BAYKAR, one of the world's largest defense technology companies, distributed dividends, equivalent to an average of 18 salaries, to its employees.
BAYKAR, which is the company that exports unmanned aerial vehicles to the most countries in the world, has made another important decision. In line with the decision taken, BAYKAR distributed dividends to its employees who have worked for the company for more than 6 years or have served as unit managers for more than 2 years. It was learned that the dividend in question was around 18 salaries.

The decision in question was notified to the staff by BAYKAR management in a letter. The following statements were made in the letter, which included the names of Haluk Bayraktar and Selçuk Bayraktar:
“We are very happy to share some of our company's earnings with you, our esteemed colleagues who have worked on this path for over six years or who work responsibly in our units and with whom we walk shoulder to shoulder. We are proud of each of you and thank you for your efforts and determined stance. We are honored to be your companions.

You are the owners and veterans of our institution, where we have been working shoulder to shoulder for years. We are glad to have you, we are glad to have you as our companion... We wholeheartedly believe that we will achieve many more successes together. We convey our heartfelt greetings and love for your support and companionship.”

EXPORT CHAMPION

Baykar, which has carried out all its projects with its own resources since the beginning, has obtained 83% of all its revenues from exports since the beginning of the UAV R&D process in 2003. According to the data of the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) in 2021 and 2022, it became the export leader of the defense and aerospace industry. Baykar, which was announced as the export champion of the sector in 2023 by the Presidency of Defense Industries, achieved exports of 1.8 billion dollars last year.

Obtaining more than 90% of its revenues from exports in recent years, Baykar alone made 1/3 of the exports in the defense and aerospace sector in 2023. 97.5% of the contracts currently signed by Baykar, the world's largest UAV exporter, are export-based. Export agreements have been signed with 34 countries, 33 countries for the Bayraktar TB2 SİHA , and 9 countries for the Bayraktar AKINCI TİHA so far.
Baykar has surpassed the products of its American, European and Chinese competitors many times in the tenders it competed in competitively.

Seljuk is a good man, often we hear about Companies giving dividends to stock holders from profits, not often they decide to give to employees.

Nice, that is how you "buy" loyalty and being proud member of company.
After their military projects are finished i expect big things from them in civil sector like application of AI in industry productions and that will be their really world expansion moment.

I think in some ways, their military projects are just starting, the Kizilelma is going to be further developed. Their biggest thing right now is mass production, they are past the development phase for most of their projects, they need to put the akinci into mass production for the Saudi orders and others, currently there is more demand than supply for their drones.

Indonesian Air Force Commander (new one), also said Bayraktar drone for future acquisition.

He is likely dropping F15 EX acquisition previously planned by our former Air Force Commander, so lots of potential free space for other platform acquisition for 2025 - 2029 period.

AI has already been used in business sector.

I can't seem to make sense of Indonesia's fighter jet acquisitions, they seem to want to buy something from everyone a little bit, they have a russian fighter, they bought korea, they are planning to buy the KF-21, they have f-16s, they brought British Hawks, I heard rafales are now on order, now there was a plan for F-15s?

F15 EX is a heavy fighter it is supposed to replace our Su 27/30 squadrons, but it seems that curren Air Force Commander will not pursuit that path and prefer to maintain our Su 27/30 squadron and scrap F15 EX planned acquisition.

Look, Indonesia has three times zone and we have huge territory including the sea between the islands so it may behind this planned acquisition from previous Air Force Commander.

KF21/IFX is our long term goal and it has even made the law that beside medium tank, submarine, etc Indo gov should also develop fighter jet. This is why KF21/IFX program is still on going despite some hitch up here and there which is normal for any joint development program.

Rafale is to replace Hawk squdrons as we also bought Hawk around 42 planes in late 1990's. Hawk squadrons are also good to develop our avionics industry as Britain allows our avionics to replace the avionics in Hawk squadrons.

F16 keeps being maintained, refurbished, and upgraded.

As a country that has faced arm embargo before, Indonesia has strategy to face it which is not to rely on one source to get weapons, set up strategic relation with heavyweight countries outside of US, and gradually develop weapon by our own.

Understand now ?

Not enough and it scratchs the surface so to speak, plenty of room for innovation and improvement but you are right it is not complete novelty.

Indians should stop talking about Turkish politics, when Erdogan is gone Baykar will be still playing the game. Baykar is great without Erdogan and will be bigger without Erdogan.

The room for innovation and improvent is indeed very big potentially. I rather focus on how small companies and individuals use it to strenghthen their business and knowledge.

I would say it is now the time where our prophet said in Hadiths saying in end times you will see women become clever and knowledge is abundant.

The way company has grown it's all due to these workers. So yes, keeping them happy and motivated is the way forward so they continue to go on this path and make more new things.
