What's new

Bangladesh has started upgrading Type-59 tank locally

You need to have at least 500 + Tanks like MBT 2000 or Type 99 or another Tank like that

People need to understand that these upgraded tanks are almost as good as MBT-2000.

They have new gun, electronics, engine and armour.

When the process is complete, BD will have maybe nearly a thousand tanks, all of which can destroy any advancing Indian tank.

These tanks are not required for Myanmar and so this is a message to India not try anything funny.:enjoy:

I wonder why only 300 upgraded type-59G should jitter the confidence of Indians when the have type-96 in huge quantity? So, @BDforever the number of MBTs will rise to 988 units including 44 MBT-2000 after the upgrading. Am I almost correct? Any more plan to upgrade some other tanks?
BD has around 250 old type59 tanks which are under upgrade process, BD also buying new 300 type59 tanks. so the type59 tank fleet will be around 600. BTW we also upgraded Type 69 tank fleet too which is around 200 ( leaving T-54/55 tank fleet aside which is around 120)
More will be purchased later.
Type 59G tank is very modern tank.

Al Zarrar are good but can't be compared to AL KHALID 2 or MBT 3000 or Abram or others Tank off this category you need to get these Tanks in large numbers

More MBT-2000 will be brought as funds allow.

It is more cost effective to upgrade older tanks than buy new ones.

As long as these upgraded tanks can stop India tanks then this is what counts.

It's simply a 2nd gen tank upgraded to 3rd gen .. And no it can never compete against tanks like MBT-2000 etc..

Not trolling .. Just saying the truth .. Even AZ is inferior to AK..

P.S:it's using Thetis systems (by selex),and AK sub systems,gun etc.. Yet I have no issue saying it that it is inferior to AK.. Meanwhile this tank you have upgraded with Chinese help itsnt even comparable to AZ...
