Pakistan Army negotiating contact for T-129 helicopter

[Windjammer]

It seems Pakistan is negotiating for licence production of the T-129.

 

[Tipu7]

Two things

1: Pakistan is looking for TOT agreement of T129.
2: Pakistan army, air force & navy, all are interested in T129.

Rest @cabatli_53 can share fresh updates related to project.

100 or so machines will really give Pakistan military the edge

Negotiating contract..

 

[BATMAN]

Loving it... i would be equally interested to see American and Indian reaction, who are preparing to launch new terror offensive on Pakistan... this time using label of Isis.

 

[Bashido]

how come the rotors look like they are only about to start when the chopper takes off? Because of the camera?

In image processing it is called Shutter Effect. In lame man term lens effecct.

T129 ATTACK HELICOPTER



T129 ATAK ADVANCED ATTACK AND TACTICAL RECONNAISSANCE HELICOPTER


T129 ATAK is a new generation, tandem two-seat, twin engine helicopter specifically designed for attack and reconnaissance purposes. T129 ATAK, developed from the combat proven AgustaWestland A129CBT, incorporates totally new system philosophy with new engines (LHTEC CTS 800-4A), new avionics, visionics and weapons, modified airframe, uprated drive train and new tail rotor.

The T129 ATAK is the helicopter selected in 2007 by the Government of Turkey for the Turkish Land Forces; development and production will be assured by the "ATAK Team", a Joint Partnership of Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc. (TAI) and AgustaWestland. The first TAI-manufactured helicopter was delivered to Turkish Land Forces by the end of April 2014.

T129 ATAK has been optimized to meet and exceed the "high and hot" performance requirements for harsh geographical and environmental conditions while providing the following key characteristics;

• Day & night all environment capability; effective, precise weapon systems that provide combat superiority while low visual, aural, radar and IR signatures, high level of crashworthiness and ballistic tolerance provide high battlefield survivability.
• Excellent situational awareness through good visibility arcs and fully integrated mission and communication systems.
• Eased crew workloads through superior performance, agility and platform stability and handling qualities.
• Reduced Preparation Time augmented by off-board Mission Planning System and reduced take-off time.
• Low operating cost through effective design and on-condition maintenance.

T129 ATAK could be provided with UMTAS ATGMs, and CIRIT (70 mm. Guided Rockets) designed for Turkish Armed Forces. Further armament options include Hellfire and Spike ATGMs, Stinger A/A missiles. A new FLIR system increases image quality and range performance with real-time image processing and multiple target tracking with high resolution thermal camera, laser rangefinder, designator and spot tracker. The relatively small radar cross section and state of the art systems counter measure systems help to provide high battlefield survivability, low visual, aural, radar and IR signatures.

Technical Specifications:

• Powerplant: LHTEC CTS-800 4A, 2 x 1014kW (2 x 1361shp).
• Max Design Gross Weight: 5000 kg (11,023 lb).
• Dimensions: Length: 13.64 m Main Rotor Diameter: 11.90 m Overall Height: 3.96 m.
• Crew: 2, Tandem.
• Cruise Speed: 269 km/h, 145 kts.
• Range: 561 km.
• HIGE: 3993 m.
• HOGE: 3048 m.
• Service Ceiling: 6096 m.
• Endurance: 3 hrs (std tank).
• Armaments: 2x4 UMTAS ATGM Missile (or Hellfire or Spike), 4x19 70 mm (2.75”) Unguided Rockets, 4x2-4 70 mm (2.75”) Guided CİRİT Rockets, 2x2 ATAM Stinger.

This PM isn't letting any opportunity go to fly in something special. I'm jealous

That's nothing special or out of the world.
its available openly and is used on various high investment commercial installations in unsafe areas... i.e. refineries, mining camps, shipping terminals etc.

When it will have a MMW radar on its rotor??

 

[BATMAN]

Seems like pakistan is not impressed with chinese z10

seems like Indians lost commission, which they were suppose to earn from Z10 deal!

 

[Sinnerman108]

Too late.

This is too little too late.

Had we gone the Russian way, we would have a ready force to defend and attack on our western border.

This Turkish contract may take another year to negotiate , and then another year before even the first machines are operational.
