T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

[ziya]

one more upgrade should be included on atak helicopters for the supression of air defence systems that needs very low altitute flight profile

and also for terrain profile for this on atak II

T629, built on T625 Gökbey's skeleton. It looks significantly better than the last time, but i still hate those weird wings. Hopefully there's an engineering reason behind that ugly wing shape.

Also what's the point of all those cameras on the cockpit, is this gonna be an unmanned attack helicopter?

I don't know why 2nd and 4th pics don't show, they're visible in edit mode.

SavunmaSanayiST als claims it to be an ELECTRIC powered helicopter, but they are not reliable and made a lot of fake news in past so better to wait for official TAI event.

Seems like unmanned attack heli concept and personally speaking, that looks impressive. Even an idea as such will give you goosebumps. I am sure that those cameras are merely a presentation for a prototype otherwise, the final product shall be looking too futuristic and compact in design with aggressive mean look.

A 2nd thought suggests that a stealth design concept can be extracted from same frame, replacing cameras for pilot view/cameras may be presenting the cockpit view.

This Beauty is now in HD.

 

[aziqbal]

so T629 is unmanned?

T129 off course manned

T929 heavy manned

 

[xbat]

T629 will have 2 variants manned and unmanned, unmanned one may not go to serial production but manned one sure.

Cannot understand why more sophisticated model has given to police in stead of Land Forces.
Anyone with logical answer???

In an interview he attended yesterday evening, TAI general manager announced that 6 units of T129 ATAK helicopters will be exported to the Philippines. Last week, some defense sources were saying that engine export permits for the Philippines were about to be obtained. The fact that the Philippines' export these helicopters without problems is also an answer to those who want to manipulate the content of the problems behind Pakistan's Atak project.

May I ask what do you mean by your statement? That Pakistan will be getting the permits?

What about the articles that have been popping up, lately?
