#Ukraine #Russia #Invasion
These drones are very small and silent. When you realize that there is one around you, they have already dropped their payload and are on their way back home.
Turks are developing an unmanned warplane, they will soon put the unmanned warplane on the market.A test flight is scheduled for 2023. Kizilelma (redapple)
airplanes will be the next tanks ….outdated tech…good against 3rd world armies
To shoot down a million-dollar drone using an air defense single missile whose price ranges from 11 million to 16 million make no sense,
I think that the Russian army does not care when it loses some old sovet tanks and armored vehicles.
The Russian army has more than 50,000 tanks and approximately 56,000 armored vehicles this is a surplus that you want to get rid of, Of course, they let the drone hunt some of that old equipment.
Russians accuse every time of fascism, if they like communism very much, they should return to communism again
🇷🇺✊🇷🇺✊🇷🇺✊🇷🇺❤️
They aren’t “ukrainian drones” give the Turkish their props 👏
If it was really Mr. Trump, Russia wouldn’t be able to fight this war.🇺🇸🤘🇺🇦
As a former U.S. soldier, and licensed pilot, I’d love to have had the opportunity to fly one of these.
Maybe ask your commanders/leader to lift sanctions on Turkey. Then Turkey might be more able and willing to supply Ukraine with more drones. (Giving money to Ukraine to buy Turkish drones also helps).
America…. America made Ukraine drones effective…
They fly too low… that’s why smh
They are not able to target them because within these drones they also purchased the anti-radar system. Drones are easy to spot. To be able to exploit their full potential they need to be “protected” with an anti-detection system.
uraaaaa.. indonesia love putin…
*15-20 TURKISH DRONES FOR THE PRICE OF (1) AMERICAN DRONE. WHICH WOULD YOU BUY.?* 20 DRONES CAN COVER ALOT MORE LAND THAN ONE.
🛑 making ww3 and propaganda
I watched Ukraine freedom fighter videos, not fake news PMSNBC.
Of course, there cheaper because other countries don’t have companies that rip off their government like the USA has.
Simple, they have agreement with the Russian President not to shot it down because it can turn it to Ukraine after a perfect test on the efficiency of that Drones
When “Turkish made” Ukranian drones hit Russians, it is justified within the rules of war by the whole world; however when the same drones were used by Azerbaijan against Armenia, it was called war crime. Canada provided special cameras and lenses for this drone and suspended the contract unilateraly when these drones were used by Azerbaijan. Now Canada is sending the same cameras to Ukraine to be used on the same drone. Such a crazy world.
Life isn’t black and white.
*Even drones hate Russia.*
Bro just stop trying to make us believe that ukraine is winning. They’re one city away from full collapse. If Putin wanted to he could destroy whole ukraine with 0 losses. Wake up people. Your media is a joke
Tanks are done, you can stick a fork in every one of them, all armies. For the Russians, Stalin’s organs will be replaced first by suicide robots with those 122mm rockets strapped to their backs. The Russians look as pitiful as Battlewagon Row, Pearl Harbor in this thing. Resorting to standoff artillery says it all.
What it “is” about these drones, is, they’re being employed against a completely inept military. That’s right…Russia’s Army Stinks! Russia isn’t shooting them down, because Ukraine has Stinger, and Stinger takes DOWN Russian aircraft.
They are Turkish Drones not Ukrainians! Ukrain purchased from Turkey!
The drone name birakdar Turkish made
the “Flag Bearer”
*Tanks/armored vehicles/ are no match for any kind of ‘RPV’-type drones*
*’Low and slow’ flying at ‘tree-top’ levels makes it very difficult to see or even hear one of them until it’s right on top of you, and any of them equipped w/small missiles where the vehicle can be ‘RTB’ed ‘ and refueled and re-armed is a huge tactical advantage!*
___________
( *Is it possible the Russians have forgotten ‘Hans Ulrich Rudel?’* )
___________
*This is the future of warfare in ‘real time’ here and now in Ukraine…and with Russia denied it’s tanks and heavy artillery a ‘gunfight against ground forces’ means the former ‘Red Army’ is in ‘deep sh!t!’*
People talk about the Turkish drones like there’s a rubber band inside.
Are the drones that great or is it the fact that the Russians are sitting in their vehicles in the middle of the road?
make 20000 go for it
Together we stand decided we fall
There is no one else sending drones and drone missile bombs to Ukraine from Turkey 🇹🇷. Only Turkey gives air vehicles. Turkey even sent weapons before the war started and even provides support during the war. On the one hand, he is using diplomacy by mediating and trying to end the war. If Europe and America had sent weapons before the war, Putin would not have been able to attack or the invasion would not have been easy. Turkey is doing business. Thank you Turkey, thank you Erdogan…🇹🇷👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
$30M for a freakin drone = $3M in manufacturing costs + $27M in multi-layered corruption.
