When Turkish drones decimated the Assad regime and Libyan warlord Khalifa Hafter, they said the TB2 only work against militias not in conventional warfare. After the success in Armenia, they said Turkish drones work against ill-trained armies but not against Russia.
Yeah.. 🤷♂️
Ukrainian army again released a video of TB2 drone use in Ukraine. What appears to be a BUK air defense system was destroyed.

You can't make this up:
After Türkiye bombs facilities of the US-partner forces in Syria, the Russian military paves a visit to the attack site to inspect the damage.
While Russia continues to invade Ukraine, Russia and the US work and support the same terror group in Syria.

With Hakan Fidan (former head of Turkish Intelligence), Turkish talks with Damascus are dead - if Assad doesn't change its attitude unexpectedly.
He was the leading actor in Turkey’s Syria policy and will likely have a more hawkish position against the Assad regime.

Erdogan made a very strong speech against racism and made clear that racist accounts on social media will be restricted.
Two weeks ago, the sermon in the mosques at the Friday prayer was against racism.
More and more Turkish voices counter the racist propaganda against Syrians.

For some time, a media-bias evolved that Turkey is at odds with all other regional states.
A humble approach by me to show Turkey's relations simplified.
In reality, relations are much more complicated.
