I thik I have linked the paragraphs from different websites already on this thread. Turks re positive that engine will complete its testing on the helicopters (utility first and then ATAK 129 in next 3 yers).So how many years in actual to be in production mode using TS1400 for atak 129
NOT so quick Hazrat, this engine has ONLY passed its first hurdle and that is manufacturing the trials and further testing will take years! so dont jump for joy yet.It depends on how fast they can place it in first helicopter and how fast that helicopter passes all the trials.
I am not jumping on anything. And not it has passes initial trials. Now the trials which are left are one when it would be integrated with helicopter. That is why it's handed over to TAI.NOT so quick Hazrat, this engine has ONLY passed its first hurdle and that is manufacturing the trials and further testing will take years! so dont jump for joy yet.
The integration of TS-1400 with Gokbey chopper will be completed ASAP. But, the real hurdle is passing the EU certification. Usually, it takes 3 months of constant tests, but for Turkey they extend it up to a year for they can't believe that the Turkish folks are surpassing them.....I am not jumping on anything.

let them bring new tests and add further test regimes and if not done already , increase the test parameters pass requirements for certificationThe integration of TS-1400 with Gokbey chopper will be completed ASAP.

Such threats (EW) are considered in design phase and then in deployment phase of the UAV. Every Army deploys its weapons according to its own Ops plans. Assets are not sent into battlefield blind and allowed to be jammed. Recon and Intel reports are taken into consideration.Besides what PanzerKiel mentioned you also have to take into account that in todays war theater there will be a significant amount of electromagnetic spectrum jamming which will have a profound effect on UAV especially if they are manual or semi autonomous. You cannot guarantee that you will be able to use a UAV in all theaters. Uptill now there have been no war fought between high tech adversaries which used UAV in conflict. (Azeri and Armenian example is a bad one as Armenians dont really have good jamming equipment).
There was news TS1400 was first fired last in 2019. Now TEI has delivered it to TAI its parent company that would mean all tests are done and now integration and aviation tests will be conducted on the utility aircraft platform.The footage of the "firing" of TS-1400 turbo-shaft engine...

More vidoes on TS-1400..
I don't think I said in my post that UAV are useless my point was that only having UAV is not the option as its operations cant be guaranteed in all cases hence attack helicopters are also required along with UAVs.Such threats (EW) are considered in design phase and then in deployment phase of the UAV. Every Army deploys its weapons according to its own Ops plans. Assets are not sent into battlefield blind and allowed to be jammed. Recon and Intel reports are taken into consideration.
So... we just wait for other countries to develop their capabilities while we do practically nothing in the meantime....
