Turkey pushes button for $500 million military helicopter competition
Turkey has officially launched a competition for 10 heavy lift helicopters. Potential bidders are the CH-47, CH-53 and Mi-26.

Before the competition had started, Boeing approach Turkey for a potential sale of 10 CH-47s.

Chances for the CH-53 is slim as it is no longer in production while the Mi-26 is unlikely to succeed as Turkey prefers Western planes.
