Bairactar or Bairaktar

 Salvete omnes,

peace in Ukraine must prevail! 

long time ago there was a famous Arabian horse sire - stallion Bairaktar written also as Bairactar.
Supposedly his name Bairaktar was a Turkish word for standard bearer. Born in the desert (Syrian?) circa 1813, he was imported to Europe after the Napoleonic Wars and would become one of the most influential sires in the history of the American and European Arabian horse breeding history.

And there was a German king, Wilhelm I of Wurttemberg, who bought this stallion in 1817, rode him  and also had him used as a sire for this studs , including Weil, where our Bairaktar died in 1838 or 39AD. 

Nota bene, supposedly the oldest existing German stud is the Marbach Stud, near Gomadingen, in Baden-Wurttemberg, established more than 540 years ago by  Eberhard I of Wurttemberg as a private stud, elevated during the reign of Christoph of Wurttember to the official state stud.   
Below two monuments to Wilhelm I of Wurttemberg and of Bairaktar.

His skeleton still exists today. 

Incidentally, there is military aerial vehicle (UCAV) alias combat drone produced by the Turkish military, and this unmanned aerial vehicle is called Bayraktar.
