Ismail Demir added that there is a significant worldwide demand for Turkey’s Atak military helicopters: “The Atak-2 will be a helicopter with higher cargo capacity and capabilities. It is presently regarded as one of the world's top helicopters in its class. Our slogan is: if it's man-made, we'll make it better,” the defense industry chief emphasized.

Demir announced that the Anadolu ship will be launched in 2022 and Hürjet (light combat aircraft) designers are working on its landing and take-off of the ship, AzerNew writes. The ship will have both a landing capability as well as a powertrain platform capable of transporting naval, ground, and air forces. The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) were not included in the original concept. To close the gap, however, appropriate design improvements are already being implemented, Demir said. The arrival of the Hürjet plane is scheduled for 2023 and a countdown for other domestic helicopters and planes has started. Contact was established with Russia for the development of the national jet, which is the most important project in Turkey’s history.
