The Ministry of National Defense pressed the button for the sale of the ATAK helicopter produced by TAİ with indigenous facilities to Pakistan. If the tests succeed, the war helicopters will be sold to Islamabad.
The T129 ATAK helicopter was sent to Pakistan for trial purposes.
According to the information obtained from MSB(Defence Ministry) officials, the ATAK helicopter, which made its first flight on 17 August 2011 and delivered to the TSK on April 22, 2014, will be exported to this country if it successfully passes the testing process in Pakistan. Thus, for the first time in the Republican history, Turkey will sell top-level military vehicles to another country. Turkey is expected to complete the sales process, which will take domestic arms production one step further.
