Didn't Turkey plan a total of around 120 T129s? I also think it is enough with attack helicopters, especially considering that T929 is around the corner.
Good to see that TAI is also seeing increased demand despite being overshadowed with TB2, Akinci and MIUS these days. ANKA and Aksungur are formidable platforms yet maybe too expensive for most of Turkey's customers.
A glass fiber factory was recently opened. The Factory will satisfy 60% of Turkey's domestic demand. Current demand is currently exclusively fulfilled by imports.
Turkey has also considerably stepped up UCAV strikes. One could say that Turkey has already started a low intensity campaign to deplete terrorist morale and power.
That's why I said "If". TSK needs to make a statement. Iraq's government is already blaming Turkey. This is nothing short of a massacre. Dozens killed. Those who play their death off as a joke are worse than PKK themselves.
Tomorrow is the 20th of July. The day when Operation Atilla was started to liberate Cyprus. Would be awesome if Turkey launched the operation tonight. Several convoys are already entering Syria as we speak.
Turkey brought in a huge convoy.
Turkey always wait till nightfall before moving troops, well-knowing that PKK, Assad and Russia is blind at night. However, syrians always film them and compromise opsec.
Erdogan's end-july trip to south america has been cancelled. Seems that there is a decisive battle looming in Syria. Rebels are preparing on all fronts incl. Idlib.
Turkey needs to finish the Syrian problem once and for all.
