T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

[cabatli_53]

It looks like a pod for your Cirits. If its true it must be handle more missile than 4. Maybe same like hydra pods capacity.

Cirits can't be launched from standart pods. It has a special canister which is being installed inside of it. I mean Cirit is not a 2,75inch guidance kit like many other rivals being under development phase. It is a completely new and advanced missile system which requires special launchers to be provided by Roketsan.

DAGR missiles have similar launchers like Roketsan designed.

I tried to compare helicopters based on their specifications..
As t129 is smaller in weight and dimensions from z-10, and got even little bit stronger engine, i simply dont understand how z-10 can climbing rate might be higher?
on the other hand, if we compare it with AH-1Z Viper, which they are almost at the same weight, AH-1Z use T700 engine(which also Apache use) that is way stronger. But, looks like, Z-10 climb faster than AH-1Z, which is im looking an answer for..
as half of the weight of Z-10, T129 can be loaded more weapons( check empty and max take of weights)..
EIther Turkey hide its specification, or somebody is lying over here!!

T-129 is much better than Z-10 at almost every aspects. Don't believe on What Chinese members typed on Wiki. Claiming Z-10 (1000kw + 8+ tonnes MTOW) provide better performance than T129 (1014kw + 5 tonnes MTOW) is like refusing all physical rules Human-being reached until now...

I agree. Although not an expert but T-129 is derived from better pool of technologies as its a derivative of Mangusta helicopter. Whereas Z-10 is a new platform.

Is that helmet Thales TopOwl?

Aselsan AVCI.

For first units, Aselsan received help from Thales until domestic helmet sight unit is developed.

The helmet-mounted sighting system, based on the Thales Top Owl system, incorporates a locally developed optical head-tracking system and LCD displays instead of CRTs.

Yes most probably this is Super Cobra. I think this hole is above 20 mm gun in the first pic.
