80th ATAK helicopter on the production line
Impressive how they've added more into the T129B-PII with minimal alterations to the airframe.
80th ATAK helicopter on the production line
According to Mr. Kotil's latest video, ATAK no.57 was delivered in 2020.
It could be working on 19 ATAK's at any moment. You can count for yourself here:TAI is probably working on multiple ATAKs at the moment, let's say six. That still leaves 16 unaccounted for.
Thanks bro!It could be working on 19 ATAK's at any moment. You can count for yourself here:
Also, it seems that this Atak has already passed through several building/integration 'stations' and there are thus Atak's with a higher number than 80.
I am sure if you search for Ethem Sancak and Altay you can find the interview where he himself mentions the price for Altay.you just jump to say price of missiles or tanks that totally wrong.. come on... show me a single place where officially were told about the price of Altay or American one? now you talk about Atmaca price? stop it..
A total of 109 T70 Helicopters will be manufactured and delivered to Turkish Land Forces, Turkish Air Forces, General Command of Gendarmerie, Special Forces, Turkish National Police and Directorate of Forestry during next 10 years.
You mean 0.9 per month.
Exactly 4 years ago, the 19th T-129 was delivered to the Turkish armed forces. On 25th of June 2020 the 57th T-129 was delivered. On average 0.9 T-129 are being delivered per year with almost 11 per year (10.85). This also means that currently around 63 T-129 are in Turkish service.
I’m actually sorry to hear that. It means we don’t have ressources to keep two important projects running on schedule.As a result of prioritising the TF-X, GÖKBEY heli is going to be delayed for a year.

But you have to understand that we're just very new at this scene. It's true that we've gleaned a lot from licence manufacturing but we're not even at the level of Poland in terms of helicopters and a 5th Gen stealth fighter is no joke.I’m actually sorry to hear that. It means we don’t have ressources to keep two important projects running on schedule.

They have been on schedule but one of them is being put on expedited schedule which requires engineering time to be shifted between the too. This is actually a happy situation that shows the agility of our engineering work force. I am very happy too see the TFX program being expedited, I wish more engineers can be pulled from low priority projects into the MMU project which can further speed the project up. Who needs a civilian helicopter when everything is about the military nowadays after all.I’m actually sorry to hear that.

TAI is planning to have around 10000 engineers and totally 20000 employees in 2028. Today, TAI is still taking qualified engineers (1000-1500/year)and charging them for these big scale programs. This is a process and we are in a critical timeline at present. Some projects have very special meaning and importance and Army is requesting them with urgent codes so transferring matured engineers for TFX is crucial in this period.

There is only a short 26 month lead time to the roll out of the MMU, every effort must be put towards polishing up this plane before it is built. Gökbey serial production being postponed by a year has nothing to lose for us in terms of experience as we have already completed the development of this helicopter and we have been supplying main parts of the very similar Italian AW139 helicopter.I do understand that we've had to move resources to more urgent projects. What's I'm slightly puzzled by is that we're dropping progress for MMU. We've known this would happen ever since we decided to get the S400, and our progress on MMU was either dependent on TS1400 or UK (BMC dropping out of the MMU program opened up for clotted cooperation).
I believe that all our projects are urgent, but whilst I understand that helicopter can be slightly slower because we have Atak129, and we have an armada of TB2 to support our SOF. I still think the Gökbey and Atak2 is just as important not because of the PR value, but the knowledge and experience gained on successful delivery to TSK.
