The problem was the engine. Other things may have been issues but minor ones. As long as the engines are uprated and suitable for the heavy helicopter, A TRIAL WILL MOST LIKELY BE CONDUCTED. Subsequent procurement will be on the basis of suitability of the platform in light of the new tests.Do take note T-129K is a 3.6tons Helo and lacking armour vs a 5tons Z-10. I doubt turkey has some super material that can make up for the extra 1.4tons of weight mostly going into armour the helo.

I know only that the programme has been halted and production siezed for some time due to lack of interest. So it is currently not an option.@Aamir Hussain @araz @Imran Khan
What about South African Denel AH-2 Rooivalk?
It may be a costly but with complete ToT it seems promising.

It remains a fact irrespective of your name calling that the Engines have not been approved for sale to PAA. So currently if the available information is true then the Helos are not approved for sale to us. The Turks were looking for alternate suppliers of Engines but with a changed engine it will require re testing.What do you mean not allowed you crackhead the deal is done pilot training is gonna be in a few months
