After several months of technical snags, the Turkish Army has accepted the first T-129 attack helicopter coproduced by Tusas Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and AgustaWestland, the Italian-British helicopter maker.
The first batch of T-129 helicopters, dubbed the T-129A EDH, which Turkey acquired from AgustaWestland, had repeatedly failed acceptance tests since 2012 due to a mismatch with technical specifications stated in the contract.
