Ulrike FrankeUS had confirmed that it has shot down an armed Turkish #drone over north-east Syria using an F16.
The drone was not targeting US troops but came close enough to be considered a threat to US troops.

US shoots down Turkish drone in Syria; came close to troops
The Pentagon says the U.S. military shot down an armed Turkish drone that came within 500 meters of American troops in northeastern Syria. It was a rare use of force by one NATO member against another. Air Force Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, called it a “regrettable incident” and said U.S. troops were forced to go to bunkers for safety as Turkey bombed targets nearby. He says U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Turkish counterpart about the incident Thursday and underscored the importance of close coordination between their two countries to prevent risks to U.S. forces or to the mission to defeat Islamic State militants in the region.
This incident has now been confirmed by the Pentagon. But diplomacy is doing its thing.
Soo... @rikefranke you once posted a list of (all) defence related accounts active here on mastodon. Could you maybe share the list again? đź‘€
Guess it’s time to spend some more time on here.
Can’t find sources I feel comfortable posting but it looks like a US air force F16 might have shot down a Turkish Anka-S drone over Syria. Which doesn’t sound ideal. Waiting for confirmation.
Talked to WELTTV about the #drone attacks on Moscow and drones in this war more generally.
