hmmm depends some pantsir systems hit, rest are outdated systems plenty of TB2s destroyed. Russians are no strangers to sophisticated drone projects or having better versions of pantsirs being used. I heard that some Russian poster made another turkish user sort of become quite after posting this image.

They tried to drag NATO into this but that did not work out. I thought Erdogan was the most popular turkish populist in terms of turkish nationalistm, your telling me that Turkey as more pro-Turk politicians that want to restore the ottoman empire than Erdogan?
Erdogan is not a Turkish nationalist he is an Islamist populist. In his own words, he said "all nationalist movements are under my feet". He ceased this rhetoric after he is allied with the Nationalist Movement Party(conservative nationalists). In the Turkish political spectrum, there are;
1) Islamists (AKP). They are against any sort of nationalism as Islam forbids any sort of nationalism. They don't have any national identity. Those people hate Ataturk and the secular state. They have decades-long of hatred against those two. A small percentage of those people are calling for a return of Sharia Law at all costs. Their spectrum is wide from moderate/liberal Islamists to Islamic brotherhood (Ikhwan) supporters to outright Taliban supporters. They are an alliance of Islamic jamaats, sects, and religious orders. Erdogan is the strong man who keeps those in line and prevents them from fighting each other. Gulen movement(FETO/PDY-Fethullah Terrorist Organization/Parallel State Structure) tried to shape the AKP according to its desire after the big alliance between Erdoğan and Gulen shattered. Various video and audio recordings were released to weaken the AKP led government. Gulen overplayed his hand and tried to execute a coup against Erdogan hoping that Kemalists will also support and tag along with the Gulen movement but whatever Kemalists left after the Gulen Movement and AKP purges did the opposite and supported Erdoğan.
2) Conservative nationalists (MHP). They are Muslim people who respect Atatürk and have no quarrel with the modern secular state. They have a sense of national/patriotic identity. They are proud to call themselves a Turk.). In the past Gulen movement according to their desire to shape Turkish politics cleared most of the names who can oppose Devlet Bahçeli with sex videos. After 2012 Bahçeli took a hard stance against the Gulen movement.
3) Secular nationalists. They are secular people who respect Ataturk and are proud of being a Turk. Real Kemalists. They are scattered between various political parties some of them lost interest in politics. They are now political nomads some of them seek refuge in the İYİ Party. IYI Party is a collection of conservative nationalists, ex AKP voter central right Turk voters, and some secular nationalists.
4) Socialists/leftists (CHP). They pretend like they like Ataturk but in fact, they want to create a new SJW Ataturk. They are trying to distort his views to suit their agenda. Most Alawite Turks and leftist Turks vote for CHP but some of the secular nationalists also vote for CHP out of respect because CHP is founded by Ataturk. SJW-leaning people won the power struggle inside the party against secular nationalists with the help of the Gulen movement and its underhanded tactics (aka sex videos). After that Kemalists are replaced with SJW people. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is one of the most unsuccessful politicians in the recent Turkish political life losing 10 consecutive elections against AKP led by Erdogan. CHP is the biggest opposition party. CHP made a comeback with the last local elections after Ekrem İmamoğlu (populist like Erdogan) wins İstanbul, Mansur Yavaş (conservative nationalist) wins Ankara.
5) Racists (HDP). They are socialists/leftists with racist views they consist of mostly Kurds. They plant bombs, kill underage girls with a Molotov cocktail inside buses. Assassinate teachers, workers, engineers. Somehow they are still allowed inside the Turkish political ecosystem because of the power struggle of various interest groups. They use one group against another to survive. They are the political party of the PKK/YPG/PYD/KCK/HPG etc.
6)Conservative or moderate Islamic Liberals. The newly founded Deva Party led by Ali Babacan who resigned from AKP is trying to get the votes of this political spectrum. He promises to return to the first days of AKP.
