Turkish Government officials announced that the Bell KingCobra has been selected as the winner to fulfill its attack helicopter requirements. Bell will now enter into negotiations as to specifics of the program and applicable agreements. The KingCobra is the Turkish variant of the AH-1Z being developed for the U.S. Marine Corps. Along with wheeled gear, the KingCobra incorporates significant mission equipment to be provided by Turkish defense industries. The newest version of the Cobra Attack Helicopter is equipped with state-of-the-art avionics, power train and weapons systems. This combination of modern technology and Bell Helicopter reliability and ruggedness makes this third generation Cobra the most cost effective and modern attack helicopter available in the world today. The initial requirement calls for 50 aircraft at a cost of approximatly $1.5 billion (U.S.) with a possible build-up to 145 aircraft. Bell Helicopter Textron will be the primary sub-contractor on the program with Tusas Aerospace Industries Inc. of Ankara acting as prime contractor. Additionally, there will be numerous other sub-contractors that will provide the armament, avionics and engines
