Selçuk Bayraktar: “Turkish armies made history with UCAVs in the world”
‘ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUPPORTED KAMİKAZE HERD TECHNOLOGY RECEIVES ITS GREATEST POWER FROM HERD SYNERGY’
Bayraktar said, “In addition, a very important capability is that it can act with swarm synergy. Of course, in today’s combat conditions, just as the Turkish armies started the first conventional battle with UCAVs and in a sense, UCAVs have become a conventional combat vehicle with the works of the Turkish defense industry, this new generation kamikaze, artificial intelligence-supported kamikaze swarm technology, which will leave its mark on the world with the advancement of technology, derives its greatest strength from swarm synergy. It is cost-effective, has a large number of We are talking about an attack that will saturate the air defense systems in a sense. The large number of vehicles is actually a great force multiplier. It is of great importance that they are cost-effective, easy to produce, and that they can be produced on the industrial side, on the conventional industry side. Since the Kamikaze is a little larger, the Mosquito comes at the front. Imagine that a thousand-pack of Mosquitoes enters the front, and behind it are 500-600 Spears. Think of it as a kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle, we are talking about an attack package with 300-400 K2s at the back. In a sense, we have determined the world’s new generation attack paradigm, the combat paradigm. K2 weighed 850 kilos, it was the largest kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle system in the world. It takes off from short, unprepared runways, or rather from roads that do not even have runways, and this is what makes it cost-effective, especially in swarms. “It is one of the main elements in their offensive,” he said.
‘K2 ALSO HAS A RANGE OF 2 THOUSAND KILOMETERS OR MORE’
Selçuk Bayraktar, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Baykar, said, “Here you see the other elements of the swarm, artificial intelligence-supported kamikaze drone technology that we have developed, which will, in a sense, leave its mark on the combat of the future. Right behind me, you see the Mosquito kamikaze UAV. This technology is also called wandering ammunition. It weighs approximately 80 kilograms. One take-off method is launching from the catapult, as you see behind me, another is launching with a rocket, another is exactly like that.” Like the K2, you see the Mosquito, right next to it, the ammunition kamikaze UAV. Its weight, take-off weight is 200 kilos. The Mosquito had a 20 kilo warhead, and the K2 had a 200 kilo warhead. Of course, it varies depending on the mission load and conditions. “Mosquito has a range of 1,000 kilometers or more, and K2 has a range of 2,000 kilometers or more. And as I mentioned before, these are kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles with smart swarm synergy,” he said.
‘KALKAN RECENTLY ACHIEVED ANOTHER FIRST IN THE EPHESUS EXERCISE’
Bayraktar said, “Kalkan achieved another first in the Efes Exercise very recently. It took off from our ship named TCG Burgazada. There was an FPV drone developed and produced by our Skydagger company on it, which was also being used by another operator user. It took off automatically from the moving ship. The FPV drone entered and attacked the tank in the exercise area and neutralized it. Then Kalkan turned and automatically landed on the ship. In addition, Bayraktar TB3 also embarked on a new mission, Efes.” “The electro-optic system on it is also being developed by Baykar. We are talking about a targeting system developed entirely by Turkish industry and developed by Baykar. The MAM-L ammunition fired by BAYRAKTAR TB3 hit the target with the marking of Kalkan,” he said.

