I believe what is childish or laughable is the trolling attitude here.
This is no one's dawat, garden party or mushaira to shoot the bull over biryani and paya and dispensing rank misconceptions or obtuse inaccuracies about Bangladesh Army, Navy, Air Force in dismissive fashion. To expect anything else from this collection of mostly uneducated trolls would be quite unorthodox but it continues to amaze sometimes....
Then there are the Bangladeshi folks (still shamelessly East Pakistani in their minds) sycophant yes-men lap-dogs who have over the past forty years succeeded to give Pakistanis a well-deserved lowly opinion about anyone or anything Bangladeshi. Some are practicing their sycophancy right here, right now in PDF. Some of these folks are well-settled in Pakistan for very good reason and for my money, they can very well stay there.
I really don't expect it with most posters' maturity levels here, but how many of them have actually taken a look at recent purchases of armed wings in both countries, for example let's say between the two navies? How many have bothered to look?
For better or worse, this forum has become a breeding ground of name-calling trolls.
Pakistan is run by a massive Fauji complex - members of whom siphon their percentage off of military purchases to pay for their Dubai flats and their wives' Balenciaga purses, in true feudal fashion. There are 'chaurs' in Bangladesh too, but they at least get some work done to feed and educate their poor. I hope there are still some sane people left in Pakistan who realize that you can't feed and clothe people with Babur missiles.
In spite of this 'chory' the Pakistan Navy has had few if any recent purchases or additions whereas the Bangladesh Navy has now easily grown a surface fleet larger than that of Pakistan Navy, albeit sans modern subs or ASW aviation.
Why is this a surprise and why the hate?
On second thought - don't bother to answer. Spare us your opinions. We already know.
Please accept my thanks and award for a wonderful, succinct, well-worded post.
Sad thing is - you are unfortunately wasting your time with the trolls in this forum. They are intellectual infants. They will neither fathom the gravity, nor the immediate relevancy of your post. Those who have seen the future of Pakistan, have rung enough alarm bells and most of them have left for the comfort of the West.
They can house some more people compared to us. But even that has its limits. The percentage of arable and therefore settle-able land in Pakistan is much lower than in Bangladesh. People need water and a source of livelihood where they live. Half or more of Pakistan is arid non-arable land which is unusable.
Also - Bangladesh pop. growth is getting to be almost below replacement rate already, unlike Pakistan. If we have negative pop. growth then eventually density will decrease substantially.
Our defence scenario and doctrine is markedly different than theirs. Why would we spend that much and what for? Deterrence and keeping sea lanes open is our goal, not offensive capability.
I see de-nuclearization of weapons in Pakistan's future, the same will be true of India as well. Nuclear weapons don't belong to rogue countries who are either failed economies or who can't even feed their poor. The Western nations will ensure that this happens.
