ATAK Phase2(B2) first flight, with new avionics. a little bit late but still OK.


interestingly Aselflir300 still on the board they would replace it with CATS, if i am not wrong i see longer wings(probably new equipment makes wings longer). they put Laser Warning Receiver and new EW suit


CATS are not already accepted. Aselsan introduced another product instead of IDEF this year. CATS will probably be old history.
 
Why was Atak and Atak-2 not armed with a larger cannon? Is 20mm still sufficient today?

20mm is more than enough for dealing with terrorists. In fact it's perfect for taking out infantry. Don't forget that the T129 is a fairly light helicopter and is suitable for strafing runs. That's why the fast firing M197 is more suitable than the M230. The cannon on the T129 sprays fast and devastates groups of infantry with little room for error. Perfect for targeting PKK terrorists who are trying to flee for cover.

We will definitely see a larger gun on the 8-10 ton heavy attack helicopter. Something that will fit its role.
