Marsh Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) On You Tube there is a lengthy series of clips of Turkish airstrikes on Syrian AFVs, transporters the odd bridge etc. Mainly tanks being taken out. The video is of an exceptionally high standard. I don't recollect anything as clear as this being released by other air forces. See - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3f0N-mJsbI&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1bwjJLqL9AJOpo9dGiVbZDXK5iXeUXMSZZqoWbSKArDc8ROQzKzL7dNqQ CheersMarsh Edited February 29, 2020 by Marsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thanks Marsh, that is really excellent quality. Any thoughts on what the video platform is? I dont recongise the symbology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty_Zuk Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 At 3:20 that's brutal. Look at that guy still walking on that turret. I can't imagine anything right now other than the severe ear bleeding he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawes Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Are these strikes delivered from F-16's or possibly drones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohala Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Are these strikes delivered from F-16's or possibly drones?That's a very good question. I'm also curious about the release platforms and the missiles or bombs used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETAC21 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Tom Cooper posted that they were from drones, whatever munition they are using is rather small (you see guys walking away from explosions where frag of a gravity bomb would have gotten them). The Russians won't let the Turkish Air Force fly over Syria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KV7 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) They are firing Roketsan MAM-L and maybe MAM-Chttps://asianmilitaryreview.com/2019/03/roketsans-smart-micro-guided-munitions-boost-effectiveness-of-uavs/https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/product/mam-l-smart-micro-munition/ Edited February 29, 2020 by KV7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohala Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The Russians won't let the Turkish Air Force fly over Syria.That's the theory. But can it be that the distances are short enough that it is possible that the Turks can release missiles from within their airspace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can it be that the distances are short enough that it is possible that the Turks can release missiles from within their airspace? Yes, they certainly can, but as mentioned above, the drones are cheap (and already have claimed 450 kills) and the ammo is smaller than Mk-80 bombs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTK Ciar Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I would have guessed drone, too, judging by the occasional image filter warnings displayed and the size of the video imagery.A video sensor used strictly for targeting wouldn't need to be so wide angle nor distract the pilot with image filter warnings. Since a drone operator has to use video to pilot the drone and survey the ground, the wide angle and awareness of filter conditions are more important.Did it seem like some of the sequences had the frame or two removed just before impact, when the target was distant enough that the munition would have appeared in-frame?

Adam Peter Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 How they have counted the number of dead to 309 on enemy territory? Is this newspiece about the same strike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARGEAN Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 How they have counted the number of dead to 309 on enemy territory?Take the highest possible number. Multiply by 1.5. Voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Peter Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Index.hu's report: 26 Syrian soldier died in drone strikes launched for retaliation for 33 dead Turkish soldiers on Saturday, 18 vehicles destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I am guessing Syrian and Russian forces are developing plans for the next offensive, shooting down Turkish drones is one thing, but a manned aircraft may be to much, the question is will Turkey push manned aircraft into the spotting role to force that issue or in the hopes one gets shot down so they can attack Syrian forces again?
