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

[Drebin]

T-129 is actually A-129, an AugustaWestland helicopter built under license in Turkey. So its not totally unproven.

Its unproven if you compare it to Americans. But the only war proven platforms in the world are US sourced as US is the only country which goes and fights other nations.

Thanks for the correction but, it was my belief that the only similarity that both share is the chassis. T-129 is based or built in A-129's chassis. Apart from that, its an entirely new system.

I might be wrong again but, might any Turkish brother shade a little light on it.

T129 program is moving at slow pace

• We need a secondary Helicopter program TOT program in country and local production line

From December 2011 to today, Atak flew 3200+ hours. During flights, Following munitions were fired.

-42000 (20mm gun)
-4800 (70mm rocket)
-600 Flare

Turkish defence industry is developing a real bloody combat copter which is able to give response to all type of threats so trials are proceeding difficult.

The quantity of munitions fired only trial process of Atak weren't fired by any European countries' copters during their operational lifetime.

Until today, TAI trained 27 T129 Atak pilots along with 107 Atak maintenance crew which is going to serve Atak team on ground.

Roketsan made Mizrak family of long range anti-tank missiles with top/direct attack modes are forming main basis of Atak's deep striking ability against enemy armours.

First guided launch of Mizrak-U

Combination of Mizrak with low cost but impressively effective Roketsan made Cirit missiles on Atak put it a different league among others. Cirit successfully hit a moving target travelling at 60 km/h while the platform AH-1W, it was fired from was moving at 220 km/h (120 knots).

Aselsan made AVCI HMDU gives Atak pilots big situation awariness opportunity. No need to look around to find targets, instead AVCI reflects everything Aselsan made 300T FLIR detects...

 

[cabatli_53]

Aselsan developed a new 3rd generation QWIP based FLIR system called "235 CATS". It is much more effective than 300T that Atak helicopter carries but 1/2 lighter. At first phase, 235 CATS is planned to integrate ANKA MALE UAV. If It is integrated on Atak, The performance parameters of copter will be advanced as well.

yaar why is our Pak.army taking so much long to decide about what is so badly needed for our pilots ... ??

 

[cabatli_53]

- Turkey produced critical parts like high composite helicopter blades. Production of Atak Transmission is also inside of Turkish responsibility.
- The helicopter body is an assembly of 6400 parts, 6200 parts are manufactured in Turkey.

1-Atak reached 556km range in trials.
2-Max speed noted in trials is 290km/h.

Both parameters are more than expected...

Just wait a little more, both T-129 and WZ-10 are underdevelopment as of now.

What about the weight issue ???

Yes...

The problems fixed on prototypes and Acceptance trials are completed step by step succesfully.
