Pakistan recently bought AW139 if I remember correctly. Once this helicopter is ready to go with Turkish engines, I hope Pak would go for this in the future to fulfill the role that AW139 is currently serving.

Pakistan and Turkey should focus on Turbo engine development.

Bro, i'm following this project for years now and afaik there have been no foreign input (in terms of development and production) at any level.

This project started way back in 2015 and even before that there had been other projects to gain critical technologies going back to 2010-2012.

You can find more detailed info in this post.

How?

How?

In very short time Turkish built a good engine, which meet its local requirements , China still testing its home made helo engines.

Really? Can you give us examples? I remain skeptical. In addition, which engines are they using currently? Russian ones?
