I didn't followed the news for a long time, what is the situation right now ? I remember something about weight problem.

Don't know if this is the proper thread to ask this question in, how will the final product of T129 with Turkish made rockets and other armaments compare against AH-1W / Z models?

Mass production of these helicopters is scheduled for 2015.

I don't know... I've seen this news and posted it here. This is İsmet Yılmaz's claim. From this i understand that after TSK takes T-129s into inventory a good process will start about export possibilities. .. It looks like countries are waiting for TSK's acceptance. ..

Would exports be identical aircraft or minus some technology and software?
Do we have anything that we would need to take out?

A light version would't make any sense. What could be the meaning of a light version? Shorter range? Lower altitude? Only one dock station for weapons?....
