What UAE can do is limited to their money checks, they are no match to have a proxy war with a regional industrial - military power. They are very well aware of this as they underestimated Turkey in Libya. They are trying to build their own weapons now to make up for it.

The LNA have claimed downing 119 TB2s in Libya!!
more than our entire inventory at that time = 110. :ROFLMAO:

If they haven't learned a lesson or two from the Karabagh war, they deserve what's coming for them.

Armenians were being lied on from their media sources all the time and they really believed they were winning. Then came the capitulation announcement and they lost their marbles!

It shows you that this type of false propaganda (fake news) can only hold for a short time, and the consequences are worse for their makers.

With all these UAV’s we are building and their effectiveness being established, we should now be looking in to :
1. Establish a separate Airforce UAV command that will serve all three forces. (Not detracting from individual forces’ UAV usage for force-specific cases)
2. Set up an educational unit dedicated to instructing and educating UAV specific pilots. (computer gamers can make better pilots)
3. If we are going to have supersonic jet UAV‘s in our fleet, then 9g limit will not be a problem. So UAV pilots need not be in best of physical condition. But be able to use the UAV in a manner most suitable for remote radio controlled combat. Hence choose pilots that have aptitudes and capabilities most suited for the job.

I like the second and third point. As for the first, I think the professionals are constantly reviewing the organisational and logistical use of the drones in the armed forces to the best effect.

Yeah, like we would supply drones to Iran backed forces or give Iran effectively access to our equipment.

I don't know how good google translation is but it seems that the Saudi's are requesting TB2 to use against the Houthis in Yemen.

If that's what that report means, it would explain the Saudi-Turkish ties mending we've been seeing.

They have Vestel Karayel UAVs , the one which are operational over Yemen must be Vestel Karayel.
If it was Vestel we should have heard about export news. If Vestel is renamed under a Saudi name then it wouldn't be called Turkish. Confusing, it can be some other maker.

İf ı am not mistaken , Vestel was forced to produce Karayel in UAE or KSA.

Secondly the biggest evidence of Karayel export is Yemen where Houtis shot down one of Karayel. So that means Karayels were exported to KSA.

By customer ( KSA). Vestel will produce in KSA .
However - made in Turkey- Karayel was shot down over Yemen.
