Bangladesh Army

Our armed forces assisted in distribution - there were no press coverage . But if some political leader from a small part of the country distributed 50 packets of rice , he/she gets national coverage for 5 days !!

Everyone knows these ex-Goonda scumbags are just fishing for more votes.

Hopefully the electorate gets even more educated, elects proper public servants and sends these goondas back to jail where they really belong.

In last Dhaka city corporation election I think only 5% people voted . So yeah people are aware in city areas . But no good person to vote for .

Once the law and order situation gets more stable, there will be more decent entrants into the political sphere. more educated entrants from civil society. The problem is that too many of the talented folks left Bangladesh and stayed overseas because the local situation was so hopeless fifteen/twenty years ago. These folks will get back home when they get older. Together with better economy, a better civil society and better political leaders will hopefully form.

The top level leadership in Bangladesh is not accountable because they depend on the goondas for grassroots support. Corruption breeds corruption. The time of the chal-chor/daal-chor uneducated goondas are coming to an end.

Bangladesh ordnance factory will produce British L-6 mortar.

Bangladesh due to its terrain should have around 1000 Light Tanks plus lot of Anti Tank vehicles like Japan and Italy has

Bangladesh is buying vt5 for this, next tank might be heavier MBTs, altay is being preferred in preliminary considerations... anti tank rockets and missiles are emphasized on too and already purchased. There’s no way an enemy can launch an armored invasion in bd

Altay who the hell in Bangladesh is even considering Altay. Bangladesh should focus on getting VT 5 and Kaplan Medium Tank and in heavy category T 90 or if more expensive than Type 10 of Japan. Altay is way too heavy

Altay who the hell in India is even considering Altay. Bangladesh should focus on getting VT 5 and Kaplan Medium Tank and in heavy category T 90 or if more expensive than Type 10 of Japan. Altay is way too heavy

VT5 and Kaplan are in the same lightweight class - 35 tons.

Bangladesh already fulfilled light weight tank requirement with VT5 (deliveries will commence later this year, or maybe next year due to covid19 delay), chances of our army getting Kaplan are a lot less now (unless there are serious issues with VT5).

For Medium weight tank requirement (which will be the elite tank for elite army units), I don't see us moving beyond this weight class, except (like you said - maybe getting highly-mobile wheeled tank destroyers with larger caliber guns). So in this 45-49 ton middle-weight class Type 10 (with ToT) can be a very good (yet expensive) choice at 45 tons. Japan's Type 90 is predecessor of Type 10 and will soon be put into reserve units (if not already). But Japan has stringent export bans.

Turkey wanted to use the Type 10 as a power package template for Altay before they went to Hyundai Rotem for technical input on the design and engine. Altay is way too heavy in my opinion to be called a middle-weight tank (65 tons) and weighs the same as Arjun MK.II. most bridges in Bangladesh, (if they still exist at time of conflict) cannot support these heavyweight tanks.

Indian Army T-90S Bhishma tanks weigh a lot less (45 tons - as they are modernized T-72's), so that will be our goal to counter as tank adversary (if at all) for other than North Bengal area where rivers are not big obstacles. But like @Michael Corleone bhai said, any adversary will need to think twice before launching an armored invasion in Bangladesh especially in the wet season. There is a reason Indian Army waited until December to come into Bangladesh in 1971 (Manekshaw knew), you can't fight a traditional skirmish in our local conditions. We know our local conditions - our adversary will need time to figure them out.

Tanks are a selective tool for selective situations (hidden ambush in our scenario), they are not usable in our country in an open terrain or urban middle-east type scenario because of TOW missile and RPG vulnerabilities. There is only so much you can do - to defend tanks, using ERA and dumb Bar armor. if Myanmarese or Indian armored brigades invade our territory, they will have considerable losses in spite of Kontakt ERA armor.

Pressure exerted on ground per square inch and power to weight are more important factors. Weight alone won’t help to avoid performance issues.

The Indians faced problems bringing in their light amphibious tanks because they got bogged down in the deltas and the bridges at the time were already sabotaged early in the war.
Idk the weight limit of major Bangladeshi bridges but I reckon train and road network will be used as much as possible avoiding the bridges.
The military now wants the best options and not just rely on China and Russia, so China and Russia has to compete harder to win future tenders

Axle load of most highways & bridges in Bangladesh stands between 25-35 tons.

BD is IFV & assault vehicle territory. I hope BA gets a good number of tank destroyer/ assault vehicle fleet.

Right, until we see some photos of HISAR-O and SY-400 or hear any announcement; we can't trust any report. Although news about SY-400 was reported in 2017 and HISAR-O haven't even entered mass production.
