The Info is from 2017 but I could not find anything about the CTS800-5 Engine and its Certification.

> Could be a potential replacement and also and Upgrade under the T129 ATAK FAZ-3. Additional 200HP could be really helpful at that stage.

Gokbkey Helicopter is continuing with it’s certification flight tests with 4 prototypes. Upon completion of the certification process , serial production will commence. To his effect, Mr Kotil had mentioned 2022 as the year, for the deliveries to start.
There will be 5 different versions of Gokbey; firefighting, ambulance, VIP, Cargo and Off-Shore.
Am I wrong in thinking that the Off-Shore version is a naval version that can be used in TCG Anadolu?

Wouldn't think so, unless they can get militarised engines into Gokbey.

What do you mean militarized, is it wielding a pistol or an assault rifle, wearing armor and all?
I guess militarized only means it can continue lubricating the necessary parts while also turning a somersault.

If you are going to ferry troops and cargo and not get involved in combat , why would you need militarised engines?
Besides , the prototypes are not fully representative of some of the future versions envisaged for Gokbey. When an engine that conforms to military needs is produced, off of the TS1400 (probably for T629) , that engine would suit the so called “Off-Shore” version to be operable from the deck of TCG Anadolu.

I think they refer to transport to offshore locations, platforms etc, not a deployment on ships.

The market leader at the moment is Airbus with their H175 with a 7.5 ton MTOW. Gokbey just meets 6 ton MTOW, to compete Gokbey has to be way cheaper.

Civiliian market is more then enough for Gokbey, no need to divert activities from perfecting already made prototype, i suppose only in Turkey 100 units of the gokbey can be selled right now, for military especially marine part, like you said you need heavier and sturdier option.
