Can't the liberated people of Bangladesh even build their own tanks after 44-years of independence?

I don't think Bangladeshis need any liberation...they got liberated and are doing really well in many parameters than their previous partner. Nations have their own priorities, I think Bangladesh has chosen for socio economic development prior to other issues. Bangladesh has excelled in primary education, economy has been stable. Furthermore,unlike Pakistan it doesn't have any serious terrorism threat nor does it have any hostile neighbour. It has always been a stable democracy with no successful coups by the armed forces. Relations with India and Myanmar is much better than what Pakistan has with its neighbour.
yes Bangladesh doing very well with the blessing of mother India. Bangladesh became a very poor country under ruthless Punjabi Muslims before 1971, but after 1971 Bangladesh is advancing like crazy because of India. the latest achievement is the last election, which was the fairest election ever in this land including East Pakistan time. now this popularly elected government is hanging and killing all opposition leaders one by one who are the pro-Muslim and rapists. also our borders are safe and our nationals are never attacked by Indian BSF. our jute has been bringing us gold. before 1971 the West Pakistanis used to steal all that gold from us.

Killing Bangladeshis in 71 war. Diverting BD foreign currency and aid, food, sanitation. Not providing defence equipment. Not providing infrastructure. Not giving power to elected Bengalis. Discrimination etc. Effects of war torn country for many years.
the first killings were started by pro-Indian rascals (rascal being a political term here). allegation of diverting BD foreign currency is total lie (privately owned profits were probably re-invested in West Pakistan as WP gave better political climate unlike the EP infested with leftist wild animals). there were various questions regarding the moral integrity of Awami League-leftists, but still process to hand over power to Mujib was going on. Bengali statesmen had led United Pakistan on a number of occasions before. many Awami Leaguers secretly did not want Sheikh Mujib to lead United Pakistan anyways, but wanted to become an Indian prison state called 'Bangladesh'. it became obvious afterwards didn't it? be honest with yourself. such complains that West Pakistanis did not do this and did not do that are just a cover-up. the ultimate aim of the far-leftists was to become a basket case and an Indian vassal, because of their extreme ideology including the mindless hatred of Muslims' identity and history.
 
Al Zarar is an updated type 59 and the upgrade was exported to Bangladesh.

No the type 59s in Bangladesh have not been upgraded to Al Zarar, they are being upgraded to type 59g with help from China.

This is not Al Zarrar which we have now
 
Throughout its existence, the Bangladesh Army has had to contend with severe shortages of weapons, communications equipment, spare parts, and transport vehicles. One 1982 report maintained that target practice--a basic military skill--was restricted because of ammunition shortages. Under these conditions, it is doubtful the army could fight a conventional war for more than a few days without massive assistance from a foreign power.

The government took initiatives in 2003 to buy tanks for the army, but that initiative did not see the light of day due to budgetary limitations. The government was supposed to buy seven tanks in 2010 and seven more in 2011. But only a Chinese company took part in the tender, the government cancelled it, and re-invited tender in which four companies from China, Russia, Ukraine, and Pakistan participated

Bangladesh Army acquiring Al-Khalid Tank

The term Al-Khalid tank (Urdu: الخالد ٹینک‎—Al-Xālid Ṫaiŋk, pronounced [əl-ˈxɑːlɪd̪ ʈæːŋk]lit. The Immortal Tank) and MBT-2000 refers to the jointly developed variants of a modern main battle tank by Pakistan and China during the 1990s

About 300 Al-Khalid tanks were in service with the Pakistan Army as of 2009. The Bangladesh Army ordered 44 MBT-2000s in 2011. The tank is also used by the Royal Moroccan Army

A report of the Army, analyzing the allocations and expenditures of the past four fiscal years was placed before the parliamentary standing committee on defence ministry on 28 May 2009. The report identifies insufficient funding as the “key problem” to starting replacement of outdated weaponry. “Most of Bangladesh weapons are from the 1960s and ’70s, which belittles our overall military prowess,” it said. According to the report, 90.3 percent small arms and 89 percent field artillery guns used by the army were bought during 1960s-80s while all the tanks are from that period

The Bangladesh Army has begun inducting fourth-generation Pakistani made MTB-2000 (Al Khalid tanks) Bangladesh has placed an order for 44 MBT2000 tanks. The deal is worth $162 million. In January 2014 it was erroneously reported that the Bangladesh army was in the process of procuring "2,000 Main Battle Tanks" from Pakistan & China at the cost of 162 million dollars. The MBT2000 is the Al Khalid tanks, in the service of the Pakistan army since 2001. This was the first time Bangladesh has obtained newly assembled Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). The existence of the main battle tank Type 90-II MBT (also called MBT 2000) was first revealed in late 1991. Pakistan's Al Khalid (MBT2000) tank performance close to the India T90S

Yes Pakistan should help Bangladesh Army in training and China can help them financially. A strong and pro Pakistan Bangladesh would be very good as that will mean our neighbors will then have to train for a 3 front war.
 
Truth is that Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmiris, Indian Sikhs, Indian Muslims and Other Minorities in India are Oppressed Sick & Tired of India and Indian Super Rich Elite

Mate, stop with all the smileys and the capitalizing of every word. It's like you're still living in the times of MySpace and Bebo.
 
Myanmar didn't even buy these tanks.They only took it for testing
 
Can't the liberated people of Bangladesh even build their own tanks after 44-years of independence?


Are they really liberated in the true sense, given Sheikh Hasina slavery to India, had a detrimental effect on Bengladesh, and the Bengalis psyche.

The only good thing Bengalis did, was not to become part of Akhund Bharat, infact a separate Bengladesh.
 
What Bangladesh will achieve by spending money in Army? There is no threat for them. They are improving their economy and should continue to do so.

@ Why you are making "Moshkara" with our country ?

@ Definitely, I fully recognize that our army has been organize and developed from a rudimentary stage by Pakistan during the initial days (after 1975). But presently, I think it is now stopped for obvious reasons !
 
Building tanks needs heavy engineering infrastructure (heavy forging presses and massive boring, milling and broaching machines) - which exists here in a rudimentary sense (Joydevpur Machine tools factory and Army Complex)) but could not support the building of complete artillery guns and tanks. It is much easier and less costly to source tanks from China and (someday) Pakistan.

You can't just invest in heavy engg. factory like Pakistan's HIT or India's HEC (Heavy Engg. Complex) just on a whim. India's HEC is still a sick industry bankrupt for many years despite India's industrial needs. lately it is a bit more profitable. Take a look.

How often will Bangladesh need an industrial capability to machine something this size?

Or forge something this size?

In any case - I'm sure the Army will take steps at the right time to invest in manufacturing heavy components for whole tanks or armaments components or for industry if it thinks manufacturing is feasible profit-wise or tank population is large enough to warrant this. Bangladesh does not need to invest in frivolous projects just to invest in armaments...importing a few pieces is okay....
