Chinese military satellites relayed the Indian Air Force movements to Pakistan command and control stations
these in turn communicated with the range of Erieye AWACS platforms and sensors DA-30 to detect the incoming aircraft
the fighter jets J10CE + PL-15 missiles then vectored to shot them down , it all comes to one thing, situational awareness , this I not a fluke or a lucky hit
Turkey has 3 military satellites, Gokturk 1 and 2 and Tusksat 5A
Turkeys BHZS program will deliver another 5-8 satellites post 2030
China has many dual use satellites but has over 500+ ISR satellites
if Turkey wants to cover the Eastern mediterranean it needs to build dozens of military satellites
Indian Rafale was not shot down by luck using J10CP + PL-15
Pakistan was able to see every single move India was making
they had been reached level of quantum computers which were used to break advanced encryption used by the Indian military
they knew exactly when the Indians were moving , what path they were taking and knew exactly the numbers they were dealing with
Rafale + Spectra self defence suite is amongst the top fighter jets of the world a really NATO standard or above, Indians pilots were also well trained
but Pakistan had access to Chinese military satellites, China has over 150 military satellites and USA has over 250
but Chinese ones are concentrated in one region whereas US has global network spreading out
by 2030 China will have more military satellites than US
my point being military satellites are the eyes an ears of any war, if you can see your enemies movements you can prepare
and to track enemy movements in real time like a aircraft carrier or intercontinental bomber like the B2 you need dozens of satellites to monitor movements in real time over a 24 hour period
outside China no one can really afford this kind of global situational awareness, but lets say if Turkey can lead the nations like France, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy and Israel in the number of military satellites
that would put Turkey in a very good position to monitor the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean including air bases in Israel
Turkish private space company, Fergani Space, founded by BAYKAR’s Selçuk Bayraktar, launched its second fully domestic Satellite, FGN-100-D2, into space
Fergani’s vision and goal to reach more than 100 Satellites within 5 years, as well as "to put our Uluğ Bey Global Positioning System into service
