Good going Bangladesh.. Srilanka is already receiving Chinese Defence Equipment and its great to see Bangladesh joining in.
And I would love to see more of Chinese tech in your inventory because its not about choosing the country, is also about choosing the side. Good Going!

Srilanka is receiving but we had been using Chinese equipments since 1976.

BD keeps thing in low profile. Be it economic or in defence.

Great news !!! Thanks for the post integra. All we need now is a few more warbirds, frigates and subs and we will have a very strong military

Well bro...navy is being thoroughly developed. Army is being given attention and that leaves us with Air Force.

According to me, Air-Defence is currently more important that warbirds. JF-17 or J-10 can be an option for the latter. But we seriously need multi-layered air defence.


Cheers!!!

Bangladesh outlines military equipment procurement plans.

Jon Grevatt Asia-Pacific Industry Reporter - Bangkok

Key Points
Bangladesh has outlined its military modernisation plans

The acquisition of Chinese-made equipment is likely to follow

The government of Bangladesh has outlined a plan to procure a wide range of military equipment as it looks to secure its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and reinforce UN peacekeeping efforts.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said in a speech to mark Bangladesh Armed Forces Day on 21 November that "processes are under way" to procure "sophisticated tanks", self-propelled artillery, air defence missile systems, fighter aircraft and helicopters.

Hasina added that such acquisitions - the details of which were not revealed - will follow the purchase of 140 armoured personnel carriers (APCs), which was completed, she said, after the government assumed office for a second term in 2009.

In addition, Hasina indicated that the government is investing in enhancing the armed forces capabilities through training and the installation of improved facilities.

In a statement, Hasina said: "The government will take measures - including imparting sophisticated training to the armed forces along with providing them modern equipment - so that Bangladesh [can] send more peacekeepers to UN-sponsored peacekeeping missions ... and make [an] immense contribution to protect the country." She added: "Work has already been started to set up an advanced airbase in Cox's Bazar to keep constant watch on the Bay of Bengal."

Although Bangladesh continues to face a range of security threats - including non-traditional threats, such as piracy - and natural disasters, the country is increasingly in competition for energy resources in the Bay of Bengal. Bangladesh has identified substantial unexploited offshore oil and gas reserves inside this area and has often accused neighbours Myanmar and India of infringement. In 2008, for instance, Bangladesh accused Myanmar of sending six vessels (two of them naval) into the EEZ, prompting a stand-off.

Given these energy reserves, it is no coincidence that China has emerged as Bangladesh's most important supplier of materiel and it is likely that the items outlined by Hasina in her speech will be sourced from Beijing, probably under soft financial terms or through military aid. The access to such funds will be vital to the acquisitions as Bangladesh's defence budget totals just USD1.5 billion.

For example, over the past few years China's Shaanxi Baoji Special Vehicles Manufacturing has supplied the 4x4 ZFB05 light APC to Bangladesh with money on loan from Beijing, while in late 2009 the company told that it was in discussions with Dhaka over the sale of additional platforms.

In 2007 China's Chengdu Aircraft Industry supplied 12 F-7BG fighters and four FT-7BG two-seaters to the Bangladesh Air Force and is thought to be in discussion over the potential sale of the Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 (FC-1) fighter and the more advanced Chinese J-10 (FC-20).

The Bangladesh Navy is believed to have purchased two Jiangwei II (Type 053H3)-class frigates in recent years, although in 2009 and 2010 it indicated a willingness to look elsewhere for platforms by ordering three former UK Royal Navy platforms: the ex-RN survey ship HMS Roebuck and two ex-RN Castle-class offshore patrol vessels. Two AgustaWestland AW109 twin-turbine light multipurpose helicopters were also ordered.
