Comparative strengths of Bangladesh and Myanmar

[tarpitz]

India, MM needs light tanks to incur into BD soft land. But, BD will use heavy tanks to incur into Indian and MM lands, where the soil may be harder, specially in the Indian north near our border. As far as I know majority of our tanks are located in places like Parbatipur and Syedpur Cantonments. Tanks are offensive weapons that is also used to challenge the tank attacks by the enemy. We may need heavy tanks as well.

Myanmar Army is using more than 100 PTL 02 105 mm Assaulter mobile gun systems for this purpose.

Assaulter can operate pretty well on soft terrain.

105 mm gun of Assaulter uses APSFDS which can knock out most of BD tanks except for the MBT 2000.

Yes. before the Anti Armoured vehicles are knocked out by Mi 35P [emoji1]

Yes. before the Anti Armoured vehicles are knocked out by Mi 35P [emoji1]

nah, we don't use those vehicles, we use mobile infantry unit
and yes before Mi35P knocked out By Mil Mi171sh

 

[BDforever]

Before Bangladeshi Mil Mi17s knocked down by

before Indian knocked down by this daredevil

remember him ?

Myanmar will not dare use attack helicopters as BD is manufacturing Chinese FN-16 Manpad in-house.
US did not dare use Apache in Serbia due to Serbian Manpads in the 1990s.

Anyway, how will a tiny 70 billion US dollar economy compete militarily with a massive 250 billion US dollar economy? Myanmar will be totally dominated by BD as large quantities of advanced arms are flowing into BD now and this will only accelerate in the future.

 

[Aung Zaya]

The following is Myanmar special force video, seems like a copy of PLA, not bad. I am sure they were trained by China.

I don't see BD army anywhere near that level.

Myanmar special force

sure.!! many of them are trained in China. even that training ground and facility are supported and wholely funded by China. bro

Producing FN 16 locally? Good.

But sorry to say that BD is decades behind MM coz MM has been producing Igla S manpad since 2010.

MM also started producing KS 1B medium range SAM locally.

Total of 48 KS 1B were acquired/produced so far. First 12 systems of KS 1B were acquired from China and 36 were assembled in MM.

This is the KS 1B acquired from China. Note that the missiles are mounted over the Wanshan 6x6 TEL (Transporter Erector Launcher).

This is the KS 1B produced in MM. Note that the missile are mounted on the locally produced Miltruck.

If you wanna compare GDP, do not forget to compare the number of mouths you have to feed.

BTW MAF pilots have encountered a number of FN 6/16 incidents in CI ops. Not a single aircraft lost by MANPADs. Many of MM rebels are using FN 6/16 even before BD started to use them. So don't worry for MAF. Just train your troops how to use it effectively coz they have never seen attack helicopter gunship in their life.

That is all very well but how will your wishes be fulfilled with a 2 billion US dollar budget and 70 billion US dollar economy? Will you go back to eating arms again?

It is for you to study how we manage our budget.
Our GDP is lower than your GDP.
Be realistic that. . .
MM military is better equipped than BD miilitary and MM people are better fed than BD people.
The percentage of people living below poverty line is far more lesser than BD.

Is this the best you can come up with?

Your GDP is only 30% that of BD and so no ability to run with BD in arms race. Already BD spends 60% more than Myanmar and over the next few years see how the gap narrows significantly.

End of the day, BD only needs to raise defence spending from current 1.25% to 2% of GDP and then Myanmar
will need to spend 40% of it's budget to match it!

You actually think that BD military buildup is meant for Myanmar? It is actually designed to effectively deter India.

Arms race against BD?

You are just reversing the theory.

You even forget the titile of this thread.

Even this thread is launched by BD members who want to compare BD and MM military. A kind of competition.

Many BDshi are talking about how to defeat MM, how to counter MAF, which 4+ gen fighter to buy to counter MAF, blah blah. . . in many thread.

BD is racing arms againts MM in many aspect.

MM intention ofdefence modernization is very clear and we are just trying to upgrade our armed forces into a standard one. Not to race against any country.

MM have no arms race against any nation.

MM defence policy is based on self reliance policy.
MM def modernization programme is not a threat based. It is rather effect based.

For example . . . after the Iraq War, MM realized that air power is the decisive factor in modern warfare. Since then MM started modernizing its AD units and Air Force with new hardware.

But BAF was not properly upgraded during that period.

The big difference is DOCTRINE. The military doctrine of MM has been completely changed since 2010.

Myanmar has made an enemy out of BD despite the fact it's economy is only 30% as large.

My advice is to start eating arms again as BD will not let you get away with ethnic cleansing otherwise.

 

[tarpitz]

Myanmar has made an enemy out of BD despite the fact it's economy is only 30% as large.

BD is neither enemy nor friend of MM.

BD is the only country in the region that is disliked by all neighbours ie MM & Ind.

Both MM and India see BD as an untrustworthy country. That's the reason why MM & Ind built border fences along BD borders.

30% economy with 30% population. It is equal game.

But BD is overpopulated, poverty stricken and 50 mil people are living below poverty line.

Badly effected by climate change.

Land is sinking.

Prone to be frequent floods.

Millions of Bengalis left BD and try to resettle in other countries.

Garment industries is notorious with forced and child labors.

EU already warned BD of GSP suspension over workers' right.

US has already suspended GSP status.
