who said it is?. It is an indegenous integration projects. The avionics, Electro-Optics Sensor System, weapons systems, mission computer, wiring, EFIS cockpit displays are all Turkish designed and manufactured. Please check the agreement terms with Agusta. The first batch of 30 will have alot of Italian components. But Turkish Configurations 2 and 3 will have much more Turkish components. The project will eventually become 100% Turkish. That was the aim of the whole tender and this is why several of the other companies were not selected. In fact, Denel had offered a 50% more cheaper alternative but could not acommadate Turkish needs.
