T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

[Ahmet Pasha]

Don't you already have S70 sea hawk configuration??

It can be similar to Chinese Z-9 helis if there's a need for such purposes.

The medium weight helicopter should of more interest I think because right now old medium weights make up most of Pakistan tri services. Sea King, Mi17(some newer ones will keep soldiering on), Cougar, Puma. The Turk 10 ton medium weight helo seems to be poised to take on the likes of NH90 and AW101 etc and in different configurations it'll fit in nicely with all three of Pakistan services.
With lightweights such as ecureuils forming the periphery.
And we don't have any heavy lifts. Which honestly we should even in small squadron number.

Turkey really is reaping the fruit of investing in Italian aviation companies like AW(Leonardo) and Textron

I think Pakistan should also try doing same with Ukrainian firms for example.

@Bilal Khan (Quwa) here is Pak's opportunity to get into a utility and an attack helicopter program by partnering with Turkey.

Textron is a US company

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Yeah I thought they were offering Hurjet to USAF as NG fighter trainer.
Now come to think of it it was Sierra Nevada and the one that won out in the Freedom Trainer programme was Boeing's pitch.

Textron is a US company

Using the same infrastructure as Atak 2, which will be heavy class. It makes its first flight like 2023-2024.
