no info.

edit: now i remember, the deal will be finished in 2017

You mean completed.

BAF will be getting C-130s like-new and upgrade and other associates equipment for current C-130s as planned and DSCA request sent and most likely will be approved because of genuine reasons. It takes time, BAF is not india or singapore, like Pakistan you'll too get things a bit late. It's all waiting but 2016 at the most you'll get them.

BDs should recognize their needs and can make a deal with Chinese for Z-10 joining and assembling that helicopter locally.

can Z-10 transport troops ? no, we are not in position to buy dedicated attack helo. BD air forces knows well

You are right I think at this point BD dont need Attack Helos, but in long term I think Z-19 would be an excellent choice if a new variant sort of AH-1Z type variant comes out with dual powerful engine and better Armor. On the cheap side Z-9 Attack variant would do limited job.

The Mil Mi-171Sh is a Russian helicopter also known as the Mi-8M in production at two factories in Kazan and Ulan-Ude. It is a medium twin-turbine transport helicopter.

The definitive improved version now is the Mil Mi-38 (please google it for images) and is available in military versions with hard-points. It is identical in many respects to the Mi-171Sh as far as payload and undercarriage details. Which is no issue as the Mi-8 and Mi-171 birds have been as reliable as anvils.

The Mil Mi-38 has "glass cockpit" avionics, newer composite main rotor blades and way too many other aviation-related refinements to the plain vanilla Mi-171 to list. Power-plant choices are now either a pair of the local Klimov TV7 or Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127 turboshaft engine which have 2800 shp as output so max payload is a lot higher now (still officially rated at 30 fully-equipped para-commandos)

The older Mi-171Sh in use by Bangladesh Army Commandos I believe uses a pair of the older Klimov TV3 turboshaft with only 2100 shp each.

But Z-10 is really a dedicated machines that can easily pose a threat to any enemy including INDIA which is buying Apache is good numbers.

BAF should buy 30 Z-10s along with a good deal of Pakistani UAVs and some 3 new Chinese AWE&Cs.

1. no point of having dedicated helo when you lack in transport helo
2. what is the price of Z-10 ? around $35 million ? Mi171sh will cost $16million
