The designation, T129-B Phase-II helicopters include;

• 9681 V/UHF (Very High/Ultra High Frequency) radio provides frequency hopping, encrypted and clear voice/data communications in line of sight (LOS)
• RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) with a digital receiver, capable of detecting the signals of radars operating in C-J bands using Pulsed and Continuous Wave (CW) and their combinations
• RFJ (Radio Frequency Jammer) I-J Band which incorporates various advanced technologies such as Active Electronic Scanning Antenna (AESA), Solid State Power Amplifier and Digital RF Memory (DRFM) -
• LWR (Laser Warning Receiver) designed to detect almost all types of laser threats available in the world military inventory. Laser Range Finders (LRF), Laser Designators (LD) and Laser Beam Riders (LBR) threats operating on various optical bands can be detected by the system.

We can pretty much say, T-129B PII has reached its peak.

I must say, in some actions where these four participated together, they achieved quite a fame while using their guns and ATGMs.

So we should expect further orders, right?

Yes, there are a few female test pilots. This particular test pilots' name is Esra Ozturk, she's a Flight test engineer and has majored in electrical electronic engineering. She's one of many talented brains that has returned back to Turkey with the help of Reverse Brain Drain Project Turkish Aerospace (and many other companies) has implemented.

Mean no engine modification or replacement

Mean no engine modification or replacement

No phase information has been provided regarding motor replacement. As far as I know, the TS1400 uses the same type of Fadec and will be plug and play in terms of engine size.

If you mean a different engine from Europe, the problem of the engine not being exported is about Pakistan, the army does not need to use a European engine.

Question is why are have issue with European engine (which may availed somehow, as mostly helis are using) but willing to wait for American engine (which may not available, specially for Pakistan, due to lov of American for Pakistan)
