It look like hugely optimised with big access panels and modular fuselage for parts to be easily accessible and dismantled. It look like it's a prototype to test all subsystem and the shape of it will probably change in the final product. The giant empty volume behind the second seat is astonishing, It will certainly be filled in the final product. A fuel tank will go there probably.

So they did prematurely assembled a prototype for political purposes.

Meh... who cares at this moment? One aircraft more or less isn't going to make or break the elections for Erdogan.

Erdogan is going to politicize every single technical achievement. All projects (defense industry or not) getting concluded just 1-2 months before the election is not a coincidence. TOGG, natural gas extraction, first fueling of the Akkuyu NPP, MMU unveiling, Altay re-appearing, etc...

According to the information obtained by SavunmaSanayiST.com; The first firing tests of the GÖKDEMİR Air Defense System, the land-based air defense version of the GÖKDOĞAN Missile, were carried out in the second half of 2022. Each GÖKDEMİR Missile Launch Vehicle has the ability to fire between 8 and 12 GÖKDOĞAN Missiles. (...) It is emphasized that the KALKAN Radar, which is also used in HİSAR-A+/O+/RF systems, is preferred as the search radar in the system.

I don't know, this just feels and looks like any other attack helicopter... not sure exactly what is so impressive about it?

We will also integrate air-to-air missiles. In that sense, we will have gained a very serious capability. The target speed of our helicopter is 175 knots.

look to me some one copy and paste specifications. weights are very identical. why not disclose internal fuel capacity.

This combined with the new engines, enhances the helicopter’s overall agility and flight performance in hot-and-high environments. For instance, the maximum level speed at sea level increased to 175kts (324km/h) from 162kts (300km/h) for the Mi-28N, while the maximum cruise speed is 157kt (290km/h).

The Russians have Mi-28s, and we are talking about a powerful system. Newly designed, everything Turkish. Its engine comes only abroad, insha'Allah Türkiye will make it too. A completely domestic and national helicopter. It has a carrying capacity of 1.5 tons of explosives. Normally, helicopters cannot approach the battlefield because they are too vulnerable to attack. We saw this in Ukraine's struggle against Russian helicopters. Atak-2 can engage remotely. It can do this together with the electronic warfare system, guidance system and self-protection system on it. Atak-2 will take off for this week. We will deliver it in 2025.

helicopters are only thing that approach battlefield even unguided rockets work. missiles are rarely used.

Not exactly, it is very risky nowadays to go and do a unguided rocket strafe...

@BoraTas not exactly, design itself (for this prototype) was completed for like around a year ago.

I am very interested on how the EO/IR targeting pod would work while firing the cannon. Wouldn't the discharge gases blind the EO/IR?

To make a lengthy discussion short:

1. I'm sure the engineers know what they are doing.
2. This is prototype 0. There are going to be more prototypes with changes applied to them.
