Atak-2 deal between SSB and TAI have been signed. Italy seeks to join into Atak-2 program to meet their future heavy class attack helicopter requirements.

Thanks Allah to make us achieve all those strategic projects in Muslim Geography ! Europe doesn't have an equivalent of Atak-2 and It will be direct competitor of US Apache. Hard-working skill of this proud nation will be proceeded with new 12t utility helicopter program to be revealed in following months. The Atak-2 transmission and engine is based on this utility helicopter.

Not yet, but I'll translate. The beginning of the video is about what TA (Turkish Aerospace) has been doing in the near term (i.e. realized projects). Then you get the flashy text (bigger better yada yada), after that the new heli pops up, here's the translation ;

• HOGE capability (hover outside of ground effect), 6000 feet in 35c @MTOW
• Crew, 2 pilots
• Arsenal capacity 1200kg (not including launchers)
• Operation envelope, between -40 / +50 C day and night
• Ballistic protection, armored against 12,7mm rounds
• Basic Equipment:
  • 4 axis autopilot
  • Modular avionic architecture
  • Target detection radar
  • Target detection system
    
  • Imaging system embedded into the helmet
• Service ceiling 20.000 feet
• Top speed (VNE) 172kts
• Weapon systems
  • 30mm cannon
  • 6 wing station
    • 2.75" unguided rocket
    • 2,75" guided rocket
    • Anti tank missile
    • A2A missile

Other stuff from what @cabatli_53 mentioned (not included in this video) ;

• DIRCM Infrared counter measure system
  
• Mildar MMW radar
  
• 30mm cannon with buried munition box
  
• 3 weapon station on each wing
  
• 360 degree electronic warfare counter measure systems (HEHSIS) buried into fuselage
  
• 16 Long range ATGM carriage capacity
  
• Heavy armor protection (Cockpit protection against 12,7mm)
  
• 10 t MTOW (T-129 Atak : 5t MTOW)
• Transmission and engine from another Turkish helicopter project, meaning it will be locally designed and produced (no chance of sanctions on that, ha!)

What I'm wondering is the A2A missiles, if this is going to be ready in 5 or so years, that means that the Turkish Bozdoğan missile family will be used here. Pakistan will love this, it's everything she wants and non of it can be sanctioned. Loving everything about this project so far.

BTW I'm not sure if this is going to be called the ATAK-2, as this is a different class (heavy attack). You don't abandon light attack helicopters because you have heavy ones - they exist side by side, like a car and pick up truck.

So I'm guessing this will have a different name, and ATAK-2 will be reserved for a future re-design of our light helicopters.

I’m calculating 3000hp engines!
