It is interesting that any rumor can become “well known” after person with big following talks about it.
People close to operation mentioned that having Byraktar nearby would have raised alertness of the crew, so it would not be beneficial. And the best luck was with a surprise attack. There was an interview with the commander of the unit and he mentions the atmospheric effect which allowed them to lock into the ship.
- marshray 3y ago> having Byraktar nearby would have raised alertness of the crew One theory I heard was that the drone was specifically used to distract the (mechanically steered) primary radar of the ship, thus allowing the antiship missiles to approach undetected from another direction.
- hkpack 3y agoYeah, this theory was in the same "package". People close to the matters told that this is most likely untrue and radars are capable of tracking from multiple directions. Also, anaprop conditions are common and not something which happens ones in a hundred years.
