I asked.
But there is a guy on milgem Corvette thread who said that TAI has started procedurement of 2 pakistani t129. Engine issue has been resolved.

The TS1400 can be put into service as early as 2021.
It is unnecessary to wait for an earlier time.
And yep, Turkey can make engine.

They are using it to replace their black hawk engines

No, you're giving false information.

Under the scope of H-70 / T-70(new gen blackhawks): T700-TEI-701D turboshaft engine is produced under GE license. https://www.tei.com.tr/detay/turkish-utility-helicopter-program-tuhp2

Project that are being mentioned above, completly different program which is being developed for Turkey's indigenous helicopter programs. Also known as TS1400 and being developed for Atak-2 and 12t MTOW utulity helicopter program. https://www.tei.com.tr/detay/projects/turbosaft-motor-gelistirme-projesi

The TS1400's power output belongs in the T129/T625 class. Turkey will develop another -- higher output -- engine family using what it learned from the TS1400, but that's a different (and later) project.

 

[Affanakad0t.]

I think you mean that.

Sorry. My bad

I think you mean that.

Yes. My bad

 

[Ark_Angel]

wow its news for me sir can you shear more info of that choppers ?

T0 still not established. Re-Export License still stuck with the US DoD for Pakistani T-129s. During the Tender Turks had committed that the American Engine would not become an issue. However till date, T0 has not been established. We won't be seeing ATAKs in Pakistani skies soon. Otherwise as per the Contract the Turks had to Divert the first four Helis from their Own Production line to PAA which were to be used for Training and familiarisation by their Pakistani Counterparts.

Then lets go back to our best buddy

 

[CHI RULES]

I don't know, brother. This issue is also a bit related to the engine import problem. As you know, the US has threatened to block importing LHTEC engines into Pakistan. As far as I know Pakistan solved the problem. In this case, we can foresee the range 2020-2021 for initial deliveries.

But I want to repeat this: Pakistan's first two helicopters are currently in production line.

Sir it means that if production is started so one or another way the engine issue is resolved.
