🚨🇾🇪🇸🇦 — Footage shows the wreckage of the Saudi Karayel reconnaissance UAV, which was reportedly shot down during an operation over the Al-Tinah area of Hajjah Governorate. A detailed visual inspection of the debris provides concrete technical evidence corroborating the claimed shootdown.

➡️ Prominently visible among the burnt composite airframe fragments is an engine block carrying the distinct logo of ULPower Aero Engines, the propulsion provider integrated into this platform. Nearby, an intact metal identification plate on a servo actuator confirms the airframe's lineage, explicitly naming LENTATEK—formerly Vestel Savunma, the Turkish developer of the Karayel—alongside subcontractor ANDAR Elektromekanik Sistemler, complete with a manufacturing timestamp of October 2021.

The video further reveals the crushed spherical housing of the aircraft’s electro-optical gimbal payload, where a yellow caution label warning of "Class 4 Invisible Laser Radiation" confirms the integration of a military-grade laser rangefinder and designator system.

➡️ The Vestel Karayel is a tactical Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance UAV valued at approximately $17.5 million. Designed for extended intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and precision strike missions, it features a flight endurance of up to 20 hours, an operational ceiling of around 18,000 feet, and the capacity to deploy laser-guided munitions. Taken together, these unique hardware components and platform-specific characteristics leave no technical ambiguity that the downed asset is indeed a Saudi-operated Karayel UAV.
