TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK – Fotod ja videod

2007 TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK is a twin-engine, tandem seat, multi-role, all-weather attack helicopter based on the Agusta A129 Mangusta platform. The T129 was developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) with partner AgustaWestland. The helicopter is designed for advanced attack and reconnaissance missions in hot and high environments and rough geography in both day and night conditions. The ATAK programme was begun to meet the Turkish Armed Forces’ requirements for an attack and tactical reconnaissance helicopter. The T129 is the result of the integration of Turkish-developed avionics, airframe modifications, and weapon systems onto the AgustaWestland A129 airframe, with upgraded engines, transmission and rotor blades. It is in use by the Turkish Army and other services including the Turkish Gendarmerie.

TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK on kaasaegne ründekopter, mille töötasid ühiselt välja Türgi ja Itaalia. See põhineb Agusta A129 Mangusta platvormil, kuid on oluliselt paranenud avioonika, relvade, jõudluse ja ellujäämise osas. T129 võib teostada relvastatud luure- ja rünnakumissioone erinevates ilmastikutingimustes ja maastikutüüpides nii päeval kui öösel.
It has a tandem cockpit for two pilots, a five-blade main rotor and a four-blade tail rotor. It is powered by two LHTEC CTS800-4N turboshaft engines that provide high power and reliability. The T129 can carry a variety of weapons, including rockets, missiles, cannons and machine guns. It can also integrate with Turkish-made systems such as MILDAR millimeter wave radar and UMTAS anti-tank missiles. The T129 has been in service with the Turkish Army since 2014, and has also been exported to other countries such as Pakistan and the Philippines.
