Bangladesh Army

What are the main rifle types in the subcontinent (as well as Myanmar) and how does our standard rifle compare to theirs?

Don't know what the bamars use. Their troops seems to use a variety of them, most of them looks really old & ill maintained.
Pakistan uses HK G3 & type 56 (replacement under progresse)
Sri Lanka Mostly Type 56, AK & interestingly M16 for marines from US.Thai Army uses the M16.

When it comes standard issue rifles in subcontinental militaries BD-08 is equal to them performance wise. It's much better compared to AK47 or Type 56 assault rifles.

Appreciate your reply as I am not exactly a gun expert.

Me neither bro. Just sharing something that are being 'whispered' around 'here & there'

The number bought will be quiet significant. So local manufacturing is a strong possibility. (A must if regular infantry are put into the equation). I hope to see AK, CZ Bren, Beretta ARX in the trial.

Is there any sort of plan to replace BD-08 as the standard issue service rifle already?

No. This is primarily for the special forces and Type 56 replacement. But this latest SMG won't come to service before 2020. In the meantime BD-08 will be produced 15k per year to replace remaining old SKS in service with BGB etc.

Though I expect BD-08 replacement process to begin by 2025.

বাংলাদেশ সেনাবাহিনী আরো ২ টি Landing Craft Tank (LCT) কিনতে যাচ্ছে।এই নিয়ে তারা দরপত্র আহ্বান করেছে।

এগুলো দেশে নির্মান করা হবে অথবা বিদেশ থেকে কেনা হবে।সেনাবাহিনী এর আগেও আরো ২ বার LCT কেনার দরপত্র আহ্বান করেছে।

সেনাবাহিনীর কাছে বর্তমানে ২ টি LCT আছে এবং আরো ২ টি নির্মাণাধীন আছে। এছাড়া খুব শীঘ্রই আরো ৪ টি বানানো হবে এই দুই টেন্ডারের অধীনে এবং এগুলো খুব সম্ভবত Western Marine Shipyard Limited বানাবে।

সেনাবাহিনী এরকম প্রায় ১২ টির মত LCT কিনবে।প্রতিটি LCT প্রায় ৪/৫ টি ট্যাংক, সাঁজোয়া যান এবং সশস্ত্র সেনা বহন করতে সক্ষম

Who said anything about it being replaced?? That tender is for school of infantry.

I thought BA was dissatisfied with PF-98.

Why is Swedish product? Don't you guys terrified of Sweden's military adventure in Bangladesh? Love of Russia is coming from the rear end of the military planner. Even DGDP was happily doing typos like Russia-1 blah blah in the UAV tender.
Bangladesh Navy realised that all the Sh$%t they bought China does work but not like the Italian Leonardo and German Dornier GmbH.
Army will soon realise that there is a word called "Quality". And when comes to quality, China and Russia can't beat Europeans ad Americans.
Syria fired 25 Pantsir-S1 missiles to shootdown one Israeli F-16. Now think about the hit probability Russian Sh$%t. Syria fired a countless Russian-made SA-5 missile but could not intercept a single Storm Shadow /Scalp or even age-old Tornado GR4.
It's a matter of time, BAF will realise soon that the Sh$%t, they are planning to buy will never fly. Ask our Indian neighbour!

That's an interesting view. I somewhat agree to it too. Chinese and Russians cannot compete with Europeans on quality ground. I've lived in Europe myself for years now, and I can say from their grass cutting machine in the ground to planes in the sky, everything is about quality.

The reason we go for Chinese is mainly due to strategic interest, geographical proximity, affordability and huge economic relationship. As for Russians, I really dont get why. Probably, to tither heavy up the pockets or heavy up the stomach (hint BAF chief).
