S-70 does have RTB functions.

There could be many failure points in an aircraft.

It could very well be the engine, or the central computer etc

Only supports my point to be honest. Something failed, either due to enemy interference or due to a fault in the system which left the aircraft unresponsive and led to it going headfirst into Ukrainian airspace. And there will always be such risks with unmanned aircraft.

if you do it simply returns to base.

And why Russia was not able to do so.

Turkish UAVs haven't faced western EW technology

We were and are doing operations in Syria under American EW but I do no know to what extend.

 

[Oublious]

Currently we don't expand tactical use of UAV. I mean, our army seems to know their limits however Turkish UAVs haven't faced western EW technology , so far Turkish UAVs have coped with primitive EW of Soviet technology. Americans aren't stupid and they must have researched it.

I think the solution of the connection problem is AI pilots. Remote controlled drones are doomed to be jammed so AI assisted fully autonomous drones could survive.
Revolution of AI pilots needs long time therefore nowadays we need variety of manned aircrafts.

Not correct, Syria is under American and Russian EW.

 

[Huelague]

Not correct, Syria is under American and Russian EW.

We are also using EW if necessary and possible.

 

[Oublious]

We are also using EW if necessary and possible.

Exactly, who do you think Americans are protecting in North Syria? With out EW and ECM impossible to operate.

 

[UkroTurk]

I doubt if Americans attacked electronically or tried to jam Turkish UAVs in Syria.

 

[Radonsider]

I doubt if Americans attacked electronically or tried to jam Turkish UAVs in Syria.

Why? They even shot down one of our UAVs

 

[Nutuk]

Beyond doubt they've shot down one of our drones, Anka I believe

 

[UkroTurk]

Ok. İ forgot it. But f-16 shot down. it wasn't EW.
