The T129 is a Turkish modernisation of the Agusta A129 Mangusta, with which it shares just the fuselage. Internally, Turkish technology is used, with updated avionics, airframe, and armaments. Currently, 60 units are in service, with the capacity to produce 32 more if needed. The T129 appears to be a more successful worldwide version of its Italian predecessor, with interest from a number of countries including Qatar, the Philippines, and Pakistan.
