In my opinion, I don't think so, from my observation, Jordan buys arms that were used and proved their reliability.

It's AH-6 not MD-500. 18 are already on order.

I already replied, look, it's not easy for fans like ourselves to compare hells, we only can compare general specs while it's much more complicated than this. Nevertheless, I still think it's similar to the south African hell AH-2 which it's general specs are better,

But it's Turkey's first made one, and it's indeed a breakthrough.

It is stated by TAI officials that Jordan along with Pakistan are the first two countries which expressed their interests for Turkish attack copter at the beggining of T-129 Atak program. TAI proceeding talks with Pakistan to sell around 20 T-129 Atak and recent days, Pakistani defence minister was in TAI to check the curent statues of Atak program. It is not a surprize Jordanian king will check Atak program in brends and talk about likely deal.

Maybe, no one knows for sure.

Turkish army thinks the same, which is exactly why T129 is based on a proven platform.

It's AH-6 not MD-500. 18 are already on order.

Same sh.t. It's an armed transport, not a real attack helicopter.

I still think it's similar to the south African hell AH-2 which it's general specs are better,

Quite ironically, AH2 contended in second tender of the ATAK project and lost to T129
