Seems like we will see Atak 2 first. Im burning to see a live picture of it

i hope with 30mm gun.

i hope with 30mm gun.

Your dreams are unlikely to come true
30x113mm caliber gun which belongs to Apache wouldnt be prefered by Turkey if you asked me.
This caliber is very rare, americans use even ammo from depleted uranium.Our army would adhere with 20mm.Germans Tigers even dont have autocannon.
İ expect from ATAK 2 more ammo capacity with more armour, electronics and radar .

Translated from Turkish by Microsoft
SSM Helicopter Apartment President Huseyin Avsar in 2017, gave Roportaja Gore, equipped with Aselsan avionics, the T-70 general purpose helicopter, the first tip must be made in March 2018. @SavunmaSanayii @TUSASTAI

Am I the only one who thinks that this heli looks like Skorsky S70 too much?

Is it produced under licence?

i know they wont do such a change but i want it We all know ATAK cant do much damage against a good armor. But its good for pkk/isis, Mızrak and Cirit can do the hard work. But we need +1000 20mm ammo for sure.

Just can't wait to see those beauties flying under a Turkish flag towards their new home...

 

[egolfs]

To be honest, I had always looked forward to F-35s joining the Turkish air force (THK) but with all the political problems that now exist between the U.S. and Turkey, it worries me to think that Turkey will be reliant on a plane that the U.S. might be able to disable with just a "flick of a switch".

Can't shake the feeling this has been done as a big fat middle finger to the greeks and armenians in the US who have been crying for months now because we are buying F-35s.

They will literally shit their pants when the first F35Bs take of from Anadolu.


lol they called the F-35 a 4th Gen fighter in the article. Man Turkish mainstream media is so bad.
