Thank you, I just love war gaming. Far more comfortable here,
So let us look at the facts and first do a numbers game.
Then we can do equipment, tactics, support, and actual scenarios such as house to house fighting in Dhanmondi or Uttara.
Bangladesh Armed Forces Manpower
1. Bangladesh Army : Total manpower strength : 204,000 personnel
2. Bangladesh Border Guards : Total manpower : 50, 000 personnel
3. Bangladesh Navy. : Total manpower : 25,000 personnel
4. Bangladesh Air Force. : Total manpower : 17,000 personnel
---------------------------------------------
Total : 296,000
----------------------------------------------
Indian para-military manpower strength
( State Armed Police such as Nagaland Armed Police, Jharkhand , Kerala, Rashtriya Rifles, have been left out )
- Assam Rifles (AR) CPMF- 63,747 personnel (led by Indian Army officers and AR cadre officer reporting to the Ministry of Home Affairs)
- Border Security Force (BSF)CAPF - 257,363 personnel
- Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) CAPF- 144,418 personnel
- Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) CAPF- 313,678 personnel
- Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) CAPF- 89,432 personnel
- National Security Guard (NSG) CAPF- 7,350 personnel
- Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) - 76,337 personnel
- state armed forces
- Bihar Military Police 16 battalions 16,000 personnel
- Haryana Armed Police. 5 battalions 4500 personnel
- Mizoram Armed Police. 8 battalions 8000 personnel
- Rajasthan Armed Constabulary 14 battalions 14,000 personnel
- Eastern Frontier Rifles 3000 personnel
- Provincial Armed Constabulary 30 battalions 30,000 personnel
Total : 1,027,825
Even if 1/3 of India's paramilitary forces are deployed they still outnumber the entire strength of Bangladesh Armed Forces.
These units like the BSF and ITBP are battle hardened facing Pakistan and China) and equipped with aircraft, ( both fixed wing and rotary) , armored fighting vehicles, anti-tank guided missiles, manpads and light artillery. A section are paradrop capable.
In Pakistan we know what they are like. Our Rangers and Scouts face them all the time. Not bad at all, but not much trouble either, despite the fact they outnumber us 4:1 as deployed.
The Indian Army is the real stuff. Those boys know their job.
Based on your BGB Chief's statement your BGB seems to have a tough time dealing with the BSF.
