The T70 Program which had been delayed due to CAATSA and export license issues, has resumed with an additional package agreement

"Since the end users are the Ministry of National Defense, Air Force, Land Forces, and Gendarmerie, we made some changes to the contract. Following discussions with Sikorsky, the US administration, and Turkish authorities, a solution was found

The program is now being executed again.Under the program, 38 Helicopters have been completed to date, and with 39 new Helicopters, the total will reach 77. If needed, the option for 32 additional Helicopters can also be exercised, allowing the originally planned 109 Helicopters to be completed."