Breaking news | ‘Peace Process Coordination’ proposal from MHP leader Bahçeli: If there is a status gap in İmralı, it should be addressed
MHP will stand behind its historical responsibility until the end, and will walk determinedly on this path without hurting the cherished memory of our martyrs. The name of this march is ‘Terror-Free Turkey’. ‘Terror-free Türkiye’ is not surrender, concession or negotiation with a terrorist organization. Weakening the state, weakening the national will, or violating the red lines of our beloved nation do not mean anything. If there are those who attempt such imaginations, if they dare to put MHP at the center of treason, if they attempt to weigh the command center of Turkish nationalism on the same scales as terrorism, they have fallen into the dungeon of heedlessness.
IMRALI EXIT: IF THERE IS A STATUS GAPS, IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED
The National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission has undertaken a historical duty in this respect. Next are political and legal regulations. I recommend that he be the peace process coordinator.
(Imrali exit) If there is a status gap, it should be addressed. It is important to discuss the status issue of İmralı.
CHP STATEMENT
Answering the questions of journalists after the group meeting, MHP leader Bahçeli gave the following answer to the question about the CHP’s congress annulment case and the possible absolute nullity decision:
The Republican People’s Party is an important political institution that has existed since the founding of the Republic. We hope that this institution will not be mixed, broken or used for other purposes. For this reason, the Republican People’s Party should try to meet with the nation instead of continuing on its path of discrimination, harsh criticism, and belittling the people it associates with, and CHP should assume its historical responsibility.

Back-to-back operations: No illegal betting! There are many arrests
Within the scope of the “Paymix” investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, Prevention of the Financing of Terrorism and Laundering Crime Investigation Bureau, 30 people who were the ‘top managers’ of the network were detained. On the other hand, Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek announced that a heavy blow was dealt to the criminal organization that managed a dirty money traffic of 1 Billion 600 Million TL in virtual betting and gambling operations carried out simultaneously in 8 provinces. Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi said, “We will never allow virtual gambling barons and betting gangs that target our youth and family structure. Our fight, shoulder to shoulder and with determination, for the peace of our country will continue uninterrupted.” he said.

As a result of the work of MASAK and Istanbul Provincial Gendarmerie Command Anti-Cyber Crime Branch, it was determined that Malta-based crypto asset service provider Paymix provided financial infrastructure to illegal betting organizations. It was determined that the proceeds of crime were laundered through shell companies, multi-layered transfer chains and crypto asset transactions, and a monthly transaction volume of approximately 1 billion dollars was generated through the structure.
30 SUSPECTS WERE DETAINED IN THE FIRST TWO OPERATIONS
In the Paymix-1 and Paymix-2 operations organized within the scope of the investigation, simultaneous operations were carried out against a total of 30 suspects. A large number of real estate, vehicles and bank and crypto asset accounts were seized. Additionally, SDIF was appointed as trustee to three companies.
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR 49 ILLEGAL BETTING SITES
During the technical investigations carried out in the companies to which trustees were appointed, it was revealed that infrastructure and hosting services were provided to 49 illegal betting sites through some servers, a large number of user data was kept in the systems and bank accounts were used in these activities.
MILLIONS OF DATA HAVE BEEN DETECTED
It was also understood that user and transaction data regarding illegal betting activities were recorded in this system. Approximately 13 million 800 thousand illegal betting user/player records were reached. Approximately 3 million 173 thousand user records matching the Turkish ID number were identified as individuals. Approximately 8 million 800 thousand user records containing phone number information were accessed. In addition, approximately 14,600 bank accounts used for depositing money to illegal betting sites and approximately 52,800 bank accounts considered to be used for withdrawal transactions were identified.
FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS LARGE DATA NETWORK HAS BEEN REACHED
It was noted that accessing such a large data network for the first time is of critical importance in terms of unraveling the financial network related to illegal betting activities in the future, revealing the organizational structure and determining the size of the proceeds of crime.
CRYPTOS WERE CONVERTED INTO GOLD
It was determined that the suspects first converted the income they earned from illegal betting into crypto money and then into cash or gold, and some jewelers mediated these transactions in return for a commission. Those jewelers were also added to the investigation.
COMPANIES WERE OPENED ABROAD
E-commerce sites were opened through companies established abroad to launder illegal betting money. Fake commercial transactions were carried out with cryptocurrencies on these platforms. It was understood that the crypto money transferred here was laundered by sending it to different company accounts using international money transfer methods.

With the strong coordination and coordinated work of our Ministries of Justice and Internal Affairs, under the leadership of our President Mr. @RTErdogan, we are revealing the global networks of virtual gambling and black money traffic, one by one!
