@sangyuni96 A129 is Italian version.

Turkiye bought all rights of T129 and it is using Turkish made missiles, Turkish battle system and Turkish softwares.

Because software is important to keep codes during battle.

T129 has only Italian design body but all weapons and engines are different.

T129 use same engines with COMANCHE which is Rolls Royce engine. 2 × LHTEC CTS800-4A turboshaft, 1,014 kW (1,361 shp) each

A129 has poor engines.

T129 is made in Turkiye in Ankara.

Turks produced first AIRCRAFTS in 1938 means you cant find them in internet, we have their models and technical drawings, we sold them to CANADA and they were wooden body aircrafts... They were old aircrafts...

Today TURKS produced unmanned drone ANKA, Turna, and 2500 km ranged rockets...

We have research and development but we dont produce all projects...

We produce them according to orders and today USA is the biggest aircraft and defence industry producer...This is normal

MaşAllah Allah Esirgesin. Rabbim ordumuza Zeval vermesin

@Hiflyable

Today Turkiye attends global projects such as F35 jet Projects and Turkiye invested more than 200 million dollars to research and development phase...

USA or Europe need partners such as Turkiye, China, Japan for new products...

Production of new aircrafts and new weapons have huge budgets...

So, Only one nation cant complete all project themself... This is not simple work as you told...

[00thelastottoman00]

@Hiflyable No not simple like that, TURKS designed all parts and body, lots of other parts, missiles, guns, radar system, battle system and all softwares are Turkish made and licensed by TURKS. NONE OF THEM are Italian and nobody knows their details..

[Hiflyable]

@00thelastottoman00 Diffrent engines doesnt make different aircraft, many aircrafts like Boeing 767 can fly with 4 different type of engines . All in all these engines aren't made by turks. It's like me buying Intel core i5 processor + Nvidia graphic card and saying ,,I have made a computer'' .

[00thelastottoman00]

@Hiflyable

T129 is not A129 because engines and battle systems are totally different and it is license under Turkish TAI company, this means only TURKS have right to go market with this helicopter and only Turks can produce it...

[00thelastottoman00]

@Hiflyable

Yes TURKEY produced unmanned drone ANKA and we produced first aircrafts in 1938 and they called NU D.36 and NU D.38 and we sold them to CANADA, than Turkish government closed Factory due to economic reasons and now it produce Turkish made trucks...

Today we produce our own training planes and simulator systems...

If you want to see Turkish industry please search on your own because we have a huge history about production and design...

@00thelastottoman00 Couldn't you just say ,,yes'' without big words about nothing ? It is just a Turkish version of A129. Is there any plane/helicopter designed in Turkey ?
