I have dream...to see a T70 kitted out like this 160th MH-60M. I don't even know what half of them are.

Here is details of what @Sanchez meant.

The plot must feel like you're driving a spaceship

I guess in Black Sea or Mediterranean use helicopters is not as difficult as the high sea?

Lol.

Atak-2 on the assembly line. Another footage that was released recently but is in reality quite dated.

Atak! The one that drains the swamp.

Interesting that the third JNGK T625 is yet to see the sunlight. And 2 months left until end of the year.

Can you link me for the first one being delivered to JNGK? We know that one was sent to a JNGK base back in may for some tests but im not sure it was actually given to them. It was to be delivered in August.

According to tweet Gökbey is conducting tests using Motor Sich engine TV3-117.

I thought it was our own engine TS-1400… how disappointing if it’s not our own engine.

Gökbey can't use the TV3-117, tweet is about T-925

That Engine is 2200+ HP class engine. It is too big for Gokbey.
Gokbey either uses a pair of Honeywell LHtec 800 or TS1400.
Motor Sich engine will be an over kill and wouldn’t fit in to Gokbey anyway.
Gokbey’s engine compartment is designed to accommodate either TS1400 or LHtec.

any news on new deliveries for T-70 ? I believe they were to be delivered in high numbers (12+) this year as the license is coming to an end yet the last delivery i can remember was the navy blue T-70 for the air force early this year.

they are the workhorse of our army , they are used in all applications from firefighting to transfering sick civilians to hospital or supplying civilians with food and water . as the country is prone to natural disasters specifically earthquakes these are vital

It really does feel like tusaş is slacking or having problems with serial production . I really hope they are delivering them without publically announcing them and not producing them at this rate . it was announced that 12 would be produced this year , we are in november and İ believe only 3 have been produced ... please do prove me wrong

latest delivery - 12 January for Air Force
