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.

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 or better to say distinct cases distinguishing themselves in drone warfare

-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... for every succesful hit there are multiple faluiers but it doesnt matter...they are doing the job

TB-2's success mainly originates from a distinct set of circumstances. It's in the context of peripheral wars. But the catch is, peripheral wars are what is commonplace. I'd even argue current Israel shenanigans are also largely a peripheral war. Those involve smaller nations or non-state actors in a proxy war or insurgency context. Militias, mercenaries, third-rate militaries, intelligence agencies, embedded special forces, technicals, a variety of ATGMs, cold war armor, redneck style artillery and small amounts of gimmicky high-tech gadgets characterize that particular type of conflict. In that context TB-2, as well as the current Turkish doctrine shines the most. In fact, I would argue Turkish military is the current best at that particular kind of war, (bar the political limitations). If one looks at Libya or numerous Syrian operations, militarily speaking, the proportion of cost and effort spent versus the war goals achieved is pretty striking.

I sometimes wonder what would be different if US had similar doctrine during GWoT era. They certainly had the technology to do it in 2003.

Regrding the video, I understand why people get frustrated with westerners about this kind of stuff. Their commentary always include some undertone of "Turks are subhuman apes who can't possibly produce technology". It's the quiet part, they don't say it out loud.

The language of the tweet painted Feridun Hoca as a chauvinist rather than the rational person he is. He didn’t say, “According to our findings.” Instead, he simply adjusted the radar equation using publicly available variables.

People like this on social media are damaging Turkey’s credibility and reputation.

One of the biggest component we are waiting for At least I was waiting. Incredible to see that all parts are being produced and one by one they are going to assembled.

”KAAN, KIZILELMA and ANKA-3 are getting the stealth internal EOTS technology that is only found in F-35 in the world.

Here is the TOYGUN EOTS system developed by Aselsan for our national warplanes.”

According to a report prepared by a research organization based in the United States, "Turkey became the world's largest military UAV supplier as of 2021." The Center for New American Security published a study on the global military drone market.
The study highlighted the rise of Turkey, China and Iran in the market by developing low-cost military drones.

According to the data in the report, global military UAV sales have increased rapidly in the last 10 years. While China's share in the market peaked in 2014, Turkey surpassed China in 2021.
Since 2021, Turkey has been the largest military UAV supplier in the global market... According to the report, Turkey has also realized 65 percent of the world's armed UAV sales since 2018.

Türkiye, SİHA pazarında Çin'i geçti

Ekonomi - ABD merkezli bir araştırma kuruluşunun çalışmasında, Türkiye, Çin ve İran'ın düşük maliyetli askeri İHA geliştirdiğine dikkat çekildi. Çin'in pazardaki payı 2014'te zirve yaparken 2021'de Türkiye, Çin'i geride bıraktı.

I really, really hope Baykar designs a bigger Akıncı that can fly higher and carry even bigger loads after KE's design is done, then, maybe we'll see a UAV-300 if that is done
