Maybe the "one star" officer realized that he could not supply Akıncı from TAI. Really using this no-nonsense as a resource is a comedy in itself.

DHAKA'S STRATEGIC GOALS
According to defence and foreign relations analysts, Bangladesh has three specific goals to deepen relations with Turkey: diplomatic strength, trade and diversifying arms sources.
Former foreign secretary Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury said Turkey was militarily and politically a global power having an independent strong voice. Also, it is the only Muslim majority country with NATO membership.
He said Bangladesh, which has been facing serious diplomatic challenges for the Rohingya crisis, needs its ally, and Turkey has proved to be one in various global forums, including the International Court of Justice.
Analysts said traditionally, Bangladesh buys major defence equipment from China, Russia, US, UK and South Korea.
"Turkey is making quality arms, which are not very expensive and can come without conditions. This is what Bangladesh needs," a diplomatic source in Ankara said. "Also, Bangladesh can get technology for manufacturing equipment here."
Security analyst Brig Gen (retd) Shahedul Anam Khan said buying anti-ship missiles and air defence systems from Turkey means the country has more options for military purchase.
Buying defence products does not mean only doing it once. That requires training and then accessories in future. "During critical moments, you cannot depend for arms supplies only on one source. If you have more options, you have more independence."
Brig Gen (retd) M Shakhawat Hossain said Bangladesh does not have any security threat as such for now. But as the economy grows and the need for securing huge maritime boundary is high, the country's armed forces need modernisation.
"Also, we are the biggest peace-keeper-sending country to the UN missions. We need capacity building and modern defence equipment for that too," he said.
The other reason why Dhaka's relation with Ankara is important is the country's economy. As the country becomes a middle-income country soon, it needs more trade and foreign investments, said M Humayun Kabir.
Turkey, an upper middle-income country in Europe, can be a large market for Bangladesh. The countries can also have joint ventures, including in textile, as they both have specialties in the sector and other areas, he said.
Asked if Erdogan's rightist policy and conflicts with Saudi Arabia will have any implications on Bangladesh, Humayun Kabir said it is unlikely.
"If Turkey wants to regain its power like that of Ottoman Empire, it is fine. We will see where our convergence is."
Bangladesh also maintains the policy that friendship with one does not affect the other, he said.
"Bangladesh's relation is with the state, not the government of Erdogan," Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury said.

Bangladesh is seeking Turkey's help in building a panoramic museum showcasing the Liberation War in Meherpur, where the first government was formed on 10 April, 1971.
During his visit to Turkey, Secretary of Liberation War ministry, Khaja Miah mentioned the government's plan of setting up this museum that would illustrate the Liberation war and the life of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
"We are trying our best to take ideas from different countries and it is the first step. I visited (Turkey) and tried my best to collect some information and design from other countries as well," he said.
Miah visited numerous military museums on his official tour to Turkey, including the Panorama 1453 History Museum in Istanbul and the Victory Museum in the Afyon province.
He was fascinated by the panoramic museum's 360-degree 3D murals depicting the Ottoman forces led by Mehmed the Conqueror's capture of Istanbul in 1453.
"They (Turks) have their own ideas, philosophy and culture. We have our own ideas, philosophy and culture, but there are similarities in different fields," Miah said, underlining that both countries can share ideas and experiences in many sectors.
"Regarding setting up this panorama, we will mostly try our best to take some architects, engineers and design from Turkey… We will talk to the government – my government, my minister – and try to pursue them to ensure that we can take the technology, architects and design from Turkey."
Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Yavuz Selim Kran and Gökhan Yazg, head of the Cultural Ministry's Directorate General of Cultural Assets and Museums, have verbally assured Bangladesh that Ankara will cooperate and extend its hand to Dhaka in the establishment of the museum, said Miah.
The Liberation War ministry official said another panoramic museum can be built in the capital Dhaka – though there is no current plan on it – to give easy access to the new generation to reach the museum as Meherpur is some 250 kilometres away from the capital.
Although no official agreement has yet been made, Miah is hopeful that the relevant Turkish authorities would provide adequate help.
