Pakistan Army's T-129 ATAK Helicopter Deal | Updates & Discussions.

[TrMhMt]

what is the operational induction of the T-129 in Turkish Army - at least 2 years from now.
dont expect this platform to be in PK Army livery anytime soon.

my bet is that the super-cobra AH-1Z will be inducted in PAA sooner than the A-129.

A-129? Do you mean T-129?

IMPO, AH1Z is a good chopper actually one of the bests. If you need an attack chopper urgently, no need to wait for T-129. If you meant T-129.

I think A-129 is its generic name from its Italian origin .. but I guess you did mean T-129 meaning this Augusta A-129 Mangusta from Turkey

Why not PAC and TAI try to design helicopters on their own and ATTACK ones also. My current bet is to go for 30 Z-10P Block-Is with license to produce it at PAC Kamra

I hope Pakistan and China joint production licence and free-worry despite Italy-Turkish along with some US components and NATO access. Not only this, it will cost more expensives and spare parts problems.

I have done my analysis which better options for Pakistan which is Z-10 helicopters over T-129, Apaches, and others. A bit disappointed Turkey didn't joint with Pakistan on this T-129, I understood NATO is priority for Turkey.

Z-10 is being supported by many Pakistanis but still some spectis says Army is going for T-129 ATAK, now we used to think that Pakistan is not doing well in every sector and people aren't happy with anything!!!! Nothing well is going to happen soon....

Pakistan have evaluated T-129 to some extent and were satisfied. Perhaps this is what make us say that PA is more interested in T-129

However the NATO and US links, Along with more $$$ may have been a set back. WZ-10 is a better choice unless we get full ToT and In house production for T-129 and then it will bring T-129 and WZ-10 on level and only then PA will have two equal options to chose one from!
At the moment, number of factors support WZ-10!

I hope that Z-10P will win.

Roketsan UMTAS AT missile Launchers

First 100 serial produced Cirit semi active laser guided missiles delivered to Turkish Land Forces. Totally 2000 Cirit missiles will be produced for Turkish Army...

Along with IIR guided UMTAS, Laser guided one will also be an option for export markets.
Serial production is expected to commence in early 2013. UMTAS and CIRIT use a common laser seeker, which enables the combination of both systems in the same configuration for customised solutions.
