Bangladesh Army

Bd needs to have decent automotive industry before starting to developed their Armor... Sure you can skip the phase but on long run it was ordinary soldier on the field who will maintain them or else you will end up like most of middle eastern countries. Take a notes and correlation, China, South Korea, India, Japan, Turkey and new player like Indonesia, Thailand all have decent Automotive industries and culture to backing them up

The military now makes their own trucks besides the new ones they buy now and then... rest all, automotive industry is bd is mostly about assembling than manufacturing all of the component in house.
Toyota for ex has their plant in Thailand which actually assembles all the parts that's made in Japan and Indonesia and ships them to Middle East for ex.

Even the number of vehicles assembled in your country is too small to begin with

well ofc, you guys require them in large numbers and hence it makes sense to make more of these things in house.

Good! Means we can source some parts-wise and maybe even arrange for ToT.

That being said- assembling LAV is not rocket science (welding, cast parts and armor tech other than critical boring for barrels), but for some reason we have neglected this so far. There are some parts for tanks (especially Type 59G upgrade) made locally as well.

HIT got large amounts of funding from successive Army-controlled administrations in Pakistan but we of course neglected this sector.

We are by the way the largest operator of BTR-80s outside Russia (1000 plus). There may already be a BTR-80 overhaul factory locally or one near completion.

If we are buying so many LAV from Turkey, would've made sense to get ToT with it.

We can still negotiate with the Turkish firms AFAIK for such a large order which has to be broken up in stages of supply.
