Your lack of knowledge leads to deep misunderstandings, but well I have time today: That's how it is approached. Where there more drone kills than shown? Maybe, maybe you have psychic abilities and know or you are a MIT agent with direct access to information. Turkey showed their trophy kills...

Almost all losses were recorded and proudly shown. As said, its magnitude is at operation level of a single front line sector. That's a benefit of such drone operation, you record almost every action you do automatically. As far as I remember losses of armored vehicles of all kinds were around...

SAA suffered losses of operation level of a single frontline sector, not the significant backbone breaking losses Turkey claims. It was a great exploit as they could not reach out to beyond 5km altitude, even if confronted with non-LO, slow (~200km/h) drones using subsonic glide bombs. Well used...

I guess U.S operation covfefe/covid-19 against China and Iran was successfully counter applied to the western word via IR's "convert threats to opportunity" ideology Great operation, well done China and Iran

Of course and Turkey deserves military credit for exploiting Syrian weakness via its conventional drone force. However Turkey also knows the limits of this cost effective strategy: Once systems like the S-300, -400 or also Buk-M2 enter the theatre, the operation is over. It's like a infantry...

I make it easy for you: Turkish military were at a vast advantage with their drone warfare but for no reason Erdogan agreed to a ceasefire in favor of its opponents. Common sense. Case closed.

That, delivered by a dashing F-16 would make more sense. But again it more or less requires a strong degradation of the Buk-M2 radar by airborne ECM. It would also need to be a saturation attack because Buk-M2 can shoot down such low terminal speed glide bombs. Killing a S-125 at front line...

Lets assume Turkish military know everything about the Buk-M2 and have trained against modellings of it. How does the kill-chain looks like? It is impossible to do it with those MALE drones, they are neither stealth/LO nor equipped with stand-off weapons. Koral system is not effective against...

It was a good capability display on what is possible against a 3rd grade military without anything beyond AAA, MANPADs and SHORAD. Once Syria moved in serious systems from the Israeli front --> Turkish ceasefire. This capability has its place and can be used to exploit weaknesses of the...

How you want to technically achieve that? You have non-LO MALE UAVs there with a RCS not below 0,1m². Why would the Buk-M2 not be able to kill it? ECM? Or because Syria has so few of them to cover both Israeli and Idbil front and is forced to use it without Pantsir protection? SOM? HARM?

Good long range optics on Turkish assets there. + Only Russia operates Tor-M1/2 in Syria + These SHORAD systems are not ideal choices to shot down 30k-40k feet capable MALE drones + That's a original 60's vintage S-125 there Buk-M2 is the ideal system in Syrian service to counter MALE drones...

You can deduce it from the chart SubWater posted and the outside dimensions of the centrifuges. Here again the Centrifuges Iran is officially working on at the moment: IR-1 IR-2m IR-3 IR-4 IR-5 IR-6 IR-6m IR-6s IR-6sm IR-7 IR-8 IR-8s IR-8B IR-s IR-9

This was recommended to my by Youtube, don't follow the guy but just imagine what Trump said here was done by the Iranian Leader or so:

Basically serious systems in Iran are those which are nearly completely built in Iran. Key hurdle is always propulsion. We have 30% scaled variants of the RQ-170, one built around the TJ-100 copy, Shahed-191 and one around the twin wankel prop engine which is the Saeghe-2. The TJ-100 copy is...

Erdogans drone operation made one thing clear: You better have systems in the class of the 3rd Khordad around to avoid an enemy exploiting lacking mid to high altitude spectrum. 3rd Khordad is a medium range system but against such slow targets as Anka/S-129 up to MQ-9 it can exploit the max...

Erdogans drone adventure is over. A good display of what drones in the class of Anka or S-129 are capable of and what not. They work well when there is no air defense present. Since Syrian air defense was positioned against Israel it was a good playground for drones of that class. They...

Centrifuges Iranian scientists and engineers are doing R&D on (yes even the IR-1). IR-1 IR-2m IR-3 IR-4 IR-5 IR-6 IR-6m IR-6s IR-6sm IR-7 IR-8 IR-8s IR-8B IR-s IR-9

Here is my simpler scaling analysis from last summer: I also came to a similar number: 1200km for a 200kg warhead. His analysis is much more detailed than my early scale analysis. His analysis could also be applied to see how the mysterious 358 missile performs, albeit we lack a useful drag...

I would expect this as the lowest case scenario: This UAV shown recently with two Toloue-10, PBS TJ-100 in their turboprop variants. That would be 500HP turboprop power, still lower than the 900HP or so of the MQ-9 but close. However: Because this is a IRGC-ASF project, it won't be this...

A very good analysis. People who want to understand CMs and engines as well as analysis methods should carefully read it.
