Pakistan Extends Date for Delivery of T129 Atak Helicopters
Pakistan has agreed to extend the deadline for the delivery of 30 T129 ATAK attack helicopters by one year, to allow Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) to work around a US veto on the re-export of their turboshaft engines. In 2018, TAI signed a $1.5 billion contract to provide an initial batch of 30 T129 ATAK attack helicopters to Pakistan, assuming the US government would allow the re-export of their US-made LHTEC T800-4A turboshaft engines. This was declined by US. TAI is now looking to Tusas Engine Industries, its sister company, to develop a new, indigenous engine to replace the T800. The first production engines are expected to be available in 2025, which will considerably exceed the one-year extension accepted by Pakistan.
