But there is still possibility for this
to change depending on other factors, transport delays etc. Hopefully turkish aerospace industries
can keep up with this commitment.
The
country has ordered six of the
helicopters designed and developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) which
will be delivered gradually as of
december, said the Incumbent Chief of the Philippines Air Force Lieutenant General Alan Trio Paredes.
The philippines which
is buying six choppers worth
approximately 280 million dollars, tl
3.37 billion will be the first country
abroad to use the ATAK. The sale process gained momentum after
the united states approved export
licenses to turkey for the sale of the
helicopter, powered by an american engine
to the philippines in may.
The T-129 is a twin-engine, tandem-seat, multi-role all-weather attack helicopter
based on the Augusta A-129 Mangusta
platform and further developed in turkey
which is designed for advanced attack
and reconnaissance missions in hot, high
environments and adverse geographical
conditions, both day and night.
