BD to buy 44 armored vehicles from China

[Zabaniyah]

Bro...talking about India, not all of their tanks are 50 tons. They do have lighter tanks that will function well on our lands.

Plus, it wont be a face-to-face tank battle. Hence such assumptions are a bit weird!


Cheers!!!

Their Arjun weighs around 60 tons (!!) Only a handful of them are in Indian service, and I'd suspect they are mostly on the Western front.

T-72, ~42 tons.

T-90, ~47 tons.

If the Indians do conduct a tank assault against Bangladesh (hypothetical) they'd be using T-72s and T-90s. For the Burmese, the T-72 is their best tank.

But then, they still have a huge number of T-72s, around 1900 of them in total.

Question: Has BD army ever operated a tank with a 125mm gun? Is the MBT-2000 the first?

 

[monitor]

No most of the tank had 105mm and now mostly equip with 125 mm as per my knowledge

Are they 120mm or 125mm as in the Type-69? Coz our Type-69 variant fields the 120mm.

We can counter any Burmese incursion with the tank regiments we have.

About India, problem is we are surrounded by them on 3 sides...hence on any hypothetical assault scenario, they will charge in from all directions for which to counter our tanks have to spread out or come up with a better strategy. They will outnumber us and that is the problem.

Indeed. Add their air force and navy. Outnumbered and outgunned. Also, we don't have much technology either unlike the Israelis (small country surrounded by hostile countries).

The thing is - as long as the two begums remain in power, our armed forces would always be a few steps behind India as far as deterrence go.

This trend in decadence in almost every aspect of Bangladesh has been happening ever since the two begums came into power.

The only truly effective government that Bangladesh ever had was the Ershad regime. Sure, it wasn't the most efficient (corruption), but it was effective.

^^ Agreed. I already suggested before, either remove the two worn-out ladies...and if not possible, put a military guy in charge of the Defence Ministry.


Cheers!!!

@ No ! I disagree with you last time our sweety Begum raised all most three Brigrades within a year on the Northern/Western sector. Ealier once she was in power after the fall of Ershad she raised one Division on the North short of Meghalay.

Hey buddy, instead of focusing on India all the time, try to focus on the broad picture.

Having Khaleda Zia along with her son pulling all the strings won't improve things in a big way. The damage that is going to be left by the AL would be difficult to repair.

Albeit, there would not be much commitment from the current BNP axis of leadership to repair that damage left by the current AL regime. You see, this process has been on-going ever since the end of the Ershad era.

Solution: Boot both begums out. There are far better Bangladeshi individuals who'd make great leaders for Bangladesh.

If Bangladeshis are given the chance to simply assert themselves for a strong and an independently prosperous Bangladesh, trust me, those Indians will just run around like headless chickens and die. That's all they can do.

ALL Bangladeshis regardless of rich or poor must benefit. Not just a small group of people.
