Nah.. Just a T-129 painted grey.. Hopefully we'll see ATAK-II which is expected to have longer endurance (Advantageous to Naval Operations) than T-129 become part of the LHDs arsenal.

Credit to squadron 11 amur amara jaya official page ig. Squadron leader of squadron 11 Assault helicopter unit is in Turkey. Usually in TNI AD a squadron comprised of 24 unit Helicopter, right now only 8 Apache is in squadron 11 the rest is mix of combat version of Bell 412Ep and Mi35. Plan is to mix Apache with medium attack helicopter like cobra or ATAK

it would be very good to see indonesia's T129 choice. We need our brothers help to accelerate our military industry and co-partnership on every military product. What's more cheerful would be is seeing Indoneasian participation in TF-X program instead of Korean future fighter.

Empty or loaded weight?
With 8 tons (empty) ATAK-II is ~3 tons heavier than AH-64 Apache and AH-1Z Viper.

MTOW bro. Atak has a 5t MTOW, while Atak-2 will have 8t.

For perspective, Denel Rooivalk has 8ton MTOW.

Bro, I don't think TAI is working on complete new body . With more powerful engines and maybe 20% extension of similar mainframe form, the payload capacity can be increased around 50%. If you ask me, Denel Rooivalk is not an accurate example. This helicopter's empty weight weight is around 5750 kg and internal fuel capacity around 1850L. And already Rooivalk is biggest attack helicopter with almost as much Mi-24, as its silhouette. 40% larger platform than Atak.(almost 2 times as empty weight)
