Comment
One of three drones active over Syria. It mainly flies a tight pattern over Kafr Takharim West of Aleppo. Like 6007FF -- also active at the time -- it is also different from the third regular drone with them TB2T97. Unlike the usual all digit illegal mode-s these two have an equally illegal mode-s code but they include letters and neither has a flight-number/call sign. They also appear to fly higher and faster. Maybe a new version of the Bayraktar or an upgrade. I suspect the drone tests at Keşan Airport not only involve new drones but also that some drones have been getting an engine upgrade.Operations
