I wouldn't be surprised a bit if this deal went off cuz of our Uncle Sam !!!!Mann...what's so big to are about third parties. I heard that TEI and TAI also have full licence of export. Even if not, c'mon!!! Pakistan is a major non-NATO ally.

Sir the problem is that often Indian pressure results in we not getting weapons other than China Sir that is the problem
Indian pressure on Turkey ?
I don't think that it'd cause problems. Because "erdogan the magnificant" knows how to tell US/Israel to fuvck off. At least he can do that. Btw Azerbaijan is going to buy ATAK and Italy is also going to upgrade It's current Mangusta fleet to ATAK.
Indian pressure on Turkey ?
I am talking about other European countries I know turkey gives a dam about Indian pressure and they have sold us weapons in the past and INSHALLAH in future because its brother hood

ATAK team outlines progress of Turkey's T129 project, after first flight success
By Luca Peruzzi
Programme officials from the ATAK development team have provided further details of Turkey's T129 attack helicopter programme, as its first prototype has completed its debut flight.
Conducted at AgustaWestland's Vergiate facility in Italy on 28 September, the milestone event involved aircraft P1, the first of five prototypes to be produced under the Turkish Aerospace Industries-led programme.
Powered by LHTEC T800A-4 engines, the aircraft is one of three T129s to be built in a basic configuration, with the others to enter final assembly at Vergiate in March and July 2010, respectively.
Kits for the programme's two so-called Turkey Unique Configuration prototypes will be delivered to TAI in April and August 2010. These production-standard airframes will undergo assembly, integration, test and trials in Turkey.
Critical design reviews for both aircraft versions will be concluded in the second quarter of next year, and all five prototypes should fly by mid-2011. "The joint programme is on time, cost and scheduled programme achievements," says AgustaWestland chief executive Giuseppe Orsi.
Turkey has ordered 50 production T129s and has options on another 41. The aircraft will be equipped with Turkish-made systems including electronics, forward-looking infrared sensor, cockpit avionics and mission computer from Aselsan, and weapon systems from Roketsan.
TAI general director Muharrem Dortkasli says the first T129 ATAK will be handed over to the Turkish armed forces in the third quarter of 2013. Turkey will be responsible for international marketing and sales of the design, and industry sources say several countries are already evaluating the product, including Jordan and Pakistan.

Turkey Presses Ahead with its Attack Helicopter Project - The Jamestown Foundation
" The helicopter program is seen as one of the flagship projects for Turkey's flourishing defense industry, as it will involve not only the transfer of advanced technology, but also the integration of various domestically developed weapons and communications systems. Moreover, since Turkey's TAI will have the exclusive rights to market and sell the final product worldwide, the project is particularly attractive for Turkey. Through this and other ambitious national weapons programs, it aims to emerge as a major player in the global arms industry. Pakistan, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan have reportedly expressed their interest in purchasing the T-129 (Anadolu Ajansi, September 25). "
