T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

I notice one thing bad, if I'm not wrong the smoke from the gun obstructs the view of the camera when firing. Is that wrong?

Also, is Turkey developing a small recon/very light attack heli like the Ah-6?

it was a itu rotam dpt project. Actually idea was good. Its for a development program for aeronautics in Turkey. Nearly 40 50 people has worked there and been a part of it. But i think only %5 10 actually working in aerospace industry. Half of them nearly abroad. But when i was working there there was no strong motivation due to very bad planning of project and bad decisions. So main problem is rotor system. It is non articulated flex type but not proven concept and it was only an advise of mad retired usa expert who has been in skorsky since begining.
Rotor idea was shit and nobody wants to go further. It was a sort of semi organic rotor. Wood and epoxy. :)

Does the T-129 have any Anti-Radiation missile like AGM-122 sidearm? The AGM-122 Sidearm was an American air-to-surface anti-radiation missile produced between 1986 and 1990. Not as capable as newer anti-radiation missiles, they were cheaper and lighter in weight allowing more versatile deployment. T-129 could perform SEAD roles.

Turkey have Akbaba called an anti - radiation missile project, but we do not have more information. (Probably for aircraft) T129 can promote any American/NATO missile interface, catalog does not just consist of the UMTAS/Lumtas and Cirit.
