Comment
OK, so two things : Turkish drones *do not* take of in Greece. Not from Rhodes and not from Alexandropouli ! Second the maximum speed of a Bayraktar is 220 km/h or 120 knots -- cruising at 130 km/h or 70 knots. There's no way this drone can fly well over 1,000 km -- many many miles -- from Keşan airport -- *not* Alexandropouli -- where a drone with the same mode-s address was being tested 3 hours earlier, to where it now on the Iraqi border. Even if you were to load it in a jet to fly it the distance you could not make it in under 3 hours. This must be a different machine.Resources
