Bangladesh Army

How do you know they're not? Available i.e. I am sure they know more about themselves than us
But they are not using them, till now. Army dealing with this type situation not very long less than one year.

News reports saying - the Army used a drone made my SUST students to scope out the building.
yea they have used one drone for the very first time.
 
.
This is why they used it...The team leader did a demo of his drone and system in January for the army.

He actually made a post hinting at his involvement...and as you can see from the comments...people told him to zip it :lol:
 
. . . .
this operation was a "message to the rest of the world" about Bangladesh's military capabilities....
the sheer quality and professionalism shown in this operation should earn respect of other nations....
the prestige of this state has been elevated through this operation and should give a warning to anyone outside or inside with the intention of causing harm to this state....

through this operation and the one conducted at Holey Artisan Bakery, Bangladesh Army has shown how much can be achieved if confidence on your own abilities is established.... the subservient days are over when it used to be propagated that 'our military capabilities are poor'....

this "message" goes with the words uttered by the PM during the inauguration of the submarines on 12th March.... "if attacked, we have the capabilities to give a proper response"

Army did a fascinating job (specially with the civilians stuck in the building).
However I have a question in regards to how we approach these dens to the people here who has more knowledge about defense.

In the west, they usually have armed police, once they have suspicion or is confirmed about a position of a suspected criminals, they would silently enter the building, barge into the apartment and arrest or shoot the criminals before they can get ready. What stops us from using that tactics in Bangladesh? Why do we announce it with a mic and let them prepare for hours?

We would do the same if these were your standard criminals...but, Islamist terrorists are a completely different breed and pose a completely different threat.

Most criminals don't want to die and self preservation tends to be their No.1 priority.

These savages think they'll be getting 70 odd virgins to mess around with (what do the women get?) - in such cases...the danger for the authorities and the civilians is much, much higher.

SWAT have been taking care of most of the encounters in the past 6-7 months, but with close to 80 civilians in the building - I guess the authorities felt the Para-commandos were better equipped to deal with them.

reminds me how back in 20th century how SAS established dominance and earned respect of all major global powers... we can observe similar trends with ours SF atm

because the US based mobs aren't as heavily armed or militarised or trained in such a way that they would pose a huge blow to their force... also their police is more militarised which is not a good sign as you can see with the police brutality complaints you can hear occasionally.... in our country police is a seperate institution from military... that's why we have RAB which bridges the gap between police and army.... although we have SWAT teams etc... they're mostly employed from the army as are most officers of RAB.

Now days RAB only using for depoly general security purpose but years ago this elite force used to restraint militants. BD needs to increase capability of our armed Police forces becoz climate are changed.

RAB has to date been involved in every terrorist encounter - after all RAB intelligence Chief Lt. Col. Azad is fighting for his life after being hurt in the bomb blast in Sylhet the other day.

SWAT and the Para-Commandos have come to the fore when specific and prolonged operations have been undertaken.

RAB is still very much the tip of the spear when it comes to tackling militants (a large number of the militants captured alive were busted by RAB)
