Well, that de-escalated quickly.

Turkey 'downs toy plane on Syria border'

Plot twist: toy plane with camera and bombs strapped on it.

[–]Anthoron 107ポイント108ポイント  (44子コメント)

maybe they realised 72 virgins weren't quite as good as one slutty broad.

When toy planes martyr themselves they receive 72 unopened boxes of Microsoft Flight Simulator X upon teaching Plane Heaven.

can I choose 72 non-virgin kinky ladies?

[–]PancakeZombie [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

Don't. They would just be jealous of each other half the time. And the orgies would be filled with passive-agressive commentaries.

    Here's my question about this whole 72 virgins thing - what happens once they aren't virgins anymore? Cause only being able to have sex 72 times for the rest of eternity would suck

    [–]Frozen_Esper [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

    My question has always been "where do they come from?" Like, if a chick dies a virgin, does she get thrown into the virgin pool? Does Allah just create virgin souls for them to bang in death? What if I got 72 virgins that aren't even attractive?

    The entire concept is weird.

        [–]Lurker-kun [スコア非表示]  (9子コメント)

        Orlan-10 and the one shot down in ukraine in 2014 Compare the tails. The propellers and noses are different too: Orlan-10, unknown UAV.
        That thing is not Orlan-10.

        [–]SteveJEO [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

        Yeah. It turned out the one brought down in Ukraine had German components too so everyone figured it was probably some kind of custom solo build.

            That would have been BAD. Not because it couldn't be solved diplomatically but because it adds tension at a time that is basically the worst in decades.

                The key point is that they shot down an aircraft before they kew what it was. It's a very clear warning to Russia and Assad to stay out of their airspace.

                    Pretty impressive they could pick up something that small. Not much damage though, considering it was "shot down" by fighter jets.

                    Plus I'm confident that due to the expense of modern military equipment and in fact the cost of implementing the procedures required to launch a missile, the Turkish government did not unleash there most potent armaments on the drone.

                    Again, plus the fact it was a small drone, far removed from a highly manoeuvrable fighter, likely means they were able to scale back the equipment used. Its unlikely cutting edge guidance systems would have been employed for instance...

                    [–]InadequateUsername 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

                    Probably shot it from the plane window with a pistol.

                    They're way more likely to use radar tracking on a tiny object that's going to be particularly hard to see.

                    The radar will literally draw a box around it on the hud, it's the perfect situation to use radar.

                    I'm not sure, i mean you don't know what it is before shooting it, so probably we wasted at least $100k with AIM 9 or AIM 120.

                    [–]lil_hulkster [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

                    I'm of the opinion that they likely new it was a small unarmed drone. You'd be surprised how adept we, and indeed other nations such as Turkey, are at identifying threats.

                    Whether they believed it to be fitted with sensory equipment such as a camera or otherwise, that's not clear.

                    [–]dolmakalem [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

                    If it doesn't give you any info about itself, you don't know what it is. You only know something is flying. You can't tell the size of it either. I mean F-22 has a pretty small signature, maybe smaller than this drone.

                    Important thing is, it would've been a big, manned, Russian aircraft. That would be bad.

                    [–]lil_hulkster [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

                    Not looking to get into a detailed argument however I feel that flight path and velocities would have been monitored, which would probably have eliminated a lot of potential candidates. Plus at the altitudes the thing was flying at if there had been a Russian bomber there would have been sightings etc. For all we know they identified the thing through some eye-witness reports anyhow.

                     

                    I do appreciate your opinion and points. I admit there a possibility, however I'm speculating that they weren't the case & providing details of my logic... :)

                     

                    and yes, I'm very relieved of the outcome. Especially after those reports early last week of the Turks downing a Russian aircraft.

                        What is the range on these things? Could of it been flown out of Latakia by Russian forces? Or if it was out of range of the Airbase, was it being operated by Russian GRU or Syrian forces?

                        it looks very similar but the propeller nose on the one you linked is placed at the top and a bit smaller, while the shot down one has the propeller nose on the bottom.

                        Also look at the overall shape, the orlan has a smoother shape than the one that was shot down

                            Except that size does matter since it can carry a bigger payload. And you could easily rig a toy with explosive so that doesn't rule anything out either.

