st because you get a $1000 drone from a toy shop does not translate it to weaponisable platform that can drop bomb 50 km away , These are well planned , cordinated and professional organised attack from COTS hardware

They did just that with the quadcopter above, turned a toy into a weapon. Zero modification required. And yes, if you had read my links, they can. Takes little to turn a homemade UAV into a weapon:
50 Km distance?= gas powered model airplane engine- no battery power flight time restriction
guidance?= GPS waypoint unit, programmable with up to 500 waypoints. Can fly without user input, even change altitudes.
Drop bombs?- servo units, easy. Unclear which drones are dropping the modified mortar shells. If the small quadcoptor ones, it is as easy pressing a button to activate servo. What about the large model airplane ones? All you need is someone within a few km of target area with remote (does not need to fly drone as it is GPS guided), they may even simply program servo to release at certain GPS waypoint.

ISIS has been doing this for a long time, this isn’t new:

..I mean its not that some one thinks attacking a Russian air base with 15 swap of drone that are sophisticated enough to drop bomb is an over night idea , mission planning and dry runs must have been done

again had you read thread, this drone tactic has been used for years by ISIS. Don’t you think it’s possible they’ve improved on techniques?

Again, mosul drones:

others used against US, and Kurds:

his still does not prove US or Co-oilation allies have their hand in this and it will be difficult to prove either way

What can be proven beyond a doubt is that the Russian official claiming that the US is behind the drone strikes due to so-called “technological sophistication” of parts like an eight dollar altimeter, is either an idiot, or trying desperately to show some collusion between US and this attack. Just like the video game ISIS convoy, it is embarrassingly flimsy and insults the intelligence of the target audience.

the US was accused of delivering drones to militants to attack Russian bases

US Spy Aircraft Flew Between Russian Bases in Syria During Drone Attack – MoD

Total, complete, unadulterated B.S.

1. I’ve shown the drones (one is an obvious recreational drone like sold in any store) and parts can be ordered online- Bondarev claim debunked
2. P-8 isn’t a spy plane, was likely doing maritime patrol off coast.

This is getting sad, what kind of gullible idiots do they expect to believe this crap?[ATTACH=CONFIG]258240[/ATTACH]

Proof that Hobby lobby and Toys R’ US are supporting terrorists!

Looks like some of the drones were basically rec drones:

[/QUOTE]“Syria could be received from one of countries with high-technological capabilities of satellite navigation and remote dropping control of professionally assembled improvised explosive devices in assigned coordinates. All drones of terrorists are fitted with pressure transducers and altitude control servo-actuators.”[QUOTE]

This is the kind of garbage unsubstantiated reporting that is unnecessary. Really… yeah, they look very high tech. Probably can order the majority of parts off the internet, but I’m sure a “county with high tech capabilities” gave them the stuff. They look exactly as “high tech” as ISIS drones used against Kurds and US.

Here is another of the high tech drones that crashed on airfield attack:

Out of curiousity, I looked up GPS units for drones. Cost between $300-1200 USD (simple tracking tags for under $100) and can be ordered off internet. Super. High. Tech.

The Arrow is a favorite amongst the “what if” crowd. One of those aircraft who’s performance has grown to mythical status over the years. Certainly a handsome fighter, but not quite the “decades ahead of it’s time” uber-fighter as proponents claim.

Can’t even imagine what some 5th gen Arrow would cost, it was one large fighter aircraft: longer than a flanker, 50,000lb empty weight, 1,225sqft wing area.
