Because war equipment aren't designed to work in silos with idiots manning them. These systems (actually all systems) are designed to work together and interconnected. If you have a a2d system doing it's own thing while flying drones doing their own thing and literal idiots acting as spotters...

English subtitles included in the video, this is the story of Turkeys new drone Interestingly they refer to her as capable of "air to air" missions too, so maybe with some smaller missiles a probable drone hunter config might be in the works?

What a load of BS. You're mixing ideology with soft power, refrain from writing half a novel when you don't even understand the basic meaning of words and the end and flows of how the world runs. Power is power, it is absolute and meaningful by its own. But because of its destructive nature you...

To be honest Pakistan doesn't have much influence nor diplomatic power over Turkey. But they do have incredibly strong good will built up through the nation and we aren't going to forget what they've done for us. India could be a good location to sell weapons to, but considering they would be...

I agree and that was sort of the point I was making. The US example you gave actually illustrates the point greatly. If the US is more powerful then Russia then that means they should be able to defeat Russia everywhere. If for example Russia has the upper hand in scenario A (like motherland...

Where? These are meaningless without a frame of reference. Turkey is incredibly strong in defending Turkey, ok. But attacking Syria? Iraq? Israel? Egypt? Or even defending a base far away from the homeland? This is essentially true for everyone. And you can't really measure this properly...

UAE, Greece, Egypt and France directly. Russia, Syria, and KSA indirectly. And in the Turkish corner we have... No one. Would be allies of Turkey actually had the nerve to say "well Turkey is having massive success, that won't do - call for ceasefire immediately". I dream that one day a...

Thats some title you've got going on there.

And leave them exposed and vulnerable? I don't think so, this would be a desperate move that would only endanger Turkish pilots and assets. Unless we move in SAM batteries and layer them around the airbase and add enough fighters to do regular patrols it wouldn't be a good idea to do this imo...

So considering we don't have any AA ships and our airforce doesn't have a base in Libya, how exactly are we planning to counter these planes? Moving SAM systems to Libya might work but for the moment they'd be in the same position as the Pantsirs were, in the open and available for sead...

Russia being directly involved might actually work in Turkeys favour about the embargo on weapons.

Are these new hits or are they just footage of some of the bombings that took place earlier today?

I suggest you read the part you've quoted again. Unlike regular people like you and me countries dont hold grudges or become pals or enemies. They act accordingly to their interests and mask that behavior as hate or love to sell it to the public. That's why in Syria and Libya Turkey and Russia...

Not so imo. This isn't like Syria where both sides are clearly cut. This war is about who gets to rule Libya and the population is impartial to both. Neither side actually has any negative nor positive ideas about the general public. So it makes no sense for refugees to flee to Egypt just...

I'm not sure if this is better at all. Not being able to properly man a SAM system (not even counting the Idiocracy of not placing them properly on the battlefield) is kind of better then using mercs to fail at the same job. I mean, it's getting more absurd by the minute. I suppose when you're...

You don't see opinion pieces being wrong a lot these days, because technically an opinion is just that, it can't be right or wrong. Yet the writer has managed to overcome this obstacle and blurt out such a piece of shit that it indeed is factually wrong, thus rendering his opinions baseless and...

Yep, at this point it doesn't matter if these hits were a fluke or they were offline or it was because hafter and his men are idiots (most likely) - the world now thinks Pantsirs are a pushover. Huge marketing loss for the Russians, who are ironically known as the best SAM suppliers. Well maybe...

I don't agree with the mission obviously and think it's unfair etc etc, but that is one mean looking ship. She's beautiful.

Countries that have bad relations can still do business. Sometimes at the same time too, as evident between Russia and Turkey (s400 deliveries in the midst of operations that Russia was not fond of). But currently our platforms are Anka and TB2 which are smaller and more lightweight then what's...

While we've not been tested by the UAE nor Egyptian army yet, i can safely say that the Syrian "army" wasn't faring any better then Haftar here - on the contrary he was even worse. We lost the highway because we pulled back, because Russia basically said "i'll actually engage you, so pull back"...
