Adventurous operation BEKPA-2 (Episode-1) under Captain Touquir

[UKBengali]

For those who are interested, videos of Portuguese Special forces from this operation is available in youtube.

And guys what's this nonsense about not sending troops came from? We don't them send just for money.

Un mission gave BD a good political & diplomatic standing with US, EU etc. Without it BD would be lonelier diplomatically than you could think. Now after Rohingya, thinking we don't need them is nativity.

Also our troops are getting real time training, getting a chance to apply what they learned & work on refining their tactics.

They gets to train & excercise with armed forces from around the world, which would have costed shi*t load, if we had to pay from our pockets.

And where else do you plan to get all these perks from?

I understand the "Colonial" 'Master slave ' thing, or the West's necessity to keep Africa under it's control to exploit it's natural riches.

But come on in real world we should try to take the chance, ego is bad when it's damages self interest.

Guess we just reacted when we saw BD "Peacekeepers" getting involved in combat that was not for self-defence.

Like you say it is not about just the money. It gives BD influence and also ability to train with armies all over the world and some combat experience.

Difficult one but if it was up to me I would not send a single soldier for peacekeeping. There are other ways to get influence in this world.

Exactly. Well I understand that moral or ethical backdrop of the UN mission is debatable, but in real geo-politic developing countries don't have much room to wiggle.

But it's a comforting matter that BA troops gets involved in offensive operations only when other forces specially the AU troops can't do it. Our militarily leadership has a very clear cut policy on that.

Cannot agree here.

BD can in fact just take the hit and spend 1 billion dollars more on the army to stop this mercenary work.
They could then give big pay rises to personnel to make up for the lost revenue.

BD can afford it but simply does not have the self-respect to say no to this.

I am not aginst BD joining UN mission. It increases professionalism of our forces through interaction with others.

The money also keeps BA firmly in the barracks...mainly.

However they should be peacekeepers not mercenaries.

First important reason, political leverage with much larger heavy hitter players. Without becoming their slaves or serfs. Serves important role that heavy hitters don't themselves don't or can't get involved in for a multitude of reasons.

Other two very important reasons. Mainly local reasons but still important. How else would you train the army in modern war tactics along-with first world armies, earn a handsome income for them and still keep them busy and out of local trouble? Ideal stuff.

Peacekeeping is not all about talking peace on the table or controlling unarmed mobs in the streets of a foreign country. There are roaming gun-toting hoodlums and radicals who keep on attacking the peace-loving civilians that need an equal response from the UN peacekeepers. And this response is meted out with guns against their guns.

It is certainly no mercenary work, it is called peacekeeping work. And like any other type of works, this work must also be paid in money. This is what the BD peacekeepers are doing and are suffering from the hardship of this untidy and risky job, and it is essential that they are paid by the UN.

In self defense definately take any action necessary.....but dont get into active active offensive action.

Blue helmets are lightly armed with minimal air and general logistic support.

BD needs to define rules of engagement that does not risk our troops well being unnecessarily. No bravado necessary.

A military job is a risky job and only the troops in the action field know about the situation correctly. Not all news is covered by the mass media. Military people are trained to correctly act in a volatile situation. Let the military men do their solemn work at the risk of their lives. We, the civilians, should just wait to know about a mission accomplished successfully with or without casualty.

UN job is not a mercenary job, but Yemen front is. Even then we can only pray for our people there. By the way, have you read about the BD reaction on Yemeni missile (?) attack in SA? The GoB has shown concerns. It seems, our military men are waiting eagerly to be sent there to safeguard the two Holy places. Only a telephone call from the Crown Prince.

I have no issues with BD assisting with the defense of the holy sites. It is not in BDs interest to see Saudi and the GCC destabilised in anyway.

But saying that i do not buy the houties are in any way targetting the holy places. They are targetting military installations as is their right. I also do not discount the possibility of false flag operations to start a war against Iran. Larger games afoot and from BD perspective we simply need to support the saudi US position because we gain nothing by not supporting the status quo.

Bangladesh first even where the position maybe morally dubious.

Bold part: Well, this kind of military operations in favor of a foreign govt and without a UN mandate can be termed as "Mercenary". SA people do not like to die for their country leaving behind their Earthly assets including multiple wives and bank balance. So, its govt asks mercenaries from BD or Pakistan to fight and shed their lives. All in the name of protecting Holy Sites.

However, this kind of mercenary job is also needed by these two countries only because millions of their citizens working there. UN peacekeeping missions are similarly needed. Our troops get high remunerations and the armed forces get many half-used weapons and vehicles almost free of cost that enriches their inventories.

if they can't afford a couple squadron of jets for 2 decades now... there is no way they will be able to afford high pay like the western personnels.
you might say well, the russians were this and the chinese were that... that doesn't excuse the stagnation, the navy faced the same problems... now they can build just about anything except subs and aircraft carriers
