Comment
Turkish drones are getting really bold flying deep into Iraqi air space and very close to Iran too. Not only that, there's also an American KC, presumably with 'clients' nearby. What the deal here ? Is there a deal with Iraq ? And what's the deal with the Americans ? What are the rules of engagement regarding Turkish drones violating Iraqi air space hunting Kurds ? There's no need to actually engage the drones, one of the KC's 'clients' could buzz them and basically blow them out of the sky with it's turbulence...I imagine. Given that the drones are there, presumably, illegally, have illegal mode-S address etc it would be easy to 'mistake' them for hostiles and engage them in some way.Resources
