If you go for this free helo, you still getting fool, why? When you need it for your operation and engine needs overhaul. Who to look for? Uncle Sam, they show u the finger and you helo cannot get into the air to fight insurgent. Pakistan Army failed becos attack helo cannot get in time to provide fire support and base over run by insurgent. Then who got pwned? Its not USA but PA. Its the same old story for TA-129. Dont be fool by brotherhood thinking Turkish can easily make an indigenous engine replace foreign turboshaft soon. You need to think rational.
So far, what they show is only an engine running in test lab. Do you know how long it will take from this table test to fully production operation? It will be at least 10 years. Trust me, making a high power turboshaft is not as easy as you think.
Same trick Russia used on Indian on INS Vikramaditya. The ship is free but upgrade and support come at overprice and a restriction bait.
