"Oudated platforms of the World"...
Apache designed 1970's
Cobra airframe designed 1960's
Soviet junk Mi-24/35 made first flight in 1969 and nothing chanced over years. At Afghanistan, Militants shot down more than 70 Soviet junks. After years, Russians agreed with French SAgem to upgrade their junks. They offered French proposals to World because They don't have advanced IR detector technology which is the key for FLIR systems.
All light attack copters have a similar length. Tiger, WZ-10 and Atak have similar lengths changing from 13,5m to 14m. The rivals of Atak which have almost same length, doesn't have any vibration or stress problem cause of bigger payload but Atak has ? Where is your source ? I think Your source is your butt that was handled at almost each subject you mentioned regarding Turkish products. My Expert...
Noone needs an heavy attack helicopter in Turkey dude. If It was, Turkish army would accept Apache offer of USA instead Turkey goes for semi-domestic solution to fullfill the COIN, Anti-tank and Multi-prupose surveillance missions on same platform.
All those "small" platforms including Tiger and WZ-10 has guns but Atak has 3 barrel 20mm gatling gun that is a perfect solution for assymetric warfare, When It is compared with rivals (30mm). If you were the man of your words, The actual question of yours should be the dispersion of munitions over targetted area and recoil effect power dude but You choose to talk about dreams instead of truths. 20mm munitions has a less recoil effect when it is compared with 30mm equivalents and During trials, Atak fired 42000 (20mm gun) over targets to check each details of design instead of spreading stupid propagandas like you did and Qualification of copter is completed and Atak passed all tests. If you have an pain regarding recoil effect and dispersion of gatling gun, Apply Turkish Land Forces officials to tell your dreams. With this way, They will find opportunity to kick an ignorant butt day and night.
AF300 with LRIW IR detector ranked as a second generation FLIR system. Among 2nd geneation systems, AF300 is the one which has one of the biggest resolution among rivals. There are a few
2nd gneration equivalent of AF300 in similar resolution in World and
All have similar weight.
but Cause of You don't have any idea What's the meaning of generation on Flirs, You are just interested in propaganda section of story.
Russian E/O products have so bad quality that Turkish army didn't satisfied with performance of Kornets so Aselsan has to design and develop a new more compact and smaller targetting system for Kornet missiles which is able to detect targets from longer ranges at day and night...
That's less capable Russian junk
French SAFRAN Sagem is upgrading your attack helicopters and offering many other options to Ka-52 and Mi-35 costumers and You are coming here to talk about Turkish E/O systems ? Firstly learn upgrading your own systems in accordance with neccesities of 21. century requirements for costumers, than come here to talk about others...
Besides, I think You are the last person on Earth to talk about Turkish E/O systems, weight of Turkish E/O products and detection capabilities. Firstly, Try to develop domestic 2rd and 3rd generation IR detector systems for your Tanks/Attack helicopter/Fighter's E/O systems instead of begging French institutes to purchase..
