Tuc-1 (Mean "Turk Configuration-1") indicates an early period of T-129 Atak program which will be integrated some foreign missiles and systems cause of time schedule of comparable Turkish systems such as HMDS, AT Missiles.

Tuc-2 is the final version of T-129 Atak program that will be integrated completely Turkish systems and missiles.

Pakistan would definetly go for something that is better and can be easiy to get spares of.
If TUC-2s spares will be liscened and manufactured then PA will certainly buy TUC-2.

Kindly Explain Both
Thanks

I talked about it in my thread about Turkish military capability but the main difference in configuration is the weapons. 30 will be produced using American based weapons systems while the other 20 will be configured to use Turkish weapons systems. Also the helmet systems will be different(Israel for batch of 30 and Turkish for batch of 20)

T-129 TUC-1 will have an indigenous mission computer, indigenous EW and countermeasures, Aselsan AselFLIR-300, foreign helmet-mounted cueing system (either Elbit or Thales), and foreign missile (either Hellfire II or Spike ER).

T-129 TUC-2 will have an indigenous mission computer, indigenous EW and countermeasures, Aselsan AselFLIR-300, Aselsan AVCI helmet-mounted cueing system, Roketsan UMTAS missile, and Roketsan Cirit Laser guided 2.75 in rocket

Most importantly though over the original Italian platform the turkish one will use stronger engines for sustained hovering capability at higher altitudes. Something which will come in very handy over mountainous terrain.

Most likely it will be the Tuc-2 since i am sure the plus 40 option will be in a full Turkish integration.

Turkey's first T129 attack helicopter crashes

The first prototype of AgustaWestland's T129 attack helicopter being developed for Turkey crashed on the afternoon of 19 March during a test flight, leaving its Italian test pilot and its test engineer needing hospital treatment for minor injuries.

Early indications point to a loss of power to the tail rotor while flying at an elevation of 1,500ft (455m) near Verbania in northern Italy. Investigation of the incident will focus on establishing the exact cause of the power failure.

The $3 billion ATAK project, based on the A129 Mangusta, is likely to be delayed because of the crash. The deal was signed in 2008, and the first prototype, P1, made its first flight in September 2009. Turkey has ordered 50 production T129s for delivery from 2013 and has options on another 41.

AgustaWestland will make two T129 prototypes in Italy, after which manufacture will shift to its Turkish partner TAI. The aircraft will be equipped with Turkish-made systems including electronics, forward-looking infrared sensor, cockpit avionics and mission computer from Aselsan, and weapon systems from Roketsan.
