Bad title, pretty okay video.

Yeah I just saw the clickbait, watched the video later.
Must agree that downfall was a very ‘dramatic’ choice of a title but he didn’t attribute the so called Bayraktar hype as a propaganda outlet of Turkish defense industry but rather a natural outcome as an adequate and competent force multiplier at certain conditions at various battles.

I like this guy’s videos ever since he debunked (to a very good and credible degree) the Me109’s fatal design flow of its landing gears.

Comment on the video early, polite and substantive.
I'm not sure if we're capable of that. Just clicked the link and saw many angry, obnoxious comments from Turks. There must be an army of teenage Turks that are seeking validation from foreigners and any non-positive remark is countered with fierce attacks from them. it must be exhausting to leave any comment about a Turkish thing because of the ensuing shit show.

Yeah I just saw a video about Saudi Arabia's 2030 plan and the guy was talking about how the Saudis aren't on track for any of the goals, etc. and the comments were all Saudis just hurling insults at the guy, not one of them countering the arguments or the data. You can learn a lot about a country's human capital and educational standards from social media comments alone.

Oh bro, don’t get me started.
A new social media outlet should be invented just to calm them down and teach them to comprehend a body of text they read and how to listen an argument and capture the point of it.

Ukraine wasn't even the are that TB-2 operated most. Ask Africans about the supposed "downfall of Bayraktar".
African states are also learning that it's not TB2 that's special, but the doctrine it's used as a part of, with highly advanced C2I components and the highly trained light infantry units, supported by artillery, helicopters and most importantly political capital. Just striking targets with TB2s don't achieve much. Gendarme for example, uses them as recon and strike assets, always supported by air insertion with helicopters to eliminate the threats.

Chris has a point in the video, although it's a clickbait bullshit. There's nothing special with TB2 alone, except for its very low cost compared to contemporaries thanks to COTS parts which makes it attritable when needed. It's how you use it that matters.

concerns the gentleman stated in the video are legit...yet I am glad that we can see that we are learning some lessons from setbacks we have encounterd , for instance ASELSANS EW pods is a good example for the fact that we are at least learning from setbacks and responding to them.

roughly speaking so far there are 4 distinct periods

-Cold war early drons mainly in resonance roles

-Predator and Reaper in US war against terrorism

-MALE and Sucide drones in Nagorno - Karabah

-cheap mass produced drones of Russian - Uranian war
