I've always thought war is no place for people. We fought in Afghanistan extensively from the USA. Every country is going the drone route in the air on land and on the sea.

This is a really good catch. Until now, I never really thought of the Turkish Republic as anything other than a deadweight in terms of military support.

I understand that the TB3 Drone is an unmanned air combat platform capable of carrying a launch of 4 anti-tank missiles (ATM). That could make a difference in the defense against armor. A maximum effort could put as many as 200 ATMs in play. I did read somewhere that the Turks are also testing the ability to both launch and recover drones using a large cargo plane.

Most Respectfully,
