Bangaldeshi Armoured Corps: MBTs

[UKBengali]

Bangladesh cannot spend billions as it has a nascent economy.

Even now BD could spend many billions buying 100 4th generation aircraft.

It has healthy foreign exchange reserves, growing economy, rapidly growing budget revenues and declining external debt at less than 18% of gdp now.

BD chooses not to. If you cannot understand this then no point carrying on

talking to yourself now?
first sign of madness.

Sitting in the UK you consider that Bangladesh has the capacity to build a basic air force.

Dude - Indian economy will never do well since it is a multi-ethnic country and they generally don't grow as fast as unitary ones.

Also, BD is deliberately keeping its defence spending at an artificially low-level in order to eliminate poverty first before it really starts to spend money to build a modern military.

Over time, BD will get relatively stronger compared to India. Imagine a scenario where BD has a conventional military as powerful as Pakistan on your eastern border. Indian forces will then face a threat on 3 fronts - Pakistan, BD and China.

You want to cut NE through chicken neck, what about total blockade of BD, what about if India starts arming Myanammar, then you too facing two front war.

India now cannot even arm itself, so forget about arming Myanmar.

I am talking around 2 decades from now when BD will be able to modernise all 3 arms of it's military. It will have plenty of submarines that it can use to break any blockade. BD will focus mainly on submarines as it has little need for large surface combatants.

Rofl, why you are in so much delusion, ok even if BD succeed in cut off the NE, then what about NH 99 or NH 77, which connect the skkim via nepal, how you counter that?

India is armed to its teeth.
Myanmar currently has a superior Air Force than bdesh and its army is battle hardened compared to Bdesh current army which is only getting experience through UNPKF deployments.

You are assuming 2 decades from now India will be stagnant in military expenditure.

We will also have 30 subs by that time. 4 CBG. 800 Fighters.

We will expand more rapidly than you will even 2 decades from now.

the military gap between India and Bangladesh will only increase and not decrease as you are assuming.

If BD cuts off NE we will cut off Chittagong from Dhaka.

Dude - BD has no interest in starting anything.

As long as India is a good neighbour, BD does not need to cut it in two. If it starts misbehaving then BD can hurt India badly.

The "chickens-neck" will always give BD an advantage over India.

In 20 years time, BD should have an air-force with around 200 modern fighters - enough to fend off the forces that India can array against BD. Remember you will need to keep a lot of forces stationed against Pakistan and China - Pakistan would take any opportunity to take Kashmir and China wants Arunchal.

whatever Air Force assets deployed against China can be turned towards Bangladesh as well.

Its up for Bangladesh to behave not vice versa.

We have a lot of forces stationed against Pak and China. and plenty against Bdesh as well though not needed as long as our own Hasina is ruling

Bro, then there will be always an Indian advantage of an all out war, so dont worry about that.

There are more Indian army soldier and armored regiment deploy, then of whole BD, even if you cut the chicken neck ( which is even not possible, and thats for sake of argument) for stopping supplies to NE, then even we have contingency plans to connect north east via NH77 and NH 99.
And then starts the main offensive in mainland BD, and bro dont worry, if its come to national security, we will arm Burma, even some hundreds of Brahmos and Agni-1 will be enough for Burma to start an offensive in your eastern side.

 

[ni8mare]

Newbie - you must have missed the part where I stated that once BD modernises it's military then can it think of threatening to cut off the chicken's neck.

what about BD chicken's neck?

so you are saying this will take place 2 decades later and india will not have ability to arm Myanmar at that time ..strange

Hasina wont be there is 2 decades dude.

Take away your forces from China and the Chinese roll into Arunchal.

Myanmar is well able to arm itself without any help from India. It has both the money and the supplier.

Bro,actually comparing 20 years BD with current one India,

please compare 20 yrs after India with 20 yrs after BD, Compare wisely and be calm.

If BD cuts off NE we will cut off Chittagong from Dhaka.

plus 5th gen planes..
according to him india will stop modernizing and remain as it now the current strength his illusion is that india will not progress develop or increase its strength so all this BS

 

[Etilla]

Hasina wont be there is 2 decades dude.

The Su-30MKI at Tezpur can reach BD within minutes.
Pick off your air force in minutes.

Clearing path for Jaguars to bomb the hell out of your ground troops.

Proceeded by a counter punch by Assam rifles and BSF.

Troops at China border stay where they are.

Awami League will always be there.

Neither will Khalda Zia be there after 2 decades.

Also after 2 decades it is the PAK-FA which will be at Tezpur.

Surely the PAK-FA will take even less time cleaning house vis-a-vis BD Air Force

I am thinking about 20 years from now of both India and BD dude.

BD will fully modernise its military by then and will be mainly using Chinese weapons.

India will use a mix of Russian, US, French, Jewish and domestic systems.

BD is not an insignificant state as it is almost as large as Pakistan. Once it starts using its economy to fund a proper military, then they should be as powerful as all Indian forces that surround BD.

Anyway, I don't think that India will lose the NE by any military invasion, much more likely that the people of the NE will lose interest in the Indian Union and will join China, BD and/or go independent.
