Interesting, to say the least...

Whaaattt? Why we haven't seen any more image after that ironbird flight of it?
This bird is slowly turning into a self own machine for TAI.
Don't know about 625 but 2 army T129s did a small show.
Schrödinger's Gökbey continues to be delivered and not delivered.Demiroğlu, who provided information about the delivery program of Turkey's first indigenous helicopter, GÖKBEY, recalled that GÖKBEY performed its "Victory Flight" on August 30. He stated, "We had actually planned our delivery for that time, but due to some delays in tests, we hope to complete our tests and make our deliveries within October. The delays were related to the documentation work for the tests, specifically the certification processes. We expect to see that delivery sometime this month, possibly on October 29 or even earlier."

They understood the sentence "2 atak helicopters will come" as "Atak2 will come" ya
dreams Atak2 but realities Atak ahah
It was published in 2021.
Not much of a competitor to be honest.
I think you'll agree with me in saying a Malaysia that have LAH will be less likely to procure an armed T625 and will be more likely to procure the future LUH and Surion over T625 and T925.

It would have been a mistake not to produce an AW159 equivalent helicopter at home when the Navy's need for helicopters was so acute and the production line for the T-625 was already set up. An AW159 equivalent helicopter may not provide maximum capability, but it can fill the urgent gap until the heavy class navy helicopter arrives, which can be developed as a battlefield utility helicopter and a wide range of system integration can be attempted.Looks like you guys waited for me to deliver the news!
Finally after years of delay, first T625 was officially, fully delivered to gendarme.
4 prototypes completed 1500 flight hours of tests to date.
Starting from 2025, "two additional GÖKBEYs will be delivered to the Gendarmerie, seven to the Land Forces, four to the Air Force, three to the Police Force and three to the Coast Guard, bringing the total number of deliveries to 20. On the other hand, 3 GÖKBEY Air Ambulances will be delivered to the Ministry of Health in 2026."
This first phase of 23 helicopters will be completed in 2026, so almost one a month. We know 3 T625s are already built and were tested but only one was delivered today, and per SSist other two will be delivered in 2025. I wonder what's the reason for that calendar.
"TAI continues its efforts to reach a production capacity of four GÖKBEYs per month. GÖKBEY is expected to be delivered with indigenous engines by 2027."
GÖKBEY helikopteri Jandarma envanterinde: Bir ilk
TUSAŞ, ilk GÖKBEY Genel Maksat Helikopteri’ni Jandarma Genel Komutanlığı’na teslim etti. Düzenlenen törene, Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan da katıldı.
As mentioned by SSist, no local engine deliveries will be made for the first phase and TS1400 will apparently continue its tests. "T625 with local engines are expected after 2028..."
What's most surprising was this for me however. I wonder if it was a gaffe by Erdoğan. "Plans are underway for the serial production of an additional 57 GÖKBEY helicopters for the needs of the Turkish Naval Forces Command." Should we expect a navalized ASW specialized T625? I wish!
