What's new

Bangladesh Army

Btw.... Stock turret or shall I say second gen turret of t59 can only accommodate 100mm gun... 120... 125mm doesn't fit into that with auto loader or gun rammer or stabilizer.

Has Bangladesh invested anything itself into armour materials research etc?

I don't think so. And even if they did it would be classified... We wouldn't know until they announce something.

guys tbh... bangladesh should start a dedicated tank museum now... close to air force museum... we got those ww2 era tanks and some 71 era tanks... plus when these retire in future... i would rather like to see them in a old age home than metal scrapyard

What exactly? I am not seeing the BD tank fully upgraded like the reference pic on left or am I missing something here?

the tank on the left i guess is the complete upgrade? bigbossman has been posting since the beginning... plus type 59s havent been seen last year in the parade indicating they were being upgrade...!?

If its confirmed that is indeed BD tank on left, congrats.

But I will need more proof.
 
@bigbossman should speak for this now... i am not 100% on this still... but when considering pakistan already got their own class of upgrades... and tanzania's tank is full brown in colour and this is painted greenish brownish... it is safe to place bet on it

From this profile: (As per the information given, they were taking these tanks to Dhaka from Chittagong, At first i had doubt about the pictures, then seeing the Bangladeshi trucks and army soldiers, It is confirmed that this tank belong to Bangladesh Army. The upgrade process is still underway. This tank is not fully upgraded yet.

Read somewhere t69 is a variant of t59 but it's for the light tank role...
The little upgrade they did back in 2012 were said to be the last

I used to think T59 and T69 are different tanks. T59 is for the light rank role where is T69 Mk II is the backbone of our MBT group.

I doubt whether T69 mk II can be called backbone when there are only 50 piece of them in inventory.Bangladesh have only 276 tank according to IISS. This is shamefully low number considering the size of our army and the threat we face from our powerful neighbors.

T69 are lighter compared to the 59s and they are in small numbers

Various sources reveal different amounts... But global fire power and even fbi website says around 600 tanks.
