“Can wipe a small town off the map”

“- Let me give you an example. I’ve seen such a weapon system being worked on and it’s very simple. You know those electricity poles on the street. There are metal rods the size of those poles, about 7-8 meters and 10 meters high. It’s just a rod, there’s nothing inside, no explosives or anything.

– But they are made of titanium alloy, hard material, metal rods. They place them on the satellite and launch them towards Earth, targeting certain landmarks from there. It is like a kind of stake with a sharp point. For example, God forbid, I will not name names, so as not to create a disaster scenario.

– When it hits the ground, it penetrates up to 5 kilometers into the ground. It comes with such a speed and creates a 7-8 degree earthquake with the effect of that impact. Everything that is there collapses. So there are no guns, no explosives, no bombs, nothing, just a simple rod.

– But it has such power, it comes from space. And you have no chance to see it, no chance to defend yourself, no chance to stop it, nothing. I don’t know if such a system actually exists, but I have seen such engineering work. There is something else, there is a system called DMP, for example, our young friends saw it in the Matrix. You know, there it detonates like an electromagnetic wave.

It still exists today. When someone sends an intense electromagnetic wave into a certain area, all the existing circuits burn out. This is the reason why the TV breaks when lightning strikes, the strong current, the large electromagnetic field burns everything,” said Serdar Hüseyin Yıldırım, in the speech that brought him to the center of media attention.

Later, the Turkish official had to explain his claims, so he made the following remark on Twitter:

“We have received a lot of questions regarding the video that has been circulating on social media for a few days now. This short video is an excerpt from a lecture I gave at a strategy institute a long time ago. We have described a weapon system that, when deployed and used in Earth orbit, can wipe a small town off the map.”
