Beyond the Black Hawk, Turkey's military uses a variety of helicopters for transport, attack, and utility roles. These include locally produced T-129 ATAK attack helicopters and general-purpose platforms like the Cougar, often for search and rescue or troop movement, similar to the Black Hawk's role in the Malatya crash.
