| 'More prey than hunter:' the fall of 'Bayraktar' as a result of 2022 |
| 2022-12-29 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Sergey Adamov [REGNUM] Based on the results of the year, it can be stated that Bayraktar drones are generally capable of performing tasks in theaters of military operations where a layered air defense system has not been created. But in the presence of serious resistance “on the ground”, the effectiveness of drones is significantly reduced. The Ukrainian conflict clearly shows that when meeting with a more serious enemy, Bayraktar often becomes prey than a hunter. |

| #2 The Bayraktars first disappeared when they were being shot down by Russian air defense. They made a brief reappearance when Ukraine received HARM missiles and were able to achieve local air superiority. This is also why it is a bad idea to send Predator drones. They need line of sight to the target and won't survive in an air defense environment. |

| #1 I have wondered about this; the Turkish drones were reportedly successful in the early stages of a conflict and were widely covered in the media. However, they have since disappeared from both the battlefield and the media, which has puzzled analysts. |
