Gökbey ambulance variant made its first flight. Unsure if this is a new build or a converted prototype. 3 T625s are supposed to be delivered to Health Ministry this year.
View attachment 79870

Looks like it's already kitted out for ambulance duties; very nice. Surely it took a very long while to decide on the internal layout; this is a good sign.

Yes. We better be producing 1000+ of these I am sure many turkic countries could benefit from this.
I'm sure TAI will be more than willing to produce that many if they place orders.

Looks beautiful. Why are delivery/production numbers to low in 2026? They should already have ramped up production by now.

If we be optimistic, we've only learn today that Army receiving their Gökbeys today. So there might be suprise deliveries on the upcoming days as well.

Also camo looks great.

No Production speed is really low. According to TAI they wanted to deliver all 20 Frames between 2025-2026 but until they have delivered less then 5.

A fitting farewell for the veteran PatPats. The stalwarts of our army are passing the torch to our indigenous helicopter.

I wish GOKBEY clear skies and safe sorties as it begins its noble service. Also look forward to seeing it in naval camouflage, guarding our seas in the near future.

Yes, the camouflage looks great. But for some reason, I think the glass area is too large, even considering the armor. After all, these are designed for ground forces, and therefore for war.

Military vehicles usually have a distinctive design, a bit brutal, I'd say. Sometimes, for example, attack aircraft even have a crocodile painted on the nose.
And this one looks quite attractive. I want to go up to it and pet it🙂
That's a bit unexpected.

Very interesting tidbit from Aselsan 2025 activity report:

Aselfir-400 serial production deliveries to last users for utility helicopters, Gökbey and AB-412 has commenced.

We will probably see a more full Gökbey configuration soon
