Bangladesh Army awards $1 billion APC contract to Turkey

[BDforever]

The Bangladesh Armed Forces and General Directorate of Police have awarded two separate armored personnel carrier contracts to Turkish "Delta Defense Defense Sanayii A.Ş.". The company represents the appropriate version of the 6TD tank engine, which is being procured from Ukraine for the Altay main battle tank. This time, the company has adapted the DOZER B vehicles produced in Ukraine to the Bangladesh tender specifications and designated the new version as TUR-K. According to the information we obtained from the company, Delta Defence has won the armored personnel carrier tender which was issued by General Directorate of Security in Bangladesh and the Armed Forces. The company presented the changes on Ukraine's DOZER B requested by the Bangladesh Armed Forces through TUR-K2 version. The vehicles that successfully passed the tests were accepted by the service. The company will deliver 100 DOZER-B TUR-K2 to the armed forces in 2018, 150 in 2019 and a total of 600 in five years. On the other hand, the company will deliver the first two orders of the TUR-K3 version, the 6x6 armored personnel carrier, within nine months. The service will purchase 80 vehicles. The export contract has a value of approximately $1 billion.

The 6TD is not procured for the Altay MBT and the TUR-K2 is probably the DOZER B with Turkish subsystems/weapon systems so,BD is procuring 600 DOZER B TUR-K2 from Ukraine in five years at the cost of $1 billion.

BDMilitary is a not source but rumor mill and your are their official propaganda moth piece. Show official army or government source. How $1 billion worth APC had been justified? And who can say these are actually worth $1 billion? Just like any other defense purchase, most, if not half of that amount, are inflated price for looting purpose.

As far as i understand, Delta Defense is playing the middle man between Bangladesh and Ukroboronprom by managing paper work.
