Who makes Turkey's T-129s?
Turkey's T-129 ATAK attack helicopters are made by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), a state-owned company. They are a significant part of Turkey's domestic defence industry, designed to meet the specific needs of the Turkish Armed Forces. This is part of Turkey's broader effort to reduce reliance on foreign military suppliers, like those who make the Black Hawk helicopter that crashed in Malatya.
