Usta, TAI announced 2 new types last year, the Atak 2 and a 10 ton Attack helicopter, is it one of those or another new design?

 

[YeBeWarned]

My best wishes for Turkey, May Allah grant them success in every project ..

Usta, TAI announced 2 new types last year, the Atak 2 and a 10 ton Attack helicopter, is it one of those or another new design?

ITAR free Atak (T-629) with new design features(thanks to feedbacks from Army), improved MtOW figures (6 ton) and more capable sensor payload. The national engine, transmission and rotor will be same one used on Gökbey helicopters.

Atak-2 is heavy class (10+t) anti-armor attack helicopter and It will make maiden flight in 2023.

10t utility helicopter and Atak-2 heavy class assault helo will use same engine (TS-3000), transmission and rotor systems.

There was a confusion about Atak 2 and 10 ton chopper last year, it got clarified it seems.
Thanks for the explanation.

 

[Path-Finder]

May Allah make it successful.

So, the US sanction on engines has become a blessing in the long run!!! Now, Pak can build her own "eco system" for choppers for both Army and Navy...

These thick sensors on side wings create drag ??

will the existing Ataks be upgraded?

It's a trade-off! No indigenous sensors, no survivability!!!! Hence, indigenous engines with customized throughputs...

will the existing Ataks be upgraded?

With indigenous engines and all other customizable sub-systems, sky is the limit....

 

[cabatli_53]

will the existing Ataks be upgraded?

I don’t suppose. It would cost too much and no need to do such an upgrade since The design of T-129 won’t allow to integrate what T-629 will have.

 

[bsruzm]

I can't wait to see TS-1400 to power those!

 

[CAN_TR]

I don’t suppose. It would cost too much and no need to do such an upgrade since The design of T-129 won’t allow to integrate what T-629 will have.

I've heard all current T129 will modernized to Faz2 version.

 

[cabatli_53]

I've heard all current T129 will modernized to Faz2 version.

129-Faz2 and 629 is different bro. Faz-2 contains integration of remaining electronic warfare sensors and Rest of the fleet (Faz-1) can easily be upgraded.

Pakistan should join this project
