1. cost includes spare parts, maintenance costs.
2. 1 billion USD not 1.2 billion USD.
3. Bangladesh versions are amphibious.
4. in Romanian Military Vechile systems firm, German company will have 50% share. So it actually Business investment from Germany.


"A few more details.The new vehicle will be produced by a joint Rheinmettal-Romanian firm (50/50) called Romanian Land Systems.The Romanian Moreni factory will be split in 2,one part producing vehicles and the other assuring maintenance.

The new vehicle will be called AGILIS 8X8 and will incorporate Romanian technologies from the SAUR prototypes and German tech.Unlike the Boxer,it will be an amphibious vehicle."

So,

1. It is also an amphibious vehicle ( Romanian version of German Boxer vehicle )
2. They will provide maintenance for the vehicle up-to 2055
3. The selected platform will be used to produce different type of vehicles..ambulance, mobile mortar, command and control & cbrn (Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense ) variants.
4. It seems a good value for money, u can mount different types of weapon system--remote controlled station, Anti tank guided weapon along with 12 mm MG.



BD source its vehicles from different country...A couple of years ago, in the victory day parade i noticed command and control vehicle from China, APC from Turkey,Ukraine (Lazar), Recovery vehicle from Russia, armored ambulance from China.....i think BD can follow this kind of deal ...then there will be a commonality among all type of platforms...besides our engineers will gain valuable experience from joint production...cbrn vehicles can also be used in Rooppur nuclear plant...If we need sophisticated vehicles/APCs/IFVs we can buy them from other countries..What i am trying to say that we should give more focus on indigenization.....our police, navy, rab can also procure them if local production takes place..we can send them to un mission too...MM made a good APC deal with ukrain...which are better armed...indonesia uses them ( BTR 4) too...

Bangladesh Army Aviation’s Spanish C-295W Military Aircraft-2017
Bangladesh Military News
Published on Nov 30, 2016

Bangladesh Army Aviation Group (AAG) ordered one CASA C-295W military transport aircraft from Spain. The aircraft’s expected delivery timeline is the second half of 2017. The EADS CASA C-295 is a twin-turboprop tactical military transport aircraft, and is currently manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space in Spain.

The C-295 is manufactured and assembled in the Airbus Military facilities in the San Pablo Airport, in Seville, Spain. It is a development of the Spanish – Indonesian transport aircraft CASA/IPTN CN-235, but with a stretched fuselage, 50% more payload capability and new PW127G turboprop engines.

The C-295 made its maiden flight in 1998. The first order came from the Spanish Air Force. In 2012, EADS announced several enhancements to the base C-295 design, changes included the adoption of winglets and an ability to carry the Marte anti-ship missile; a dedicated airborne early warning and control variant was also planned.

In November 2015, a C-295 successfully demonstrated a new self-protection suite, which incorporated elements such as directional infrared countermeasures from Elbit Systems and infrared passive airborne warning system. In January 2016, Airbus was in the process of developing a new hose-and-drogue in-flight refueling rig to be optionally installed in the centerline of the C295, this capability is being promoted for the aerial refueling of combat helicopters, initial 'dry' flight tests are scheduled later in the year; Airbus is also performing flap optimizations and other modifications upon the type for extreme takeoff and vertical landing capabilities.

The Army Aviation Group is the army aviation unit of the Bangladesh Army. The AAG conducts military air operations and is responsible for doctrine, manning and configuration for all aviation units in the Army.

The Army Aviation Group was formed in 1978 in the form of a squadron and named Army Aviation Squadron. That time, there was no training facilities of its own. Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh took up the responsibility of the pilot training and continued that for a long time. In 1982, the branch goes through first expansion program where it was expanded to a wing strength and named Army Aviation Wing.

In 1990, it was finally brought to a group strength and named Army Aviation Group. Aircraft such as Cessna 152 and Cessna 208 Caravan were procured to modernize the Aviation Group. The strength of the unit is more than 100 with 30+ pilots. Members from all the branches of Bangladesh Army can join this unit with proper qualification and training.

At present, Army Aviation Group operates two Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin helicopters and one Cessna 208 Caravan aircraft for transport and utility purpose. Three Bell 206 helicopters and four Cessna 152 aircraft are there for the training of the army aviators.

This unit is responsible for the maintenance of the aircraft of the army aviation group. Previously, personnel from Bangladesh Air Force did all the maintenance task of army aviation.
Later on, army came up with its own maintenance unit with its own personnel.
