Turkey has provided the Somali Gov’t with a new batch of T129 ATAK helicopters, which will be deployed in the operations against Al-Shabab militants.
The T129 ATAK is a multi-role combat helicopter designed for close air support and armed reconnaissance missions.
It is equipped with advanced weaponry, including machine guns and rocked pods, and is known for its precision and agility in combat scenarios.
The delivery is part of Turkey’s broader efforts to strength its military and diplomatic ties with Somalia, particularly in the fight against terrorism and insurgency.
The T129 ATAK helicopters are expected to enhance the Somali National Army’s capabilities in countering Al-Shabab, a militant group that has been active in the region for years.
