Yeah, that's an S-70 on steroids.
Bro, how can you call it on steroids?
it may look like it. But it hasn’t even got the engine of S70 in it.
Heck! It hasn’t got any engine at the moment! The Ukranian engine is far from meeting its needs, even if they can obtain it.
As far as I can see, it is an empty shell.
When they announce that a version of T700 engine with 2200+HP power is going to propel it, or TEI has developed a TS3000, then we can talk about an “on steroids” heli.
They have been showing us a shell of a T-925 for quite a few fairs now.

" Atotal of 57 GÖKBEY helicopters will be delivered to the Turkish Gendarmerie, Police, Land and Air Forces, Coast Guard, and Naval Forces."
What i dont like is that branches of Tuekiye goverment take order from those ! All T129 helicopters of jandarma, police shold be given to land forces or Land forces should order more T 129 . Now same with Gökbeys 😡😡😡
What our armies gonna do with just 30 new helicopters ?!
Our army is second largest NATO with 4 different land armies and all orders should be 200 helicopters .
30 helicopter order is a order for bullgaria , lithuania type country not Turkiye

Police and Gendarme undertake their own COIN operations.

This is not the only or the last order for T625. Others will follow in time. For KKK, it will first replace UH-1s of which some 70+ should be in service.

Thats just the first order so the company has the asurance of the goverment that they will purchase it also gökbey orders for TAF will most likely be above 200 replacing older Hueys as well as blackhawks + new

I hope they order something between 150 and 200 of these the more they order the better but this seems more realistic as some 70 have already been ordered. T925 will be at least 120 depending if army wants to replace their older cougars and Blackhawks
