Bangladesh Army select Turkish Hisar-o as MRSAM

[Arthur]

Don't think this news is true for the moment.

For reasons,

1. Unverified news is LY 80 is almost confirmed since Army wants mid range SAMs in service by next year.

2. This news says, it's a battalion level system. For now Army already designated RBS 70 & Orelikon systems as battalion level AD.

We are little short in budget to designate a full blown AD SAM in battalion level.

But Hisar has a good chance in the future in Brigade/Division level. Our Early warning/AD radar systems are mostly going to be। from EU.

Deploying a NATO grade system in South Eastern -South western region makes sense from that point.

While Chinese system will be the workhorse, EU/Turkish systems will form the core. Kind of a high-low mix.

Hisar means Fortress And tower in Turkish. For example Rumeli Hisarı https://images.app.goo.gl/jy4xUo4ghq1vMAb86

cool.

in Urdu its loosely translated as a circle or boundary

Interesting... look, it means castle in arabic too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hissar
It came from arabic to Turkish and Urdu most probably but it looks like you guys change its meaning a little bit.

Hisar-A completed the final trials and passed into serial production phase. Hisar-O will complete the trials in next year.

OK. The news is false then.

No, the news is not false. Read it from another source below. Many other sources also are saying of this induction. The news below contains also many other important defence purchases from Turkey.

South Asian Monitor copies BD Military.

Turkish defence sources also verify the sales, not only Hisar-O but at the same time sales includes Hisar-A so it makes sense for now because Hisar-O is not ready yet but Hisar-A is.

what's he saying brother??

 

[xbat]

what's he saying brother??

Hisar is exported before serving in Turkish inventory. A brotherly country in Asia purchased HisarA and Hisar O

 

[xbat]

He is inside defence industry, so we can accept him as a reliable source.

Bangladesh now a supa pawa after purchase of next generation air defense system...

As The Ronin says, the copied BD Military. Hisar is not even in production yet. How can a military buy it when something is not even in production. They don't even know it's performance until it's fully tested and operational. And remember Syed Abal Khan from BD Military is the most unreliable liar out there.

 

[xbat]

sales also includes Hisar-A so it makes sense, may be some of Bangladesh officers showed up at final Hisar-A tests.

btw Hisar A and Hisar O shares many common subsystems, Hisar-O will have active RF seeker head beside IIR head. after completion of Hisar-A tests they have enough data about Hisar-O performance.

 

[Turan09]

I would like that to happen, really. But probably fake news... Hisar-O isn't ready and first orders of Hisar-A and Hisar-O will be for Turkish Army... There is a huge demand for air defence.
Maybe after that, after We have enough Hisar, we can think about exports, but not now. And would it be logical if a country just select a prototype for his own army? This is another question.

Whether this particular rumor is true or not @UKBengali looks like he was correct.

Bangladesh may become a sizeable customer for Turkish defence systems going forward.

InshAllah.