You made me laugh haha. Its so true.
These drones are easy to hide. Ukrainians hid them in a residential ares
Go get those Putin Soldiers and destroy Putin’s murdering mind heart along with that evil Putin!!! May God be with you. And God will honor you for fighting the evil!!
careful what you wish for….REMEMBER the Taliban!
Days are different never in the world this happen before.may God protect and use the volunteers Army to punish Putin and his servants!!!
don’t mess with Turks
Remember to everybody these rooms carry a missile how many missiles does the reaper carry two plus two fuel tanks how many engines does the reaper have one this has 2 the reaper maybe a more expensive and upfront costs but it’s cheaper to maintain and honestly I rather have a Reaper papers are only 1 million more expensive you are America you don’t need to worry about money and now I’ve been naughty or the keyboard War yay
God Bless Ukraine !!!
I hope the Ukrainian teenagers know how play the game that help
good for you Turkey …
You can’t overstate the incompetence of the Russian Army! Instead of a great military force, they have a fabulous yacht club!!😂🤣😋 eat that Putin ha ha 👺😱😂
the question i have is. . why is the reaper 30 times more expensive ?
Don´t buy Chinese products, for you are indirectly financing the Russian war. Through Chinese help.
Good Turkish TB2 drone, thanks Turkish son-in-law to help Ukraine, hope war over.🇺🇦🇹🇷
They don’t actually fire missiles that I have seen they drop guided bombs . Which have more explosive power than the equivalent weight missile would have . I think the Turkish Government is going to get a lot more orders for their drones when you can now see the real cost effectiveness of them in actual combat .
Special metal that gives out no heat or something..lol
You forgot to mention, that in Sep-Oct,2020 Bayraktar TB2 was successively used by Azerbaijani-muslim army in Karabakh rigion of Azerbaijan against Armenian-christian terrorist backed by Russia. In this battle Bayraktar TB2 drone distroyed 6 Air Defense Missile system S300 which is made by Russia and each costs 1 billion USD. As a result of this war Azerbaijan liberated 90% of its land occupied by Armenia for over 30 years. The rest 10% has been invaded by Russian so called peace keepers. This battle showed how outdated, vulnarable and obsolete is the Russian military equipment.
See below Bayraktar TB2 in action during Azerbaijani-Armenian war in Sep-Oct 2020.

Good
My mom was in Vienna when Hitler took over Austria. She told me horrifying stories about hiding in bomb shelters, while bombs flew over her head. And after the bombs stopped. Spending days removing dead bodies, from the rubble. About being interrogated by the Nazi’s etc. My mother to was broken from Hitlers war.
Swallwell just made me realize that Dan Quail wasn’t the nerd I thought he was 😀!!
Long Live Russia!
Wag that dog ??
Propaganda
A two-bit tinpot of a third-rate petro state.
USA drones cost more because they can charge the taxpayers more..look at all the free technology Ukraine is receiving hump me dead….
Z
Russian has used propaganda for years on there military and weapons. You can’t believe anything they say or do. They have good missles. All they do with them is target civilians trying to make Ukraine surrender.
We know who makes artillery strikes on Donetsk city right now. Ukrainian nazi army will be defeated. God bless Russia!
Live by the gun die by the gun .
Turks have more advanced EW systems. That is why they keep flying.
when you reveal your secret weapon to the general public im guessing this war is a f joke, who do that, im really sad for the Ukrainian their country became practice area
Love all the real time combat footage supporting this segment’s claim.
I’m not picking sides here but just a thought
If those drones are so effective then why are you broadcasting them for Russia to see?
Now Russia also knows about them and Russia can make appropriate counter measures.
Right?
Bayraktar……🇹🇷
Fake news
Mass murdering international terrorist AmurderKKKa should provide Ukraine with Predator Drones and Kamikaze Drones. Here is the list of top 10 kamikaze drones in the world:
KARGU
KUB-BLA
MINI HARPY
WARMATE
HAROP
SWITCHBLADE [U.S.A.]
GREEN DRAGON
COYOTE
ROTEM L
SKYSTRIKER
All Trumpsexuals care about is the color of your -skin- gun. Putin was going to invade Texas but found out there are more guns in TexASS than in Ukraine.
NATO needs to airdrop supplies to cities under siege with a 100 F-15 fighter jet escort. Dare Russia to attack the cargo planes. The twin-engine F15’s maximum-speed is 1875 mph.
*This is the absolute perfect time for a nuclear-winter causing war* between the two greatest mass-murdering international terr0rists in the history of the world; AmurderKKKa and Russia.
