1. AGAIN A HISTORY INVENTED BY INCOMPETANT ARMY OF ERDOGAN !
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (01.03.12)
2. HA! HA! HA! I had to crack - up!
Israeli 2   (01.03.12)
"When they received confirmation, the soldiers abandoned their post for fear of an attack." Man! Typical TURKEYS! It is only a drone, Turkeys. Yeah! Be afraid...be very afraid. Heee! Heee! Heee!
3. Israeli Drone and Turkey
Turkish Girl ,   Turkey   (01.03.12)
I don't believe that for some reason.
4. how does they know that it is a Heron drone
Castor Troy ,   Los Angeles-USA   (01.03.12)
perhaps it is yet another intelligence gathering drone.. or perhaps a kind of UFO lol !
5. hhmm maybe they got confused.
Daniel ,   Tracy USA   (01.03.12)
For a country with open al bet strained relations I wouldn't think Israel would need to spy on them. I am wondering if they got confused with one of the units they bought from Israel. Sometimes the intelligence guys don't always talk to the other guys on the ground.
6. Turks started telling tales like the Arabs
CJ   (01.03.12)
Soon they are going to spot a vulture landing some sharks to scare all the tourists near Antalya.
7. TURKEY AND ''ISRAEL''.
A WONDER(SJOERD RU.) ,   MULTIVERSE   (01.03.12)
HEY ''ISRAEL'', MIND YOUR OWN ''ISRAELI'', INTERNAL BUSINESS, IN PRINCIPLE, IN THAT CASE, GRADUALLY AT LAST. THE SAME GOES FOR EVERY COUNTRY/PEOPLE AND LET THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION DO THE MEDIATION AS AN IMPARTIAL PARTY.
8. Complete fabrication. Did Turks almost down their own Heron?
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (01.04.12)
Comical Turk accusation. The Heron system, with a normal load of cameras and sensors, lacks the range to reach any of Turkey's military bases and return to Israel - not even close to the reuired range to do that. The Turks are well aware of this, because they own ten Heron drone systems they bought from Israel. Maybe they got confused, misidentified one of their own Herons as Israeli and nearly shot it down. Blaming Israel to save face for their failings. This would be consistent with the inept Turk military killing 35 of their own unarmed citizens last week in airstrikes after misidentifying them as Kurd "terrorists" [BTW, where is the Ankara apology and demand for prosecution of the pilots who fired].
9. I'd Run Too!
Alex ,   Houston, USA   (01.04.12)
Most likely they were afraid of Erdogan firing upon and killing his own people. or more likely... this is a distraction from Erdogan using Turkish Fighers to kill his own people.
10. Last week they picked up an outline of a Winnebago
Aharon   (01.04.12)

13. Whatever really happened, Islamists bent on RUINING Turkey.

14. SLOW NEWS DAY AT YNET
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (01.04.12)
YNET is desperate for news now. I guess it must be a slow news day for you. What is this garbage? You don’t have any evidence about anything here. You are just filling up a page with nonsense.

john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (01.04.12)
Your aerial defense forces do silly girl.
16. They can tell its an Israeli drone by radar? Is Turkey
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.04.12)
looking for more confrontation after brother Haniyehs VIP welcome? The officer saw a light. Sure it was not the secret Imam?
17. 1-13 It's unusual that.......
Robert ,   Australia   (01.04.12)
.............the common man is privy to all military matters as is evidenced by the posters here.
18. UFO over Turkey
Beary White ,   Norway   (01.04.12)
No evidence, no drone!! Might be one of their own drones actually took off.!! Or maybe it was a UFO? People all over the world sometimes see strange light, here is the link to post your observations: http://www.mufon.com/
19. Too much Turkish hashish..perhaps..??
Stella ,   Cyprus   (01.04.12)
Too much Turkish hashish perhaps..??
20. #7 SJOERD, NO NEED TO PROVE IT
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.04.12)
We already know that you're a moron Two fast flying Turkish jets weren't able to intercept a slow flying drone, that sure makes for one hell of pathetic Air Farce Speaking of drones, you sure are one, droning on and on of what you have never seen You remind me of another two jerks, Ajijibolah & Observer, methinks you're one and the same, three nerds in a pod
21. deceptive headline. almost shot down? what a joke. bright
ralph   (01.04.12)
light, wow this man has radar eyes, should apply his kills to looking thru womens clothes. he can see 30,000 feet, right on.
22. I bet it was actually an Iranian drone.
Vlad   (01.04.12)
Iran and Turkey are major competitors, and within the next decade, they will likely be vying for dominance in the region.
23. So they nearly shot down one of their own!
AKUS ,   Washington, DC.   (01.04.12)
Probably that was a Turkish drone purchased from Israel which they almost shot down by mistake!!
24. #8
(01.04.12)
better yet, WHERE IS THE UN DECISION TO SET UP AN "IMPARTIAL AND HONEST" INVESTIGATING TEAM, SEND THEM INTO TURKEY TO FACE ERDOGAN AND SEEK EXPLANATIONS AND TALK TO THE TOWN IN WHICH THE 35 TURKISH INNOCENT CITIZENS WERE BOMBED AND MURDERED? WHERE IS THE UN? UNLESS IT SAVES THIS "IMPARTIAL" INVESTIGATION ONLY FOR ISRAEL, WHICH IT ALWAYS DOES, BY THE WAY. FOR THAT MATTER, WHERE IS THE UN IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATION ON OVER 5,000 MURDERED BY ASSAD IN SYRIA? WHERE IS THE UN IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATION ON THOUSANDS KILLED IN SOMALI RECENTLY? THE UN IS CONSPICUOUSLY SILENT. WHY? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T INVOLVE JEWS AND ISRAEL hameed aboughaze, iranian
25.  looking at new developments nowadays
kuzeyli ,   İstanbul,Turkey   (01.04.12)
When İran emerged as a threat for all region peace..I think Turkey and İsrael will co-operate on this issue..Turkey is now trying to change the position of palestine and syrian opposition to Turkey side..(I think, İsrael is supporting this Turkish policy and waiting the conclusions..When İran is isolated from the region and syrian regime collapse ,İran ties with lebanon,syria and Hizbullah will be broken..When this policy achieve its target, After then ,İsrael will make a military action against to İran..I think, now,Turkey ,israel and USA are working on this path .. When Turkey and israel establish new diplomatic ties due to Iran ,After then ,İsrael will make an apologize for flotilla and pay some compensation to victim of the flotilla..and Turkey will give guarantee not go to any court against to İsraeli officers because of the flotilla....this file will be closed ..After all, İsrael and Turkey will be friendly countries again..
26. how do they know it was a heron drone?
Tambour ,   Eilat   (01.04.12)
Because it did not look like a goose Stupid
27. Turkish officer saw red light in the sky
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (01.04.12)
He's been drinking again! Haram!
28. Not too credible.
Joel ,   New York, USA   (01.04.12)
A slow drone escapes high speed fighter jets? Right.
29. #7 SJOERD
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.04.12)
YOU HAVE ALREADY SHOWN YOU ARE NOT FOR PEACE IN ALL COUNTRIES NOR ARE YOU CONCERNED FOR ALL COUNTRIES/PEOPLE. YOU NOW SHOW HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW BY CALLING THE UN AN IMPARTIAL PARTY. NEITHER ARE YOU, OBVIOUSLY.
30. This story does make sense
Moshe ,   Rehovot, Israel   (01.04.12)
The possibility that Israel is using drones to monitor the placement of radar and SAM batteries in souther Turkey is a real one. The "Northern Flight Route" to Iran goes along the Turkish-Syrian border. It would only make sense to monitor deployments in the area.
