T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

[LegionnairE]

dudes can you tell me if T-129 could used on helicopter carrier ?? what anti ship missile do you have ? do we can fire it from T-129 ?

1) yes, why not
2) we have harpoons, exocets, and we're developing atmaca
3) no, anti ship missiles are simply too heavy for attack helicopters

T129 won't have a naval use, it's purpose on the LHD will be to provide CAS for amphibious landing.

From December 2011 to today, Atak flew 3200+ hours. During flights, Following munitions were fired.

-42000 (20mm gun)
-4800 (70mm rocket)
-600 Flare

That's what we call as trials...

I don't think so...

 

[[TR]AHMET]

I don't think so...

if not whole remain helos must accept by land forces in a weeks...

as you know aselflir 300t little bit heavy, if t129 carry CATS Flirs it will be more stable...

i think Standarts vesion of T-129 will carry CATS Flirs...

IMO if TAI try to replace ASELFLIR 300T with CATS they should configure T-129 again... If they remove 300T from T-129 i think there will occure balance & weight problems...

But as you mentioned standart T-129Bs may have CATS... And then when they upgrade these T-129 EDHs to T-129N standarts they can replace 300Ts with CATS...

This is my opinion...

BTW i don't know clearly about if some of them will stay as EDH and will be T-129A, T-129B1, T-129B2...

How many T-129A, how many T-129B and how many T-129B2 is being planned for our army's inventory...

If anyone know that can he englihten us ?...

Maybe @cabatli_53 ?

The T-129 was heavier in the front due to the 300T ,so the best thing to do would be to change to the CATS.
The weight issue could be solved.

 

[Worf]

I think this is the 10th time we heard the same news. Hopefully this one is correct.

However there was/is a vibration problem which caused (or is causing) a decrease in accuracy of the cannon.
I'm using past and present tense because I think they have not solved that problem fully.

Deliveries starting so i think there is no problem about weight abd balance problem...

But if they replace 300T with lighter CATS there will occure balance problem...

No,there was allready a balance problem because of the front(300t+gun)being to heavy,they tried adding weight to the back which made the T-129 to heavy.
So,this way they could have solved that problem.

Sure i want CATS rather then 300T... If they do that T-129 will have more payload but i don't think there will be 300T on 9 T-129 EDH... As i mentioned before CATS can be mounted on them while they are upgrading EDHs to standart T-129 configuration...
