Russia, Bangladesh to co-build BTR-80 maintenance plant
Bangladesh is building a repair-maintenance facility for Arzamas Machinery Plant BTR-80 armoured personnel carriers with Russian assistance, a Rosoboronexport official told Russian media on 20 February.

Nikolay Dimidyuk told Arms-Tass the facility would be similar to one built in South Korea to service BTR-80As and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles that South Korea procured in the 1990s and 2000s.

The contract for the Bangladesh facility was signed in December 2012 and will be built in about 18 months, said Dimidyuk, who added that it would service about 600 BTR-80s that Russia had sold to Bangladesh. In December Russia also signed a contract to supply 120 9K115-2 Metis-M (AT-13 'Saxhorn-2') anti-tank guided missile systems to Dhaka.
 
Defense Updates: NORINCO PLZ91 / PLZ45 Self Propelled Gun / Howitzer artillery system

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012
NORINCO PLZ91 / PLZ45 Self Propelled Gun / Howitzer artillery system

The PLZ45 is the export designation of the PLZ91 tracked Self-Propelled Gun / Howitzer and developed by China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) as a replacement for the 152 mm PLZ83.

The PLZ45 comes equipped with the same 45 caliber 155 mm gun found in the Type 89 or PLL01 towed gun / howitzer. The gun has a maximum rate of fire of 5 rounds per minute and is compatible with all standard 155 mm NATO rounds.

The PLZ45 carries 30 rounds with 30 charges of ammunition. The turret can traverse 360 degrees and comes with a semi-automatic loader. It also carries a 12.7 mm anti-aircraft gun and two sets of four-barrel grenade launchers.

The PLZ45 has been exported to Bangladesh, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. However, except for limited numbers in a single battalion for training purposes, the PLZ91 has not been adopted by the Chinese army. Its role has been superseded in China by the more powerful PLZ-05 with a longer 54 caliber 155 mm gun.
