  1.  @JohnAdams-qc2ju  The Bulk of the cost is the software. On a drone nothing is more important than the software which runs it, it's also the software which separates how effective these things are on the battlefield.

  2. @Iansfriszt7767 After seeing how Ukraine played out and the massive amounts of munitions shortages, it would make sense for nations to start spamming these types of low cost/fast production products. It especially makes sense for a nation with a huge population pool that simply can't train all those soldiers for high tech jobs like fighter jets or tanks. You throw them into these things and say "go get em tiger."

  3.  @one5e  If you waste a stringer to blow one of these things up. It's a win for them. The cost of the stinger vs the cost of this thing simply doesn't add up.

  4. Was the older gun not able to kill women and children fast enough so they had to upgrade?

  5.  @PERSIAN_GULF-f7o  What is Iranic anyway? Besides for the vast majority of the last 800 years wasn't Iran actually ruled by and presided over by Turkic governments and tribes?

  6.  @OllieS-kx6lo  Smarter and better leaders do need to join. The problem is they aren't. And the ones that do aren't moving up to the top. People aren't stupid, they see this. I'm not saying how things should be, I'm merely articulating how they are. Why do you think enrollment in the military is so bad right now that they're forced to lower their standards on who can join. Even with those low standards people aren't joining. A growing number of young people simply do not trust the once "most trusted institution" in our country. The Iraq war did a lot of damage to the trust people had in leadership. Not to mention the top military brass pushing the woke agenda lately.

  7.  @EatMyShortsAU  I've seen footage of that. The Azeris turning some old 1960s airplane into a remote controlled one and sending it over Armenian positions to get shot down, exposing their AA systems. Genius sh!t lol

  8.  @HyperHoneyBadger2025  You might have felt different if you found yourself wounded in Iraq or put in a situation where you're blowing up old women and little kids all for some shady political objective which probably involves some corporations making bank.

  9.  @jerrymylove1754  I'm sorry for your experience and believe you were as much a victim in this as anyone else. But you did say one thing which really struck me as odd. "What I did for these people." The reality is you did nothing for these people. What you did was to help a few psychos in Washington get what they wanted and made some corporations A LOT of money. I'm in the age group that went off to war in Iraq. Most of my friends who fought there have figured this out. Still doesn't change the fact you were a victim of those psychos. I wish to god these psychos who send our young men like you to war would do a better job taking care of you guys when you get home. :O( We're a sick society in a way. We cheer you guys like crazy when we sent you off to war but then don't properly take care of you when you get home. It's sick and sad.

  10.  @DoguQ  The last thing you want to do is complain about these embargos. To anyone paying attention it seems every time you gets get an embargo against you, it makes you stronger. You end up finding ways to make it yourself. Hell in the long run a full economic embargo from Europe might even make you economically stronger long term. Although it would hurt in the short term. Keep going, few nations these days are able to exert their own sovereign policies.

  11.  @ΜΑΝΩΛΗΣΜ oh I feel you. You’re basically explaining to me the mindset you used to try to go full blown ethnic cleaning on them. Tell me more please. It is fascinating to hear the ideas and philosophies behind one group of people who try to exterminate another.

  12.  @frankdamsy9715  If they're good people why do local Kurds in Syria hate their guts? If they're good people why did they ethnically cleanse 200,000 Kurdish villagers who were against their rule? If they're good people, why are there local uprisings against them everyday in Syrian towns they've brutally occupied? If they're so good, why were they put on America's and the EU's list of terrorist organizations years ago? Please explain. Also you might want to explain how giving a terrorist organization 100s of billions of dollars is good for America.

  13. @ except the subject isn’t about turanism. Nor was my original factual comment which triggered you

  14.  @frankdamsy9715  I don't think you realize Turan bots don't exist. Also when you claim someone is a bot, you're obviously calling them based on their post. What about my post was "bottish." You can't seem to explain. What you don't realize is how ridiculous you're being.

  15.  @frankdamsy9715  Not nearly as much as you. Mr. Frank. Perhaps it is time to check those emotions and actually make a point.

  16.  @pembebulut2781  Fantastic comment. Very few people actually understand that literally less than 5% of people in Turkiye are actually Turkic The vast majority are assimilated indigenous Anatolians.

  18. Well technically they did invade it. You're just saying they had good reason to. I agree with you on that front, they had legal authorization to do so considering what was happening on the island. But it is an invasion none the less. Not all invasions are bad, this one stopped a lot of bloodshed and there hasn't been any violence on that island since their invasion. So it worked.

  19.  @Ca_s21  For you to call something propaganda, you have to actually demonstrate how it is, in fact, propaganda. You can't just scream the word and expect people to take you seriously.

  20.  @MithrandirTheNamalsky for sure. He well explained the mindset behind the ethic cleansing attempt in the 1970s. Giving the the ideological underpinning for why it was done. Very true indeed
    2
  21.  @realtalk6195  That is probably true. Nagorno Karabakh for all intents and purposes looked like an impossible area to invade. Full of mountainous terrain and littered with tons of heavy Russian equipment. This new military doctrine the Azeris used probably shocked a lot of military experts around the world.
    2
  22.  @BirTakimFikirler  So then you also understand that as a citizen of Turkiye you aren't Turkic by stock and most likely your ancestors didn't come from Central Asia? That you're essentially a descendant of indigenous Anatolian tribes who were conquered by more powerful Turkic horsemen from central Asia. Then assimilated into their language and culture?

