The Russians, using deepfake technology, tried to communicate with Haluk Bayraktar on Shmygal’s behalf.
The Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine prevented the provocation of the Russian Federation against the CEO of the Turkish company Baykar Defense Haluk Bayraktar, the press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate reported on Sunday, October 9.
“The Russians tried to contact one of the founders of the Baykar defense company, which produces the famous Bayraktar drones, Haluk Bayraktar. The conversation was conducted on behalf of the Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal , whose video image was actually created using deepfake technology. However, instead of the expected conversation with Mr. Haluk, the Russians were “lucky” to talk to the less fake “Baykar company secretary ,” the report said.
Intelligence officials said Russian operatives exposed themselves several times during the call.
“The low level of training of Russian operatives follows, which exposed themselves several times during the conversation, including for ignorance of the correct pronunciation of the stable expression “confused woman”, which they pronounced as the Russian “Indian summer,” the report said.
So, according to GUR, the invaders tried to undermine the cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey.
At the end of the conversation, the Russian operatives were informed that they had been exposed and would be held accountable, the report said.
On the eve of the GUR mass detention of the military was announced in Moscow after the explosion on the Crimean bridge.
