here's one I've found.....

Bangladesh to Buy Four Helicopters for 750 Million Taka

In order to enhance mobility of rescue operations during emergency periods across the country

, Food and Disaster Management Ministry will procure four helicopters, costing 750 million taka.

The ministry has already received opinion from Bangladesh Biman for buying the long-desired helicopters from Indonesia.

The funds for purchase of helicopters will be obtained from IDB (Islamic Development Bank) as a soft loan by the concerned ministry, while it was earlier decided that the fund will be mobilized from its sources. It will take another four to five months to obtain the funds from IDB for procurement of these four super Puma helicopters.

Earlier, the Food and Disaster Management Ministry and Biman had decided that the concerned ministry will procure 17 helicopters from abroad for smooth relief opera tions across the country. The ministry had earlier decided not to procure helicopters from abroad using foreign funds

as it has an adverse effect on foreign currency reserves.Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) recently invited tenders for purchasing two helicopters costing 250 million taka to enhance mobility of the elite force

and this one was gave the initial news.....

Indonesian Aerospace set for major contract with Bangladesh

Indonesian Aerospace (PT. Dirgantara Indonesia, formerly IPTN) could make a thrilling windfall on possible order of NAS 332 Super Puma (license built Eurocopter AS 332) Search and Rescue helicopters by the Bangladesh government.

The Bangladesh government’s disaster management and relief ministry with the help of the Bangladesh Air Force is seeking to procure and operate up to seventeen NAS 332 Super Puma helicopters in the long term with immediate goal of acquiring four.

Each Eurocopter AS 332/NAS 332 cost $15 million on the international market and the Bangladesh government hopes to secure a low interest loan from the Islamic Development Bank for this purpose.

Representatives of the PT Dirgantara Indonesia Aerospace made a presentation on Super Puma at a BAF meeting on 9 October, 2012.

The highly versatile and reliable Super Puma is available in fifteen variants including military and civilian versions. The SAR variant is in service with Japan Coast Guard and Saudi Navy amongst other major Asian nations.

During an internal meeting held on 8 January, 2013 the Bangladesh Air Force recommended the purchase of Mi-17 helicopters, which they have experience operating for the past 20 years instead of the NAS 332. BAF sources said they not only have the experience but also necessary infrastructure to support additional Mi-17′s regardless of variants as they operate Mi-17, Mi-171Sh, Mi-17V3 and Mi-17V5 helicopters.

Civil servants however favour the NAS 332 as they can receive the soft loan from the IDB, whilst the Russian purchase would require Bangladesh government to spend large sums of money from its own coffers.

Recently the Bangladesh armed forces improved its Search and Rescue capabilities with the acquisition of two RUAG Do-228NG state of the art maritime patrol aircraft.

Looks to me like Bangladesh has some Yugoslavia made artillery pieces, like M48 B1 76mm cannon and M56 105mm howitzer. Did you guys bought these from Yugoslavia, or are they maybe retired ones from Serbia? Because our army retired those weapons, and i have some informations than Yugoimport sold few hundreds of them (but modernized) to undisclosed countries.

did we get the noras?

If you did, that is not the picture of them. That is the picture from Serbia.
