According to PSBD Army Aviation is planning to acquire 2 new Bell helicopters. Bangladesh Police is also on the process of procuring a single new Bell helicopter. Rumor is that Bell 429 and the 412 are frontrunners for the pick!

Lol, BD doesn't need any fighters capable of taking on Rafale and Su-30MKI when the base is so close TRG-300 can destroy it completely. All it has to do is target every single hardened structure being built with 1 or 2 rockets.

Just checked on Google Earth:

Tezpur - Needs 300km T-300A that BD is considering.

Chabua - Too far away and BD will need to look at cruise/ballistic missile strikes here.

Hasimara - Can be targeted by 120km range T-300B that BD has placed order for.

What would be the best strategy? Take out the bunkers or take out the runways?

Now with runways you could launch a barrage and then double tap an hour or two later killing everyone repairing it and prevent repair of it again.

Using about 5 Kasirgas you could take out more or less the whole runway by individually targeting each missile. In a few hours after reloading the vehicles and scooting the vehicles a few miles away the same amount of missiles could be launched again targeting the exact same locations thereby killing repair crews, and destroying equipment.

Could this work?

From some recent pictures comparing with the olds, it makes a clear sense that Bangladesh Army is upgrading the Yugoslavian 105mm M56 howitzer; some of those have been spotted in the recent hardware exhibitions. The upgraded M56 howitzer, known as M56/33 also, has many changes in it comparing to the regular M56 howitzers which provide better service. A brief description is given below for being easily understandable.

Upgradation kit:

1. New 33-caliber barrel replacing the old 28-caliber barrel;
2. New double buffle muzzle break;
3.New breech and breech block;
4. Modified pneumatic equilibrator &
5. Additional weight on trails.

Advantages:

1. Increased firing range by using new HE-ER BB shell with 18.1 km range (old one had 16.6 km range) and new HE-ER BT shell coving the distance of 15 km (old shell had 14.5 km range);

2. Capability of firing all 105mm NATO rounds;
3. Upgradation kit weights only 233 kg which is only 11% of standard M56 howitzer &
4. Upgrade operations are carried out locally.

Bangladesh Army operated several models of 120mm mortars. One of those is Brandt AM50, made in France. Bangladesh Army used three types of shells in the system- M44 HE rounds, MK62 illuminating (ILLUM) rounds and MK62 smoke rounds. The range of the mortar is 6.3 km. These mortars are in reserve at present.

About the Type 83 122mm howitzers of the Bangladesh Arrmy

Type 83 is a 122mm gun howitzer developed in China. The Bangladesh Army purchased these weapons as an add-on to the Type 54-1 regiments that are already in service.

A standard artillery brigade normally has three artillery regiments including two field regiment artillery. Amongst those two FRAs one of the regiment is equipped with 105mm howitzers and the other one is allocated the 122mm howitzers. The third regiment is usually armed with 155mm or 130mm howitzers for counter battery engagement and offensive fire missions.

The Type 83 has a range of 19 km and can be fired at a rate of 8 rounds per minute manned by a crew of 8 artillerymen.

The weapon is suitable for use in paddy fields and soft terrain where Type 96 guns with tri-legs have difficulties.

The total weight of the gun system is 2.7 tons and is transported by 3 ton class army trucks such as IVECO or Mercedes Benz.

The Bangladesh Army maintains over 20 of these guns. Further units were not ordered as there was preference for Type 96 howitzers.

Don't worry about Pakistanis. As resident dada @Joe Shearer would say: "Logic is not Green Chaddi's strongest suit".

It seems you ppl underestimate the power of India too much.... Agreed kasirga is a capable system but do you know what amount of armoured / mechanised forces India can deploy to take on BD? Mere site of those regiments will make BD change its mind to use kasirga..... Even if they still dare and destroy 2/3 air bases can you even imagine India's response??? Indian shivalik, satpura, nilgiri, talwar, tabar, tarkash class warships will block sea lanes of BD.... They will start taking out BD warships one by one with those crazy brahmos, harpoons, excoset.... Any BD air challenge will be answered by Barak 8 missile Sam on those vls capable warships.... From land bases too India will start taking out bases after bases with those crazy brahmos..... Trust me in no time BD will be sitting on negotiation table with India and agree on the terms India will set for him....
