Bangladesh Army

Nope, no government( either BNP or BAL) will not say a single syllable in case of a war between the two. The taking sides is just absurd & self destructive & both the parties knows it.

In case anyone haven't noticed, it will be a major breech of our constitution & our long standing foreign policy of non alignment & neutrality in internationally polarising matters.

Anyway this discussion is offtopic in this thread, so I will refrain from further replies.

It relates to BD military and their position on regional affairs.

Yes, it indeed is a matter to BD defence & strategy, but not particularly related to BD Army.

And as a constitutional democracy army is just a arm to the democratic government, so they don't have the freedom or privilege to decide by themselves rather follow the decision of the legislative/executive branch of the state. So no BD Army won't do anything or say anything in case of a war among our two neighbors. I hope that clears up your questions.

Again a big no.
Google & read the news on her stance on the recent LOC clashes. It's also posted in PDF. You might have to dig a bit. You will understand how BD as a state works.
I won't repliy further.Regards.

We can only hope for the best but BD should not depend on India too much.

I don't think all these equipments are going to raise a single division.
We are raising three new divisions simultaneously.

+10'th Division :- Ramu
+17'th Division :- Sylhet
+ xx' th Division :- Patuakhali( Just declared,still on the planning phase,physical work to raise will take six seven months)

So lots of new units to equip. I think they are dividing the numbers in three parts. Every part is going to a different division to start up.

Last year I posted that SF/Para/Airborne strength will be raised to a full brigade strength. Looks like the initial proposal have been accepted by gov.

So time for next step of my hints. Prepare to see a full airborne division by 2025 & 1 Para will have few more brothers in arms & raised to a full brigade.

SF units in Brigade level instead of Division level by 2021.

Cheers.

how many tactical transport aircraft you had, 2 to 4 hercules is not enough to cater the needs of 1 full strength para brigades.....

need at least 32 hercules and 32 CN235 for full brigade assault along with logistic dropping

 

[bd_4_ever]

What's the current estimate 300k?

Current estimate has not touched 300K I think. My guess its around the range of 250K-275K. However, I am being very modest in my guess and can be wrong.
