Bangladesh Army

Point well taken. No one (least myself) is suggesting we match Indian armor piece to piece. It is improbable.

What I suggested is that qualitatively we need to improve so interlopers have second thoughts about an 'easy' walk in and take-over. To have an effective anti-tank force we need to have more than RPG's and PF-98's. Just as an example, we don't have tank destroyers with with greater strategic mobility, such as the B1 Centauro.

agreed.

With only a first GEN infantry/cruiser tank (now being upgraded, Type 59

i wouldn't insult it in that way... a second gen at most stock....

maybe a 2+ GEN (Chinese MBT 2000's), we are

these can be compared to a third gen MBT as their chassis are based on t72s

the idea is since our military is mostly a defensive force, more emphasis is being placed on anti tank... and with recent wars they've proved to be superior to any tank threats... without next gen tech leap in tank technology... it would be a waste to buy many for now

I have never heard of Teknaf news...

I guess the readership in Teknaf is mature enough these days.

Or - like Trump says, this could be a fake news outlet sponsored by the Tatmadaw.

Brother @LKJ86 had posted this late last year, don't know if Bangladeshis here saw this Norinco Video about Thailand Army VT-4 induction....

Micro-Drone induction last year for Bangladesh - supplier was Turkish firm. I believe 500 were inducted with networked command and control structure. Ignore the bad narration in Bengali.

Recently the Army put up a tender regarding LCTs, TCV and Command vessels. The LCTs are specified as being river going vessels, and will be able to carry 8 MBT200s and will have a helipad. They will be getting 2 of them.

The troop carrying vessel will be able to carry 200 troops and we will be getting 3 of them. They will also be seaworthy upto sea-state 4.

The command vessels(4 on order) will be able to carry 35 personnels plus 1 jeep and 1 pickup and they will also be seaworthy up to sea-state 4.

The Army seems to really stepping up in building up their riverine force. Granted none of them are offensive, they seem to be integrating and utilizing rivers into their operational plans
