Temel Kotil said yesterday at the delivery ceremony of the T129 to the Philippines, the following:

"We have reached an agreement for the sale of 6x T129 helicopters to a country. The name of the country will be announced on delivery."

Another confirmed client for the T129!

I hope the Brazilians are still interested in the bird.. They've tried it out extensively back in 2019.

The Kizilelma shown recently is a mockup correct? or is it a prototype?

Surface looks all one piece, not bolts/rivets anywhere even places where there must be some unless Turkey has figured out an entirely novel way of manufacturing aircraft. Which isn't the case.

Therefore mockup? or the photographs were too far to show the rivets and details.

Some say it's a mockup, others a prototype and holes will be cut into it. Baykar itself calls it a 'production development model'.

I don't know what it is. Time will tell.

BTW these ADKG OPV are basically Ada class corvettes but with a different weapons and sensors and a larger rear mast. The main radar is the MAR-D mk2 but the mast could easily support a Smart-S II or Cenk radar.

The Gokdeniz CIWS can be replaced by a RAM like CIWS (Gokdeniz-ER or Levent). The VLS (8) canisters can house Hisar-O+ or -RF. And there is still room on the sides of the main mast for an EW suit like AREAS-2(N/C).
