A company active in the Turkish defense industry presents a new product in Ankara. This product is not very common or well known; It's a bulletproof bag.

In the advertising video, girls use this bag. According to this company's business development specialist, students can use this bag as a protective barrier by holding this bag against their body in the event of a ground attack with a firearm or knife.

According to him, this is the first product of this kind in Turkey. The company introduced this product in a situation where discussions about school security in Turkey have increased in recent months.

According to statistics, the cases of involvement of children and teenagers in crime and violence are increasing in Turkey.

Violence in schools is also part of this process.
