Indonesia: T625 Gökbey’s First Export Destination? TurDef
Turkiye expects Indonesia to ink a deal for TUSAŞ’s T625 Gökbey utility helicopter, marking the first export of Turkiye’s first indigenously designed helicopter.
Developed to replace the ageing UH-1 series of utility helicopters in Turkiye and fit in as a medium-light utility helicopter in the global market, T625 Gökbey has reportedly found its first export customer as Indonesia.
The first hint about expectation surfaced today during the ceremony held for Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto’s visit to Turkiye. General Manager of TUSAŞ, Dr Mehmet Demiroğlu wrote on his social media account that three Gökbey helicopter salute the Indonesian President Subianto. President Subianto was Indonesia's former defence minister and he is known for his keen interest in Turkish products.
T625 has recently entered service with the Turkish Gendarmie units with a demonstration performed by the JÖAK (Gendarmie special forces unit focusing on search and rescue operations) earlier. Turkish Coast Guard is also planning on acquiring the helicopter to succeed the AB-412 helicopters.
