They don't even need to directly go in, just close enough to grad the base and render planes useless.

I'm playing this on loop since the Syrian kerfuffle restarted lmao

If Assad capitulates, he has no military power to enforce his own capitulation. Shia militia can just say "lol no" and even do a coup. Then Iranians find themselves as illegal occupiers. I don't know how much effect this legal technicality would have, but it's something to consider.

We all know what that means, right? 😏

The problem was never military strength. It's geopolitical and partly economic.

Framing the Gaza issue as a religious-civilizational war was a massive mistake. Turkish policy should have been to oppose Israel forefully but non-militarily and denounce Hamas on humanitarian grounds. I just watched a video from hellenic american leadership something or whatever those people...

They are here. Just short of 2 million people from Aleppo and surrounding areas reside in Turkey now. Which is why this is better. It opens up possibilities. Who knows, maybe we can send them back? 😳

Ooof. Wouldn't want to be in the shoes of that chap. Anyways, I think this whole operation is the natural result of Hezbollah moving units to Lebanon to counter Iran.

I'd like to remind that Americans has to go through legislative process and change the law before delivering F-35s to TAF. It is against the law for them to deliver F-35s.

We're shafted again. I'm on the verge of posting hardcore Selahattin Özdemir songs. This is to much suffering. I didn't love a prostitute to grieve tihs much, I just love my country. Let me tell you what will happen: Americans will go back on their words. Again. Because they think we are...

That's rather low performance compared to what Anadolu will require. At least that was my assumption, now I realize I might be wrong on that.

My amateur guess is it would require a seperate, highly advanced pod. I highly doubt it can be done, but hey Leonardo put AESA on a friggin TB-2 so it's possible I guess.

If a plane has an AGI (artificial general intelligence) level of automation, then obviously it's better than any human pilot, period. But we are long way from that, and anything less is unacceptable. AI as it is right now can't successfully replace a Starbucks Barrista, let alone an F-35 pilot...

People forget Elon is one of the largest contractors for DoD. He probably has ulterior motives (like poo-pooing lockheed martin or some such).

Değnekli Boomer Brigade is a threat to national security.

I'll toss a rock down the well: Is it possible/practical to equip TB-3 as a relay drone to control other assets further away? Can it be done with a pod or something?

I don't buy it. I also never wanted to be wrong this hard.

Even if we completely ignore the naval side of things, I think TB2-TB3 combination unlocks some interesting CONOPS options.

I agree it's bad, but Pompeo was secretary of state when Trump gave the order for Syria withdrawal. It's not end all be all.
