What's new

Bangladesh has started upgrading Type-59 tank locally

.
Its a work around. I doubt the older hull will be able to withstand a modern anti-tank missile. There will be catastrophic breach.
Al Zarrar got tested in one massive attack in SWAT few RPG an IED suicide bombers hit the Tank and crew remained saf
 
. .
Congratulation to Bangladesh.

I dont know why Indians get worked up so easily - that chap @UKBengali is a jamaati. His sole job is to...well you know. So dont bother paying him attention.

Maybe these upgraded tanks will be used to roll over the jamaati terrorists. ;)

@UKBengali your so called tanks will be something like this to an Indian soldier :lol:

Yea it's true that no SAM can hit a target 100% of the time. Especially with TVC, ECM and such.


But you are bringing no source. xP
And anyway, let's assume that the range really is 20km, how will that help in the lack of long-range SAMs?



Missiles usually have an even lower chance of being hit because of their lower RCS and higher speed. But you are right.
A Su-30MKI should be able to carry 2x short-range air-to-air missile along with about 4x anti-radar missiles. In an attack at a base protected by a respectable number of FM-90s, you'll need quite a few Su-30MKIs dedicated for SEAD missions with a payload similar with the one that I mention above to destroy someone's air defence. And possibly an air escort of other Su-30MKIs with a fighter role if there's a chance of meeting air resistance.
you were missing one point... BD bases are in reach of Brahmos. .. don't need to enter BD airspace. ..

well here is a shock for you, 160 new figher aircraft within 10-12 years. will it be able to hit IAF ? ;)
leally? ?? so you wanted to say BaF going to hit IAF. .. well by that time we will field Rafale n Pak FA and FGFA.

@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.)
