Bangladesh looks west for attack helicopters

Why?

You have anything to add? Then do so.

Follow my advice. Not everything needs to be answered/replied to or posted.

Yar woh is k puch raha tha italian Aid ka or price k.In benglaion k Pas T-129 helicopter k paisa hain

Good options.

Just some questions though.

Are you planning these for counter-terrorist operations as in for close air support?

If there are any specific details, do share here for everyone's knowledge please.

We have some trouble in our hill track area though not significant yet this helo will help any event rise there. Moreover recent tension with neighboring Mayanmer also need to counter .

Why is Bangladesh interested in A129, when your Turkish brothers can offer the superior T129?
Cost and probable uncertainty over US engine might be the reason.

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Just checked our defense related facebook page, in their opinion western also means Russian too so MI-35M might be a strong possibilities due to our familarities with Russian.

Bangladesh did show interest in T-129. PM's military advisor visited both Leonardo's, the original A-129's manufacturer and TAI's stall in different defense exhibition. But after U.S blocked engine supply for Pakistan's T-129 deal with Turkey this might be impossible. Plus local Boshundhara group has connection with Leonardo and they will office in Dhaka. Moreover, BAF bought various helicopter from Leonardo. So i think Leonardo has more chance than Turkey because of the connection with BAF and local business group. And how's T-129 superior? Both A-129 and T-129 is basically the same thing if i am not mistaken.

Can you tell us unit price of both helicopter? @Agha Sher what "aid/support" you are talking about?

I wasn't talking about anything in particular. I was just investigating whether the deal might have had other strings attached since T129 wasn't selected. I don't think you should be worried regarding the engine issue (it was a lie that US had blocked engines for Pakistan). The T129 is superior in terms of improved avionics and performance + actual and intense combat experience. They are pretty much alike otherwise, product experience shouldn't be a problem.

You only needed fewer words to answer that question instead of acting "cool".

My Dear Sir.

Please understand 02 things:

1. You are not aware of why he tagged me.
2. If you are his protagonist or an advocate by any stretch of imagination, you can post the desired information yourself.

Now having said the above:

1. I don't give a damn as to what the Bangladesh Government and/or it's military wants.
2. There are plenty of threads on the topic, the member is new and has been posting in a very consistent manner. If he desires to partake in an activity of his interest, he can do his own legwork to post the relevant and necessary information, as desired by him
3. From my side, yourself and every other Bangladeshi member, can buy AH-64D, AH-1 Viper, Mi-28, Ka-52, CAIC Z-10, AW T129 or Eurocopter Tiger, Mi-35M, whatever you wish, in howsoever much quantities you desire. While your fellow country member Species is busy raising an Airborne Brigade and Advance Air Defence to cut through the Siliguri 'Chicken Neck', you may as well buy a couple of dozen squadrons of each of the aforementioned platforms.

Further, having said that, my sincere request remains, to refer if the original poster tagged me to ask my views, or if there is any question that is referred to me, for me to 'answer'. If not, I suggest you mind your own business.

Friend, do not tag me until and unless it is some issue where you have done your homework and then posted relevantly and need a second opinion. I think that should have been the lesson for you from posting the other day. There is a certain member who you did precisely this to, who sits banned for his efforts.

I suggest you use Google to check data, check relevant threads here, get your basics in, and then engage. And you are on your own. First get your knowledge right.

Cheers.

I've always said Bangladesh lacks proper air force and air defence and that's what I was replying to @Atlas that we need a decent air force and air defence. While the fact that Chicken's Neck is one of the weakest points of India's geo-strategic position is accepted by all experts.

Stop twisting posts and play a victim card, that's too girly!

Ugh!! Again you wasted another thread. Really wasn't necessary to tell all these things, drama and bring old argument here. All i wanted to hear a simple answer. I noticed later that guy was actually a troll. Sorry to bother you.

Vai, plz leave it. really don't wanna stir up any old argument to pollute the thread just for a simple answer.

why i am feeling they are going to Italy ?

Explained some reason in previous thread. But some local pages are claiming BAF considers Russia in western block and Mi-35 might come.

LOL 'feelz' comes to my mind.

@Ronin I commend Bangladesh's economic progress and efforts. Am busy with @Mage putting a Pakistani fanboy in his place over 1971 Bangladesh liberation war. Don't bother replying to this. But I am not a Bangla baiter, except for Species. His desire to cut Chicken Neck is really ticklish.

I think i understand this sentence. but Mi-35/28 wouldn't be a bad choice either. Specially Mi-35 for CHT area and UN mission. You even bought some Mi-35 AFAIK.
yeah they are not bad but our friends have high hopes so i thought this time italy will be the seller
