Does the mockup have the rear ramp?
So will it use Western engine (Or ts-3000) rather than Ukrainian engine?
Is there any photo angle that the ramp behind it could be seen?
So should we expect some changes to current T925 mock-up design at least engine covers etc. Currently, it seems more live designs using western engines.TAI General Manager Kotil: "We signed a contract with the Presidency of Defense Industries for the General Directorate of Forestry. We are making 8 of these. They carry 4 tons of water. Therefore, it will be activated in 2026 against forest fires. In 2025, our ATAK-2 will be activated. 3 ATAK- We will deliver 2. This will come a year later. The Utility-2 helicopter uses the power system of the helicopter of ATAK-2. Its engine comes from Ukraine, it uses the same engine, it takes the transmissions, blades and controls from there as they are. That's why ATAK- It comes a year after 2."
Where is the TS-3000 ,why use these powerless(obsolete) Ukrainian engines?TAI General Manager Kotil: "We signed a contract with the Presidency of Defense Industries for the General Directorate of Forestry.

Isn't range a little bit short? It's greater than 200 but why it's written 200? Why not > 500 or more? For comparison S-92 has range of 1000 km.
