Η Πολεμική Αεροπορία των Φιλιππίνων (PAF TWG) απέρριψε ως επιλογή της το επιθετικό ελικόπτερο T129B ATAK της ΤΑΙ, λόγω της αδυναμίας της Τουρκίας να επιβεβαιώσει την ικανότητά της να εισάγει και να εφοδιάσει με κινητήρες και αεροηλεκτρονικά από τις ΗΠΑ και το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο τα Επιθετικά της Ελικόπτερα που ήταν προς εξαγωγή
MaxDefense has finally got confirmation that the Philippine Air Force’s Technical Working Group (TWG) for the Attack Helicopter Acquisition Project has finally dropped the TAI T129B ATAK attack helicopter as its choice. This is due to Turkey’s failure to confirm their ability to import engines and avionics from the US and UK to allow manufacture and support of the helicopters.
Remember a few weeks ago MaxDefense mentioned that the PAF has imposed a deadline for TAI, and it now appears that the deadline came to pass.
The PAF TWG has selected an American helicopter to replace it after a re-evaluation was made. Take note that there are 3 American helicopter models that are being offered to the PAF. But we’ll not disclose yet the selected model. ?
But apparently there is resistance from some officials in the DND, which lead to suspicions. Let’s see if the end user (PAF), the selected proponent, and the US government can push the DND to drop the TAI T129B ATAK.
