Writes nplus1.ru in August 2014, the Turkish authorities adopted a program that involves the active development of the military-industrial complex and the development of the original types of weapons and military equipment, which could compete on the world market with the American and Russian samples. The new development is planned re-equipment of the armed forces and to increase military exports.
At present, Turkey’s attack helicopters of its own design not released. The country produced light attack helicopters T129 ATAK, developed based on the Italian A129 Mangusta. This double machine has a length of 13.5 meters and a height of 3.4 meters. The helicopter maximum take-off weight is equipped with a main rotor diameter of 11.9 meters.
T129 can reach a speed of 278 kilometers per hour and to perform flights at a distance of 510 kilometers. The helicopter is armed with 20 mm cannon TM197B and can carry missiles and rockets. In total, the Turkish armed stand 44 helicopter T129.

Under the agreement with Turkish Aerospace Industries, maximum takeoff weight of the new machine is 10 tons. The car will receive two turboshaft engine, presumably Turkish development. Double helicopter can operate at high altitudes and high temperatures.
According to a post on the website of the office of defense industry, ATAK 2 can carry a payload of 200 kilograms, but most likely is a typo. In the video, dedicated to new developments and published on the official channel of the control, payload attack helicopter is stated at 1.2 tons. This is a common indicator for the impact of cars in the ten-ton class.
ATAK 2 will receive aircraft gun, missiles class “air-air” and “air-surface” and unguided rockets caliber 70 millimeters. It is argued that the new machine will be developed from scratch, although, judging by the published renderam attack helicopter, will inherit many features T129.
Currently, Turkey also is developing its own multirole helicopter T625. It made its first flight in September 2018. T625 can carry up to 12 passengers, and the composition of its crew will consist of two person. Maximum take-off weight of the helicopter is about 6 tons. The machine can develop speed to 300 kilometers per hour and to perform flights on distance up to 740 miles.