*Part 8 of 66* Points are awarded for the destruction of targets, a hall a fame is begun, and at the end of the week free time at the controls of a Bayraktar TB2 drone in theater are awarded; to the operator with the highest confirmed k!ll totals.
*Part 7 of 66* *To pay to fly Bayraktar TB2 drones from their homes,* like playing a video game. *Which are used to blow up Russian everything:* tanks, troops, artillery, *trucks carrying food, fuel and ammunition,* _airplanes on the ground in Russia,_ and *Russian generals.*
*Part 6 of 66* Flying a Predator drone is like playing a video game from thousands of miles away by operators with monitors and joysticks; just like someone playing a video game. There are no international laws preventing hundreds of startup companies providing the opportunity for thousands of people all over world.
*Part 5 of 66* *AOC has introduced **_H.R. 999_** which makes whatever you pay to remotely operate Bayraktar TB2 drones being provided by Turkey for the defense of Ukraine; 100% tax deductible.* A Javelin missile costs $175,000.
*Part 4 of 66* Perhaps the most surprising new addition to the Ukrainian arsenal is a consignment of Bayraktar TB2 drones from Turkey. These Predator-like drones, armed with small laser-guided missiles, have proved surprisingly effective against Russian forces, defying expectations that they would be easily shot down, and destroying numerous Russian vehicles.
*Part 3 of 66* Flying three across and 20 deep squadrons of Bayraktar TB2 drones: draw fire, eliminate threats, clear and maintain a flight corridor. For larger squadrons of drones to attack Russian artillery, ammunition, helicopters, and jets on the ground in Russia.
*Part 2 of 66* An American Predator drone costs $30 million while the proven effective even against the Russian missile systems meant to take it down Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone; costs a mere $1 million each. Using the 79-centimeter Bozok (“white arrow” in Turkish) laser-guided-missile which weighs 16 kilograms and costs only $21,000. It can hit targets at a maximum distance of six kilometers. While a Hellfire missile cost $150,000 each.
*Part 1 of 66* Drones are used to sh00t down jets also. Operating a *Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone* is like playing a video game. Existing video game hardware can be used so that operators all over the world. *Can pay for time at the controls of a Bayraktar TB2 drone flying in defense of Ukraine.*
Question should be asked.. Who is flying these drones? Wkwkwk
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 asin bayraklari
I love these Turkish drones, but Ukraine doesn’t have enough of them to make a big difference in the outcome. Ukraine only has 20 to 50 of these, they need maybe 500 to 2000 to make a big difference in the war. Turkey doesn’t make them fast enough to supply that many. Also, Ukraine doesn’t have any cash to buy that many at $1.5 million each. All the US and NATO and NATO partner military aid is hardware not cash.
what clueless report , do your homework properly before reporting! Ts ts tsss….This drone is Turkish made, by baykar tech co., given to Ukraine and buy by several other armees around the world are a relatively small, build from composite materials, after sanctions from western countries ,and build 100 % in Turkey, are stealthy and shoot precise smart mini munitions, costs around 2 mill. ,and it is a lethal weapon when used properly….By the way, this is just one type of many other different, bigger turkish drones. Ukraine still gets more drones and equipment and service personelle from Turkey.
I wish all the best for our Ukraine friends, and we stay on the right side. Slava Ukraini.

Any armament that destroys Russian tanks have an impact in the battlefield.
Hello! Putin is also watching what you are saying! Now he will make new attack plans now!
If i am i tank commander . I scrambled out for my life if those drone come after me. Glory Ukaraine
Less sanctions on Turkey = More shipments. Simply.
Turkish drones have artificial AI ,8 million codes in the programing anti electronic warfare ,One flys over and due to programing it reconizes tactics and lights the target up while another one drops bombs,By the way thankyou America in screwing us in the back ,It only made us stronger !!
This whole thing should give anyone buying Russians weapons serious pause
that’s a fact US drones are not that much more high tec than the turkish wans and also no new designs coming out much also, turkey now is already creating an even more advance version which can fly of the deck of the helicopter carrier.
Drone company part owner by son-in-law of Turkish leader.
Just wow 🤦🏽. That gives turkey lots of incentive to keep this war going
R u defending Ukraine r advertising ur arms brochures. Pity on Ukraine to become ur lab for arms
blabla only this
It is easy to counter Ukraine drone. All russia ground troops should have defensive drone to survey the airspace. the drone will hunt the enemy drone with the machine gun attached to it.
What tanks are the russians using , T90 s ? I thought they had very good armour and a proven battle tank . I am pretty sure the turrets on tanks these days are very solid with thick steel , so how are these bombs/ missles killing these tanks so easy ?
I did feel sorry for the Russians soldiers until I seen them shooting innocent civilians point blank.
Less talk. Do the works
It’s a no brained to purchase the Turkish drones if they are 30 times cheaper than the American ones.
