There are a number of reasons why you see it that way. The major difference is the glossy state of the Gökbey prototype. T-929 has a matt finish. All in all I didn't spot major issues with the build quality of the first prototype. The majority of the parts are single piece composites regardless.

Translation ??
Basicly he talked about ;
-He talked about Gökbey and how it is nationalized its engine and transmission and and how important that is for the Turkish Weapons Industry,
-T70 project might not be fully implemented because of the licencing issue. But because of our nationalized projects it will be compansated in the long turn.
-T-129 exported to Nigeria and Philipines and philippines wants to buy 6 more T-129. Also USA still refuses to sell necessary parts for the T-129 to Pakistan. If Pakistan could wait for the T-629 (Nationalized Version of the T-129) we would sell them or When Atak-II enters production they might go for Atak-II.

Selling Atak2 to such a volatile Country isn't the best idea, I guess.
On contrary, this is absolutely necessary. Okay, what is really needed for Pakistan is a professional army focused solely on military service and cleared of corrupt elements. However, this army will also need smart&high firepower. Pakistan must be politically stable or she will be a problem for everyone, including India.

Meh... I don't think a bunch of Attack helicopters will save a Country from internal conflict... In the end, the Turkish MIC will do whatever it wants.
I'm just not a fan of selling them such things right now.

I agree attack helicopters are not strategic assets. Should we sell Anka-3 we can debate this but selling Atak-2 should be no problem.

With TAI selecting a rear output gas turbine engine, I think it's safe to assume that the current 10ton utility helicopter design will change dramatically due to it.

May see a configuration similar to French super puma,
