TAI T929 ATAK 2

The TAI T929 ATAK 2 is a twin-engine heavy attack helicopter under development by Turkish Aerospace Industries for attack, electronic warfare and reconnaissance missions in all weather, by day and night. The Turkish Undersecretariat for Defence Industries started the heavy-class requirement in November 2018, comparable to the Boeing AH-64 Apache, and signed a development contract with TAI in February 2020. It reuses sub-systems and components from the T129 and the T625 Gökbey projects and answers a need of the Turkish Land Forces and a Turkish Navy requirement to operate from the amphibious assault ship TCG Anadolu. Features include tandem seats, an asymmetrical weapons bay, a nose-mounted FLIR turret and a 30 mm main gun, and it is to be powered by two turboshaft engines of 2,500 horsepower, with TV3-117 engines supplied by Motor Sich.
