Bangladesh Army

[Destranator]

Can Walton start producing radars in Bangladesh or is that out of their capabilities?

They are not a defence or signalling company.

 

[Philip the Arab]

They are not a defence or signalling company.

Is there a defense company in Bangladesh that specialized in electronics?

No local companies. At least not yet.
All defence production and R&D (limited) are managed by the military.

All local defence equipment contractors are local agents for foreign companies.

 

[Michael Corleone]

What internet fan boys say is irrelevant as talking out of our rears is our national sport.
The 10 area commands make up 90%+ of the strength with troop levels in each hovering around 15-20k troops. Strength is currently hovering around 200K mark.
Ask any senior army officer.

New divisions coming up. Existing converted to mechanized slowly. I would have no worries have even 200k if the infantry is mechanized and artillery is expanded

I don’t remember he name but a private defence company sold some sort of sensors to india.
If someone remembers please mention

Passing out parade for new recruits to the army in Bhatiary, Chittagong. Not privy to the event details.

Dad is already an Army man and both parents happy for their young son in the Army (looks like he did have para-commando training).

Parachutist not paracommando. Can't train basic and specialist commando at the same time.

Yep. Commandos wear red beret

Raised his son well looks like.

Proud parents and they deserve accolades.

Not an Army man myself. Learned something new today my older army bhais never taught me.

Two of them were Lieutenant Colonels before they left Bangladesh.

Well, red/brown berets in BA are not exclusive to the 1st Parracommando brigade as AMC, ADC, and CMP also wear them. Besides, qualified commandos deployed outside of 1st Paracimmando Brigade do not necessarily wear red/brown berets as the colour is dictated by the unit they are deployed to. All commandos have a parent corp.

The definitive way to identify a commando qualified soldier is to look for the commando patch on the upper arm as they wear this regardless of what unit they are deployed to.
If they are deployed to the first parracommando brigade, they also wear the light brown berret with the unit insignita and shoulder rank badges stating "COMMANDO" next to ranks.

Commando assigned to 1st Parracommando Brigade:
