Orka is planned to weigh 220kg. Those stub wings can handle that weight. That tracks with all other light weight naval helicopters as well.

In long term, Gökbey not only isn't ready but it isn't even enough and T925 exist only on paper yet, we can't wait for them. We should've made a deal for AgustWestland's Merlin and AW149 ages ago and started production already at least we could've had 8 and 15 tonne helicopters (for TF2000) in...

In case y'all are worried about weight, AW159 which is literally in the same weight class with the same type of engines can comfortably carry two torpedoes or even 20 Martlet missiles

Foreign certification of aircraft is an arduous process which may not end up successful as the certifying bodies are institutions of established aircraft manufacturing countries. Every new aircraft they certify will take away business from them. It is a conflict of interests and they may drag the process forever asking for harder and harder specs and if you are not a capable hardy company you give up. China is up to getting their passenger planes certified and who knows how it will end.

57 additional units ordered by the TR Navy are going to be navalised versions. They will have to be redesigned and produced in accordance with certain specifications whereby the helicopter, its engines and avionics will be resistant to sea water and salt. Also due to having to land on ships that are bopping up and down, helicopter’s super structure and landing gears will have to be more robust, rotor blades to be foldable.
So as well as Tusas, TEI too will have to redesign the engines to be suitable for military use and sea worthy.
NB
These 57 units need not to be subjected to the same certification conditions as the civilian use helicopters.
