to any Turkish warplane that illegally crosses into Syria’s airspace.

However, Turkey has already launched several airstrikes over Afrin, with no response from Damascus.

Somehow Pakistan cannot do that in Afghanistan because apparently there are too many to tell us how impossible that is and how US will react yada yada.
I might add this is a lesson we need to learn from our turkish brothers. @HAKIKAT

Do you really expect any different when our own Army chief says Afghans are as dear to him as Pakistanis? Let that sink in. So Pakistanis who pay taxes to pay his salary and who die under his command as common soldiers and officers are the same as ungrateful, spiteful Afghan who hates Pakistanis and doesn't even accept Pakistan as a state.

The rot is deep within us.

Also, sorry for derailing thread folks. Just a passing comment.

Russia also gave Turkey green light to shoot down that Su-24

Yeah, fake news, Syria claimed it shot down many Israeli aircraft, even the F-35.

Russia doesn't need to show anything, Armenia (using Russian weapons) downed many Israeli made drones. Including the Harpi (EW drone).



Still in denial that Israeli drones are invisible and Russian equipment is a hoax?

What is not in your hands? Israel lost hundreds of aircraft to Soviet SAMs. Sometimes it's best you stop pounding your little chest.

The Harpy isn't an electronic warfare drone, it is loitering munition, and costs next to nothing. I never said Russia doesn't have cannons that can shoot down planes, I said Russia's SAMs are useless against modern aircraft. The Azerbaijani don't have electronic warfare, that drone's job is to hit or be hit, and looking at this photo, this drone was probably hit by a cannon.

The last drone seems to be fully intact, doesn't seem like it was downed. Its landing parachute is open.

Israel fired on that Russian drone 3 different times, they even admitted to it, so everything you say is BS. Israeli was angry with Russia and did everything to down that drone.

Russia claimed it was their drone 3 weeks after the incident, seems suspicious. Also, that drone posed no threat against Israel. On the other hand, Israel is bombing your allies every few weeks or so

2015 Egyptian war planes violated Israeli airspace.

Those planes "violated" our airspace and were with their back towards Israel when they did it, it was clearly unintentional. However, dropping over 100 tons of bombs in the last year is intentional, and you can't do anything about it

Possibly. I read somewhere on Twitter that it’s an old video, nothing saying wether is Turkish or not though.

PKK/YPG are sharing lots of propaganda videos. Give them a taste of their own medicine
