We won't do anything that ends up with us getting sanctioned.Remember, US can sanction u anytime as long as you remain obedient to US.

You really think US will think that way.We won't do anything that ends up with us getting sanctioned.
We are neutral with respect to PRC-USA conflict and will not pick a side against neighbours and friends.
How long? All u can come up with is just pure speculation. You view are full with biased and fantasy.True but BD can wait till the Turkish domestic engine is ready.

IMO the AH-1Z is the better option for Bangladesh. The AH-1Z is a bit bigger and benefits from salt-erosion-proofing, which means you can operate it closer to your shores (if need be) for amphibious or coastal defence operations. Tbh, if I were BD, I'd also invest more in your naval special ops (e.g., frogmen) capability with shallow-water attack subs, more SOF operators, and a landing helicopter deck-type capability. Focus on capturing or constraining enemy ports, sea lanes, naval ISR assets, etc.
OTOH, the T129 shares the same engine as the AW159. So, if you're still getting the latter, you'll have engine commonality which can streamline maintenance.
Anyways, my modernization proposal for BD would be:
You guys have a good economy, it's time to cash in and start evoking your classical Bengal identity (e.g., Shahi Sultanate, etc) to distinguish yourselves from your neighbours. You guys should be the real tigers of the East and others should acknowledge that IMHO. You're not just another country, but a historically great civilization.
- Saab JAS-39E/F (induct in the 2020s)
- KAI KF-21(induct in the 2030s)
- AH-1Z for Army, BAF
- AH-1Z and UH-1Y for BN SOF
- Erieye ER onboard an Embraer E190-E2 or Lineage 1000E
- ASW/ASuW LRMPA based on Embraer E190-E2 (similar to the PN Sea Sultan)
- Custom Frigates based on a Turkish design, built-in Bangladesh
- Custom Submarines based on Turkey's STM TS1700, ideally built-in Bangladesh
- SWATs from Turkey or Italy

Right man , F-35 and F-22 are superior. BD shall also considered them. Oh, I forget BD is the world largest economy and unlimited printing money abilities, right?
Get the best, don't care about cost. I got it. How naive r u? When are you going to get CVN Gerald Ford aircraft carrier?
CAATSA
bruh, are you serious? stop trolling. I am sure Americans make sure all their parts outsourced to Indians are not left on the mercy of coconuts and cow dung/urine.Considering Apache fuselages if ordered will be manufactured at TATA facility in India, and Bangladeshis being concerned of Indian quality- how does it look like for Apache? Bangladesh can surely do better, eh?
We shouldn't wait for it. Has America placed any sanctions on us ? infact , many senior US officials (civilian and military) said that they wanted to ''increase cooperation'' with us (or something similar) .True but BD can wait till the Turkish domestic engine is ready

Go for the T-129 with US engines.
The only hurdles i see is ACSA and GSMIOA.
Whenever a country which had no experience in gas turbine development, promises a new advanced gas turbine (like a helicopter engine), there will be skepticism. They won't be ready anytime soon, certainly not within the time scale they propose. It's almost certain they won't. If they do, it'll be horrendously unreliable
They can't even produce a modern diesel engine for their Altay tank. Or their trucks, APCs, MRAPs for that matter. They use western engines or licensed-built western engines. And Gas Turbines is another ball game. This is just a marketing ploy. Like the 1800hp "indigenous" Turko engine for Altay.
Let's just say, there are reasons why very few countries are capable of producing turbofans, turboprops, turboshafts, or even industrial steam turbines (for power stations), on anything other than the experimental/test stage. And Turkey isn't one of them.
It's one of those things where there is literally no substitute for experience. And these experiences are always top secret. It took China three decades, and billions in R&D to crack it.
I apologize unconditionally for the uncalled and wrong remarks which can be attributed towards Hindu Traditions. Disagreements aside, as a Pakistan and a Muslim, I am bound to respect other religions including Hinduism.Calling me out for trolling, and making joke of certain hindu religious customs like breaking coconuts. Good going.
