I have always wondered where they put the other cameras on. Putting one on top of the fin of the tail didnt come to my mind.

One interesting thing is though seeing these two operators screens, it seems the places of camere screens change depending on the preference of the operator.

Also I wonder how much delay there is when they give a command.

Aren’t we publishing just too much information with all these photos? Why are we showing so much information to foreign nations? I feel like we’ve already given away all the secrets of Akıncı, before we could even get a chance to fly it on a regular basis. Each day, we see yet another part of it exposed. I wouldn’t be surprised that foreign defence experts have already analyzed all the components inside and outside, created a 3D model of Akıncı and discovered its radar signature. I feel like this is the case with all of our equipment. A 9 years old could find the schematics for our military equipment in a matter of minutes. I’m seriously concerned about this issue.

The almost all published information comes from which is already present on the internet. But a few shares somethings through their personal contacts which can be problematic. The forumers here are very sensitive and reactive about this.

The U.S. Army Goes to School on Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict​

Off-the-shelf air power changes the battlefield of the future.​

BY JACK DETSCH | MARCH 30, 2021

A Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drone flies at Gecitkale military airbase near Famagusta in the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on December 16, 2019.

When Azerbaijan took over the skies in its fight with Armenia over the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh last fall, winning the air war with commercial Turkish and kamikaze drones, one thing started to become clear to U.S. Army strategists: It’s becoming easier to hunt and kill troops than ever before—and to do so on the cheap.....

I guess it depends on what kind of enemy the US is fighting right? I dont think the US will ever get into a full blown war with a weak country ever again that would require these.

Versus a country like Iraq sure these would be great but versus a country like China I think not.

Also a term like “on the cheap” just doesn’t exist in the US Armed Forces... Even if their strategists and planners copy the TB-2 warfare tactics I am sure that they will manage to pull it off with some astronomical prices like any other military program or conflict that they have started recently.

Thats the benefit of having such a big military budget i suppose?

The “benefit” you talk about is only for the lobbyists, for the Military - Industrial complex and all the leeches connected to it... for sure not for the Armed Forces or the American taxpayer.

Yes It’s great to have a well equipped Military and a big budget but the way American politicians and the Pentagon spend their money is outrageous. Americans just don’t know how to use their resources wisely which will fuck them up one day.

This is a must for all UAV’s like TB2 and Anka that operate near battlefield areas and our attack helicopters. With it’s ~30km range (30cm resolution from 27 km away) and capability to differentiate between military and non military thanks to the software developed, it is a great FLIR. It is a Synthetic Aperture Radar that detects and tracks potential targets either low speed small size or fast moving objects even in adverse weather and low visibility conditions including cloud and fog
