Turkey, Pakistan to sign a record deal to supply 30 ATAK helicopters

[-------]

The deal is yet to be signed i reckon. It will have to be done by the new Govt.

Perhaps, but we have the company that builds them officially say that they've sold them to Pakistan. Farnborough Airshow is coming up

Turkish Aerospace Industries have changed their name to Turkish Aerospace, btw.

With T-129 Atak deal, I think Pakistan pave the way to collaborate for Atak-2 as well. Selection of such big platforms between brothers actually means to select a roadway and Pakistan has selected Turkish roadway against China and US in attack helicopters so we may expect deeper collaborations.

T129 Atak at EFES 2018... The military drill.

Wow, that was great coordination

I think it depends on the system to system basis and also it is not advisable to keep all eggs in the same basket .. Pakistan signed sub deal and type-54 deal with China while Milgem/ADA, Atak T129 and sub upgrade with Turkey.. It is natural to think to that PA may go for Atak-II as well in future but I think it will depend on the deal. Since PA needs a lot of choppers, so I guess some local production facility may also be established where these are produced under license.
Z-10's were tested and found incompatible for our needs.

Pakistan has sent a signal that She may shift policy of defence with the recent deals with Turkey, from the short term buyer to the long term producer/developer.

It won't be suprise to see some other strategical and long term co-operations especially on land platforms after the ones on sea and air.

Besides, The deal includes Turkish munition package. Atak uses Roketsan developed Mizrak-U ATGM and Cirit semi active laser guided 2,75inch missiles.

Though not mentioned in current news if we recall previous report the deal worth 1.5 billion dollar.

It would be suprise to see the Heli-MILDAR(Millimetre Wave Radar) in the deal,and almost certain that Pakistan has showed interest for the Heli-MILDAR.

Pakistan's purchase ? I thought this was free from Turkey ! Because Pakistan don't have no money to pay $1.5 billion.

If Pakistan does have money, then she should better take care of the current account deficit rather than buying things she can't afford.

Wory about your own sht hole of a country
