BDforever, below is an excerpt from your own post in another thread. My question is, if the current upgrading is not written there. If not, can I assume that all these 300 units of type-59s are being newly bought from China and upgraded in BD?
Actual figure:
MBT-2000 Main battle tank 44
Type 69-II Mk.2G Main battle tank 185
Type 69-II Main battle tank 290
Type 59II Main battle tank 90-264(300 more on order) (Both Type 59/59II, in the process of being upgraded.A heavily modernized variant approaching 3rd-generation standards with a new welded turret similar to the Type 96 replacing the original cast turret and a 125mm main gun with semi-automatic loader. In service with PLA and Upgrading by Bangladesh Army. Around 300 Type 59G or Type -59AGM will be procuring and upgrading by the Bangladesh Army.)