                            My point was, a drone being small doesn't mean it's not dangerous or its something unimportant. 6kgs of payload is more than enough to create a shitstorm.

                            Shortly: An unidentified aircraft was violating our airspace, we warned it 3 times, it didn't change it's movement so we shot since it was violating our rules of engagement.

                            I'm not a military expert, but maybe they didn't know it was a drone when they had detected it on the radar, warned the aircraft, the aircraft didn't/couldn't respond (because it's a drone), and so the Turkish Military decided to shoot it down.

                            I don't know if you can detect on a radar what kind of an aircraft it is.

                            You can get an estimated size, unless it's using stealth technology (which is designed to make it look smaller) and can determine it's speed by observing how far it moves between pings, those things help determine the type of aircraft.

                            [–]Bickson 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

                            You can also get speed by doppler shift of the reflected signal.

                            If the radar is rather advanced and has an array of receivers and if the motion of the aircraft is going across the field of view then you can even reconstruct the shape of the aircraft.

                              Well the drone just relays the radio messages to wherever it is controlled from. That is if it's a military drone.

                              So the drone has standard ATC radio on board - frequency controllable from wherever the drone is being controlled from so they can talk to ATC / monitor guard as appropriate?

                              It would then surely need to somehow relay that information up to the control satellite, and then over to the pilot - and the reverse to speak back.

                              Pretty cool but complicated stuff.

                              I wonder if it also has a much wider frequency range for eavesdropping on battlefield comms?

                              Many combat drones have radios that allow you to communicate with the operator. It's standard ROE most likely to warn the unidentified aircraft three times, so they're going to do that anyways no matter if the other plane can respond or not.

                              Drones have the same radio equipment as usual miltary planes, so you can communicate with the controllers just like you would with normal pilots. However, this was a toy drone. They can't do that.

                                  When they first reported it was a drone I figured it was a military drone. Those things most likely have radio just like any other aircraft and would be able to respond to calls.

                                  If it was that small "toy" in the picture I don't know how they even saw it on radar or how they shot it down. It doesn't even looks smashed up?

                                    Just for your information: Drones have radios to talk with ATC. Hence they can be contacted/warned on standard U/VHF emergency frequencies.

                                        The article states it was a NON-MILITARY UNMANNED DRONE! The post title is very misleading.

                                        My best guess is that this was planned exercise by Turkey, or NATO to serve as a warning to Russia in response to recent activities in Turkish airspace.

                                        This is clearly, and simply a line in the sand.

                                        A simple recon drone just powerful enough to carry a camera.

                                        The very fact you can watch people play with these on the streets should be a great indication that drones aren't a big deal. If Syria can buy modern military aircraft from Russia (and it does) then why are you surprised it has drones too?

                                          as do the US-led coalition against Islamic State and Russia.

                                          That's an unfortunate sentence structure you have there.

                                          Hmm "shot down". No 20mm impact and burnt traces.

                                          I guess Turkish patrol found it in special mushroom hunting operation.

                                          More likely a missle detonated close to it. Direct hits are rarely used to shoot down small aircraft at range.

                                          Russia says all it drones are accounted for.

                                          Not saying that this is the case, but Russia would likely say this even if it was their drone...

                                          Maybe they sold some? I don't know personally but it does seem like a bit of a cover up.

                                          In the pictures the drone appears to be similar to an Orlan-10. Possibly a newer version. The Orlan-10 was developed for the Russian Government. It could very well be Russian, Iranian, or Syrian.

                                          That must have been one determined bird.

                                          At first I read the title to mean that a Turkey was flying through the air and maybe got stuck in the engine, somehow bringing the plane down.

                                          Edit by ninja, looks like I'm not the first

                                          Why are they allowed to violate Syria's border?

                                          At first I thought this was about a bird strike and had no idea there were turkeys in Syria.

                                          Took me a moment to realize they were talking about the country Turkey and not the bird Turkey.

                                          Ahem. I just spent a good 30 seconds laughing at the event of a turkey, as in a chicken turkey, taking down an aircraft. I don't know how I feel right now.

                                          Bird strike can be a big issue for aircraft. I didn't think a Turkey could really fly very high though??
