T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

[UkroTurk]

The problem is recoil. The more powerful ammunition , the more recoil which ruins helicopters flight.
That's why 30mm ammos with low velocity are used in Apache.
Even Germans improved new 30mm recoiless gun and ammo for their Euro- Tiger helicopters.They
This gun is also used on Weisel land vehicles.

Where's the Radar ?

Must be on the top but that thing not looks like MMW radar to compare apache one. If our Mildar MMW size is small like that, it would be really nice.

 

[Pax Ottomana]

I think the idea is to move away from MMW radar in favor of AESA radar, which is a lot smaller and lighter, has no moving parts and can be embedded into the hull itself in different locations to provide 360 degree coverage.

Aselsan is progressing fast in AESA technology.

Is that a secondary flir under Atak-2, close to the tail? Or is that weather radar?

 

[Pax Ottomana]

Looks like strobe light to me @OguzSenturk

 

[OguzSenturk]

^^ Nah, it's far way bigger than supposed strobe light.

edit: or maybe its for IFF or some other kind antenna? I don't really know.

It looks like a multi-directional strobe light. There are LEDs facing left, right, forward, back, and below.

We already saw prototype of DIRCM, then Tubitak removed it from their website

@Combat-Master Would you say that DIRCM will replace tradtional flares altogether or will it be used in tandem with flares?
