If Turkey does go for 40 and backed up with the T-129 they will have a formidable array of attack choppers.

Spot on Stan. 150 T-129's will enter into service before 2012. We already have 40 Cobra's. Add to this another 10-40 Apache's....Boy this is one large force. This equates to 200-230 very capable and modern Attack Helis.
Considering the T-129 is equivalent to or better than the Apache, this is surely a tank busting team.
