If you want to be the crown jewel of economic growth, you better be prepared to defend it. That was my point. And having somewhat hostile neighbors that are larger than us doesn't exactly exude that confidence either.
And like I said, procurement of MRCA's had been delayed intentionally for...
I read somewhere that BN is manufacturing their own missiles.

Shunsi naki dada der pant kuila pore gese ei kobhor ta shune.
Rest assured, the US and China are going in a collision course. Even if there isn't much of a reason, they'll make up one. Did you listen to Biden's Eid message? He did acknowledge that Muslims are being oppressed around the globe and the Muslims in America form an important part of the U.S. At...
I recently visited the delightful beaches of Cox's Bazar. The roadside seafood was delightful too. I have noticed a different dialect in Cox's Bazar from that of Chittagong. No doubt, we do have cultural links with the Rohingyas. They are that missing link we were yearning for. If anything, the...
If I am not mistaken, not all of those Rafales were produced new, some were off the shelf (meaning used). Dassault is a small manufacturer, and 250 orders for half a dozen countries is rather dismal.
Myanmar is presently facing a severe liquidity crisis. They do not have enough foreign currency...
European aircraft are extremely expensive. Most of them manufacture in small quantities and could never match that with their American or even Russian counterparts. I am not certain if the money would be worth it. And the French are not trustworthy (that's why they don't have many customers)...
There is no scope for lifting sanctions against RAB until there is some form of accountability. And these are not my words. This is a legal issue and should be treated as such. Doing so through politics will only make things more difficult for them.
While they may look similar to us, the Rohingyas are culturally very distinct from Bengalis (Chittagongians included). Even their names are very different and speak a raspy accent and they do speak and write their language.
In a word no.
Just look at Israel as an example. Are they feeling cool and dandy after...how many years? Far, far from it. They are not at peace with themselves. Afraid of 16 year old red-heads, pathetic......it's an insult for every self-respecting warrior out there who value their honor. At...
Air force has its limitations.
BD was and is a poor country. It did not face any real military threats. That is why they didn't invest much in the military. An offensive doctrine takes, investment, time and the right temperament from the civil society. We were never united and in one voice...
I do not know how far the Chinese take that chassis. They take inspiration from Russian and Western tanks and basically try to mold them together. The Type-96 was a lower-profile turret while the MBT-2000 has a boxier one with better armor packages.
With the T-72, the auto-loader takes up a...
Really! So what was this official's name?
There are different categories of 'Islamic Fundamentalist'. Not that there is something fundamentally wrong with it as long as they don't enforce their ways on others or engage in violence.
The Afghan Taliban are an entirely different breed. They...
Absolutely not! Not under these current circumstances.
The US (as you already know) already sanctioned individuals linked to 'ISIS Bangladesh'. The primary reason is that we are not sharing intelligence with the Americans which we should be doing. So what would they be left to do? I suspect...
There is already a tender for 4th generation planes along with other tenders. So they are expected to join soon whichever aircraft they may be. If they aren't Russian, I would be a bit surprised.
BDmilitary? Now I am not certain how reliable it is. In my opinion, they are unreliable. So I...
That would have been true had he been a politician. But no, he is the highest ranking soldier in the Indian Armed Forces, is he not? I find that puzzling. It speaks about one's credibility of such an important position!
Is he already preparing for politics? Now that would be funny :lol:
