Highlights from Baykar Chairman Selçuk Bayraktar 's speech are as follows:

We're currently on the TEKNOFEST Blue Homeland route. We're aboard the TCG Anadolu. We have a national frigate and a submarine. There will be a convoy featuring distinguished works of our navy. This is an event organized as part of Victory Day, August 30th. As part of TEKNOFEST Blue Homeland, we're also holding competitions. The Bosphorus transit will follow shortly. The ships will head to Istanbul Shipyard. It will be open to visitors on August 30th and 31st. We welcome everyone. Registrations can be made through our TEKNOFEST website. Memberships on NSosyal will also provide special privileges. We have another competition running through NSosyal. We want to tell all generations what the Blue Homeland is. We're creating works that will leave their mark on the world.

An art competition for elementary schools, and an essay competition on the Blue Homeland doctrine for high school, university, and post-university students. Those who participate in that competition will be able to visit on August 28-29, when it is closed to the public.

'WE HAVE 3 COMPETITIONS'

This will be an event where not only our ships and those of our navy but also champions of technology compete. We have three different competitions as part of TEKNOFEST Blue Homeland. One of them is organized by ROKETSAN.

In honor of our independence in the Blue Homeland, they are holding an underwater rocket competition. ASELSAN is organizing an unmanned underwater competition. We will also have an unmanned surface competition. I invite our entire nation to TEKNOFEST Blue Homeland on August 30th and 31st to celebrate our Victory Day in the most beautiful way. The Bayraktar TB-3 became the world's first unmanned aerial vehicle capable of landing and taking off from short-runway ships. There was a global competition in this field, and it became the first country to complete it. The US and another country had claimed to be the first in this field. The Bayraktar TB3 fulfilled that claim.

We will explain what the Blue Homeland means to society. BAYKAR is the world's largest UAV/UCAV manufacturer.
