How far is this drone from the Turkish Border?

Erdogan should shoot it down like last time.

Excellent news!

Soon, America’s filthy terrorists will be fleeing into Turkey for refuge only to escalate the shit already brewing in that cesspool!

Oh happy times… :D

Henceforth you may all call me "Prophet GR"...

Al-Nusra Fighters Flee to Turkey as Russian Choppers Chase Them in West Idlib

Why don't you put that to the test and send in the boots on the ground?

We shall see then how effective those choppers have been.

Why are you in such a hurry? There's no rush... the Russians are enjoying the duck shoot.
In fact I read an article that they're sending cadets for training to Syria! :lol:

It takes a LOT to down a Russian chopper because they’re built to withstand most light weapons.
Here’s an old video (2013?) of a Mi-8 taking a direct hit and not giving a fuck… (the Hind btw, is much tougher than the Mi-8)

That's because we are not supplying any Stingers. If that changes, then watch them drop out of the skies like flies.

we are supplying the Javelin. Good luck with that! :shock:

Old Stinger surplus stock from the 80s and 90s would still be ineffective… that’s America’s dilemma… they would to have to invest (and trust the sand monkeys) with the latest expensive Stinger variants now to have any effect against modern Hinds and all for the sake of a few downings and only to lose in the end from overwhelming Russian firepower.

I’m sure the Americans are smart enough to know that investing any further in the sand monkeys is a waste of money.

Stinger is incredibly lethal. A danger to Commercial Aviation which is why we are hesitant of releasing them in case they end up in Russian Hands!

The perfect weapon for the FSA.

We have an open cheque book for our friends GR! They are getting tonnes and tonnes of deliveries every day.

That's all subjective but a manpad only needs to be good enough to shoot down an aircraft and ours are plenty good enough to shoot down any Russian Aircraft. The Hinds have no chance and would be sitting ducks and I doubt they would even be flying if the FSA had a few Stingers.

If it were me, I would just supply the FSA with Stingers, so you better thank your lucky stars that Obama is far more considerate than I am.
