Turkish Roundel Red Wall Art

Turkish Roundel Red — 2 museum-grade prints in this palette. The TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK — ATAK meaning attack in Turkish — is a twin-engine tandem-seat attack helicopter derived from the Agusta A129 Mangusta, optimized for hot-and-high geography and day-night armed reconnaissance. First flight came in September 2009; Turkish Land Forces introduction followed in 2014 after a co-development programme between Turkish Aerospace Industries and Leonardo. 161st Filo — known in the Viper community as Kartal (Eagle) by day and Yarasa (Bat) by night — is the only Turkish squadron issued two radio call signs, reflecting round-the-clock readiness from Bandirma across the Aegean. Turkey's F-16 programme made the Fighting Falcon the backbone of THK fighter strength from the late 1980s onward; the Block 50 configuration shown here carries AMRAAM and indigenous SOM standoff weapons in the multirole strike role the squadron flies alongside NATO air-policing detachments.
