Indeed ... well done!

But maybe you can tell them a bit more about design changes for this one. Found at the SecretProjectsForum. I know, attack helicopters don't need to be elegant or even aesthetically pleasant, but this one is IMO

I wonder how much of those changes have to do with the Ukrainian VK2500?

I have bad news for friends who read their knowledge when I said that the T129 Engine problem was not caused by a problem between us, the engine export licenses for the Philippines have been approved.
Just shared on CNN TURK by Temel Kotil
He said that the Philippines' orders will start production soon.

Thank you very much, my friend. I did not even ask for this. Thank you so much!

What about our Pakistan friends?

What about our Pakistan friends?

I think the future of our Pakistani friends with Uncle Sam will be decisive.

 

[mjting01]

I think the future of our Pakistani friends with Uncle Sam will be decisive.

I sincerely hope they get approved on their end too.

Please do your magic, TAI!

Let us hold out until the ts1400 goes operational, then we can replace the uncle sam engines with those down the line.

Afghanistan and Americans exit from it is key, if Pakistan play sensibly then can have engines approval or usa can offer its alternative..

this is the right time, once Americans are gone we will get nothing in future from usa
