I think the T129 can be the new TB2 if engine can be sourced locally and exported in large numbers

truly a great attack helicopter

The T-129 is a joint development program product.

In the light attack class, TAI planning to develop ITAR-free solution over the T-625 infrastructure. However, since the needs of the TAF and the Gendarmerie General Command in this class are met through the ATAK-T-129, this project is subject to more experimental studies at this stage. (such as electric and unmanned what if studies)

The project, which is currently continuing as unique and indigenous, is in the heavy attack class, ATAK-II, which will make its maiden flight next year and deliveries will begin in 2025.

View attachment 862666

TUSAŞ Helicopter Deputy General Manager Mehmet Demiroğlu announced that the Ukrainian engines planned to be used in the ATAK-II Helicopter will be produced in Turkey.

The Ukrainian origin engine of the Heavy Class Attack Helicopter ATAK-II will be produced in Turkey. TUSAŞ Helicopter Deputy General Manager Mehmet Demiroğlu, who was the guest of Rana Mubashir's program on the Pakistani Aaj channel with TAI General Manager Temel Kotil, announced that the engine of the T929, or ATAK II heavy class attack helicopter, will be produced in Turkey.

Upon the question, Demiroğlu stated that the T129 Atak helicopter is not completely domestic, but Ukrainian engines will be produced in Turkey in the T929 project. Since there is no domestic and national engine alternative, its engine comes from Ukraine. Temel Kotil stated in the past that the T929 will be equipped with 2500 hp engines and will fly in 2023.

ATAK II delivery to TAF in 2025​

Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. General Manager Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil announced in A Haber's "Gendance Special" broadcast that 3 ATAK II attack helicopters would be delivered to the Land Forces Command in 2025.

Answering Defense Turk's questions after the Air and Space Vehicles Design Laboratory opening program in partnership with TAI and ITU, Temel Kotil announced that the naval version of the ATAK-II heavy class attack helicopter would be developed. Temel Kotil, “Will there be a naval version of Atak and Gökbey for ANADOLU LHD? Do you have a calendar in this direction?” to our question, “For now, we are considering the marine version of the ATAK-II.” had made a statement.

Temel Kotil had announced that the 11-ton ATAK II attack helicopter would start its engine and rotate its propellers in 2022. Kotil had previously announced that the engines of the Heavy Class Attack Helicopter ATAK-II would come from Ukraine and that a contract was signed in this context. It was announced that the T929, that is, ATAK-II, is in the 11-ton class and can carry 1,500 kg of ammunition.

T925 utility helicopter will fly in 2024​

Temel Kotil, who gave new information about the 10 ton Class Utility Helicopter, of which there is not much information, used the name T-925 in the past when talking about the helicopter.

In the last statement, Kotil stated that the T925 general purpose helicopter will have a capacity of 21 people and a ramp, and announced that the helicopter will have a joint power group with the 11-ton T-929 ATAK-II. The T925 helicopter, which will have a take-off weight of 11 tons, will have a capacity of 5 thousand horsepower (two engines).

The first flight date for the T-925 was stated as 2025, but Kotil pointed to the date of 18 March 2024 for the first flight. In the T925 helicopter, there will be an improved version of the avionics systems of the GÖKBEY helicopter and maybe.

With its components similar to GÖKBEY, especially development and production, and after delivery, the user will be facilitated in processes such as maintenance, maintenance and repair.

It is considered certain that the T925 utility helicopter will be used in TCG ANADOLU together with the T929 ATAK II.

Currently, there is an approach to deploying heavy class attack and utility helicopters on ANADOLU class and similar platforms. In addition to the heavy class higher ammunition / carrying capacity, they can perform tasks in more difficult sea conditions as platforms with high sea stance.

If it was for testing it should not be generally on camo paint,may be it is electronic war pod and at back heli there is a longunusual pod tooo

RF Jammer Pod which has been developed by ASELSAN

Thank you. Definitely Aselsan's radar jammer pod.

In triple or quad formations, one of the helicopters will significantly increase the situational awareness and ED/EA capacity of the entire wing with the systems it will carry, such as the AESA SAR/GMTI pod, Radar Jammer pod etc.

The T-129 Faz-2 has become an excellent attack platform specialized to penetrate conflict areas where asymmetric threats and mobile low air defense systems exist, as attack and tactical reconnaissance helicopter.

What about the info on :
ATGM
MMW Radar
Thanks

According to Tolga Ozbek a Aerospace analyst T-129 will get Turkish engine, at the moment it is in test phase for the T-625 and it is in his ending phase. Shor after that they will put it on the T-129. The engine is currently used for certification. If it pas that it think they will use it on the T-129, so the certification is going smooth.


So the chance that Pakistan still gettting ther Attack is possible.

Inshallah. God speed guys.

Excellent news on the engine test on the T-625 - good luck - Pakistan will induct the T-129 and I reckon T-929 for sure. It is in Pakistans interest for Turkey to develop as a miitary supplier to Pakistan at multiple levels to ensure military diversity.

In this case, TS-1400 will be used on:

• Gökbey aka T625
• 5/6 ton MTOW class naval helicopter like AW159 (multi-purpose/SAR/ASW-ASuW)
• T-129- Faz3(?) or T-629(?)

Unfortunately, the process is taking longer as we are not a member of EASA. Civil aviation manned flight permits are expected to be completed in 2023. Probably for this reason, the schedule for serial production has been determined accordingly.
