A company operating in the arms and defense industry sector in Ankara has prepared an unusual backpack that provides ballistic protection for school-aged children. The promotional presentation argued that in the event of a possible armed attack, a student could use this backpack as a shield to protect themselves.

Test Footage on the Social Media Agenda

Rather than the product's features, the footage showing the testing of the backpack's durability sparked controversy. With the spread of the footage on social media, targeting children through the possibility of armed attacks drew criticism.

Diverse Opinions Among Users

Commentators on social media were divided. While some individuals defended that the product provides protection against dangers, others stated that marketing such products to children is wrong. It was emphasized that security should be ensured through preventive measures rather than individual products.

Call to Ministries and Demand for Investigation
