Besides what PanzerKiel mentioned you also have to take into account that in todays war theater there will be a significant amount of electromagnetic spectrum jamming which will have a profound effect on UAV especially if they are manual or semi autonomous. You cannot guarantee that you will be able to use a UAV in all theaters. Uptill now there have been no war fought between high tech adversaries which used UAV in conflict. (Azeri and Armenian example is a bad one as Armenians dont really have good jamming equipment).I fail to understand what advantage Attack heli's offer over UCAV's, can anyone answer this?
@PanzerKiel
no they got modern jammers from russia but wasnt enough to be good(Azeri and Armenian example is a bad one as Armenians dont really have good jamming equipment).
against the Turkish EW systems, which can decode and apply the counter-measures on-the-fly...no they got modern jammers from russia but wasnt enough to be good
It depends on how fast they can place it in first helicopter and how fast that helicopter passes all the trials.So how many years in actual to be in production mode using TS1400 for atak 129
Close range air support, with constant fire.I fail to understand what advantage Attack heli's offer over UCAV's, can anyone answer this?
@PanzerKiel
Alhamdulliallah all Praise Belongs to Allah and His MessengerPak's long wait for ATAK choppers, hopefully with full Pak based production capabilities, are there to end at last!!! The Turkish TS-1400 turbo-shaft engines, whose various versions will be used for ATAK and ATAK-2 platforms, have been handed over for the integration with the Gokbey utility choppers as the first step! Elhamdulillah....
That Muthish sound....
