The A129 has undergone several combat deployments since entering service with the Italian Army in the 1990s. A derivative of the A129, the TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK, is being developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries(TAI), who shall produce the T129 for the Turkish Army and potentially other export customers, AgustaWestland is serving as the primary partner on the T129.
