So this means that ATAK project is finished. As far as I know we have planed to produce 51 ATAK's

Are you sure, if I remember corectly TAF ordered 59, and gendermerie 18?

Plus the option of more T129 if needed. You are using T129 in Turkey, Syria and Iraq right now. I think you will need more.

Within the scope of the Turkish ATAK Program, a total of 91 (59 + 32 optional) T129 ATAK Helicopters will be delivered to Turkish Land Forces and 27 (24 + 3 optional) T129 ATAK Helicopters will be delivered to Ministry of Interior.

Turkish Land Forces should constrain themselves to 59. +32 would be overkill, especially considering the introduction of ATAK II in the foreseeable future.

Also, how many have been lost to accidents/enemy fire?

One.

We can't put restrictions on the ones we want + optionals. atm we're too reliant on foreign engine, so it's better to have them in our inventory than lacking them. Until we build them with our own domestic engine, we're still vulnerable.
