I think this is latest scaled model and hope they bring this to Teknofest. Kotil says that the helicopter will have a very large volume and a rear ramp, and that jeeps will be able to be quickly loaded and unloaded from the helicopter. He is probably referring to a light military all-terrain vehicle, but I think what is meant here is not ATV-style vehicles. Not only could this indicate a very good interior volume in its class, but it could also indicate that the SSB is preparing a special-purpose very light vehicle project of this type in another corner.

That sounds less like a Black Hawk, more like a MH-53 Super Stallion. 😲
Eat your heart out, Bidenopoulos!
ATAK 2 will have 1.5 ton payload capacity.
On par with Apache. And its navalized! Nice!

I think the helicopter's rear ramp width and interior volume dimensions have not yet been announced. However, my impression from the descriptions is that it will be quite ambitious. The ability to carry a 3/3.5-ton light military off-road vehicle internally will provide a great tactical advantage. There is no doubt that we will have a very flexible and customizable platform for the needs of both the navy and the army.

This large internal volume and lifting capacity will also enable the development of an airborne control and early warning helicopter for TCG Anadolu on an indigenous platform.

Think less of a Cobra and more like an armored UTV sized vehicle or Engerek, I think, size wise. Do we even have a 2-3 ton vehicle? Now, what would really be interesting is if it could carry a Boran 105mm gun inside, as well as one on the outside. I think too early to guess anything.

To add, compared to the first CAD image we got, windows look so much different. I don't know if that's because of the bad craftsmanship on the modeler's end or intentional.

Model doesn't seem good in general. Proportions are very odd. I gues it indeed is due to bad craftmanship.

Or it could be the angle.

Guys, those design changes ain't done yet for T925 (as much as my heart wants them to be right now hehe). But I am sure they will keep tight with this one as imports are synonymous with the word "doubt". It will be highly advantageous in the area of transport/logistics compared to Seahawks thanks to larger internal space and things like ramp contributing to transport capabilities. Can say that we will have a smaller AW101 Merlin in our hands.

Should we believe you or TEI CEO Mr Temel Kotil, we know the answer.

Kotil is not what to TAI what Selçuk is to Baykar. He's not an engineer, he's a director, an organizer if you will.
As we do not yet have a full size mockup, everything about T925 is subject to change. That will be the same even after the mockup as we've seen with MMU.

Temel Kotil is a well respected engineer 😉
