Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) has bagged an order to supply six T129 attack helicopters to Nigeria.

TAI is producing T129s under a license from the Italian-British firm AgustaWestland.
The company had earlier sold six T129s to the Philippines for $269 million, of which two have already been delivered. The remaining four will be handed over to the Philippine military next year.
