During a recent 'National Technology Initiative Talk' at Karadeniz Technical University (KTU), Selçuk Bayraktar -- the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Türkiye Technology Team Foundation (T3 Foundation) -- spoke to students about the history of BAYKAR. Bayraktar pointed a finger at the importance of the foundation's technologies, noting their shift from seeking assistance from other countries to now being sought after themselves. Bayraktar declared their intention to have the Bayraktar TB3 UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) fully operational by 2024, emphasizing its successful flight trials. The Baykar chief expressed great satisfaction with the accomplishments of both the TB3 and KIZILELMA, predicting that these advancements will make a significant impact in the history of aerial warfare. Bayraktar highlighted the vital role that their unmanned aerial vehicles have played in achieving independence for their country and crushing terrorism. He reaffirmed their unwavering dedication to this cause, with the ultimate goal of securing complete autonomy in their airspace. Bayraktar also mentioned that BAYKAR's fundamental principles revolve around striving for absolute sovereignty in the skies. Bayraktar praised the KIZILELMA test flight for its success, calling it a game-changer. Additionally, he called attention to the close coordination between KIZILELMA and AKINCI during the flight, which he described as a significant milestone in aviation history. In summary, Bayraktar emphasized the importance of these aircraft and praised the students' efforts, predicting that once Bayraktar TB3 and KIZILELMA are fully operational, they will make a significant impact on global warfare, similar to their existing UAVs.
