Nah Australian will be left sooner or later. We got our programme to overpower them sooner or later, as our late Yudhoyono had vowed. KFX/IFX is on the pipeline, indigenous submarine, indigenous LHD, apache programme, Indigenous Tank, and so on. It is futile to talk against an resident of LDC country an idiot on top of that. Most of Indonesian member will share the same Point of view and sentiment with me regarding our relationship with Australia as we must to overpower them.

vua source. Don't believe everything it says. Turkey offered T129 version to Bangladesh, that is correct.Source: Defence Update Bangladesh
Italy Offered A129 Helicopter to Bangladesh Army
Bangladesh Army getting offer for its Attack Chopper acquisition program from various sources includes Italian Leonardo Company with its A129 International attack helicopter
Bangladesh Army attack helicopter procurement, Leonardo A129 is an option.
Italian defense equipment manufacturer Leonardo Company offered it A129 International attack helicopter to Bangladesh Army. Attack helicopters are modern army’s aerial warfare backbone and Leonardo’s A129 combat helicopter is one of the most sophisticated chopper in its class.

It is a combat proven platform. A129 also dubbed as AW129, sometimes. Italian Army operating 59 of them and deployed worldwide operations. This attack helo can operate in hot desert conditions, cold weather, and tropical humid weather. If Bangladesh Army go for A129 then they can get logistics, training, maintenance and spare supports easily

Attack helicopters will have to wait.
Fighters and medium-range air-defence systems are of a more pressing need.
we can't tell the Navy that please stop your frigate program until we get our SAMs.... or we also can't tell the Army that please stop attack helo plan now until fighters are bought.... all things are pressing.... deterrent can't be made with one force only.... all need development.... and quickly....
Frigate program does not need to stop because BD needs funds for fighters as large funds are not required immediately for it. Attack helicopter is not really that pressing and can wait 2-3 years.
Fighters and medium range SAMs are the most urgent needs and has to come first.
Simply BD does not have money to buy both fighters, Medium range air defence and attack helicopters simultaneously.
this is the "gradualism" I was talking against.... this has put us where we are today....
Bd airspace is vulnerable as we speak.... it’s duck open... so is the army and navy... duck open to get bombed from the air... airforce should stop playing around and get serious. If anything they should be ashamed where they’re now compared to navy.... back in the days navy was small rust buckets.Let us see:
Fighters = 1 billion US dollars
Medium Range Air- Defence = 0.5 billion dollars
24 attack helicopters = 1 billion US dollars
BD has 1.5 billion US dollars in next 2 years to import weapons. What does it buy?
Of course fighters and air-defence, as without these rest of BD military is vulnerable to air-attack and BD cities, critical infrastructure can be bombed.