  23. I heard a pretty harrowing story from an American soldier who served in Korea years ago about how insane the Turkish troops were.

  24. I'm shocked the military's wonderful ad campaigns aren't getting more younger men to join. Especially that one about a 96lbs girl with two moms. I mean come on, who wouldn't want to be in a life an death situation with her watching your back right?

  26.  @orhancekic_  How was it racist exactly? You either grew up in the west or have had your brain melted. The context of these things are different there they are here in America or places like England. The historical baggage between white and black doesn't exist. So calling someone "black" is no different than calling someone tall or short or strong. It is just a matter of fact. Only a person who is subconsciously racist would think being called black to be a bad thing. So honestly, the only racist I see in this equation is you.

  27.  @KingSargon96  They didn't steal anything. If they did the Somali people would be hot skipping mad. They're not.

  28. @Blue Owl, To be fair Ukraine only had about 20 of these drones in total. They're essentially expendable units, to keep up the kind of pressure these things put on Russia in the first few week Ukraine would need 100s of these things.

  29.  @frankdamsy9715  Supporting groups others consider terrorist are one thing. Supporting groups you yourself have branded terrorists is another thing entirely.

  30. @ 1. You believe the pro turanist movement has the money and resources to hire bots? 2. The turanist movement is a ridiculous idea considering people in Turkey aren’t even Turkic. Most are assimilated Anatolians 3. You have no argument considering you weren’t able to refute even one of the facts I presented. Facts>your feelings

  31. @ a guy who says people in Turkey aren’t Turkic is parroting Turkish state propaganda? I’d probably get thrown in jail there for saying that. Do you actually have an argument to make or will you continue to make overly emotional and ridiculous statements? I doubt your ability to come up with a rational response. And have demonstrated why

  32. @ yet you feel the need to make nonsensical claims instead ? That makes more sense to you? I fear for your sanity

  33.  @hstyler69  Anyone who has been there knows this to be true. They are very hard working and some what intelligent. But he forgot to add that they're so corrupt they'd also rob their own moms.

  34.  @odez5412  What you said is not only false it is demonstrably false. Again anyone who knows that nation and has had experience there since the early 90s knows how bad the corruption is today and how bad the corruption was well before Erdogan. They were corrupt before him, corrupt during his tenure and they'll be corrupt after.

  35. @Mormielo, We seem to have this sick situation where we as a society love and cheer our troops while sending them off to battle. Then don't seem to give a rat's arse about them when they come home wounded from said battle.

  36. Military parade in a nation which doesn't actually have a functioning military. You seriously can't make this stuff up.

  37.  @OljeiKhan  The guy wasn't hating Turks. He was making a much different point. Not saying I agree or disagree with what he is saying. But I completely disagree with how you portrayed his comment.

  38.  @kalle1453  You do realize the term "Turkish" refers to nationality and not ethnicity right. You can wrap your head around and comprehend this simple concept no?

  40.  @BosonCollider  The fact it costs 5500 to build is mindblowing. Imagine they deployed like 500,000 of these things all at once. They'd probably take down an aircraft carrier or two.

  41.  @Alfonzo01  Those embargos were probably the best thing for that country. It forced them to learn how to be self sufficient.

  42. @isooo8175 While everything you say about the ties between the Turks and Azeris is true. You claiming it wasn't strategic is flat our false. It was about as strategic a move as a strategic move can get. Look at a map for god's sake. They're trying to open a corridor to central Asia. Yet you claim it isn't strategic when it is again the definition of strategic.

  44.  @erfanmki  So you're telling me your entire population is Nationalist? Seriously? Even the millions in the north of the country who prefer independence? Them too? If you believe that, I have some amazing Atlantic Ocean Front property in Tehran I'd love to sell you at a really cheap price. Nor did I claim it had anything to do with Turkey. Not sure Turkey has anything to do with your delusions either, they have delusions of their own to deal with.

  45.  @anadoluparsi43  That is all well and good but will real Turkic from central Asia find it difficult getting along with indigenous Anatolians from Turkey who are completely different in behavior and habits? Turkic people aren't too used to serefsiz behavior, which Anatolians have in abundance.

  46.  @OnurlaFener  Yes the example was bad but it doesn't change the fact his point is correct. Even the YPG themselves say they're PKK.

  47.  @mustafagokcegozoglu7472  According to Colonel Douglas McGregor (don't know how right he is) but they have an insane ability to mobilize 2 million men within 3 weeks. That is insane if true. You'd have to have some pretty perfected logistics in place to pull such a thing off, it's almost hard to believe.

  48.  @Eran_Haim  Would be nice if you actually had a shred of evidence for this.

  49. Considering what they cost and the amount of manpower China has. I wouldn't be shocked if they floated 1 million of these things.

  50. No one really took that conflict seriously because it was just assumed Armenia is a backwater nation which terrible military training. No one really looked twice with Azerbaijan ran over them with a steamroller either. But perhaps we should have paid more attention, these drones were probably the major difference.
