India wants to sell defence equipment to Bangladesh

[Old School]

Just one more question, what about Indian army? Do they have night fighting capabilities?

No. In real theater, they can't. Very few armies have this capabilities for real and they don't encourage their officers to do MBA at their mid level which doesn't benefit their fighting preparedness and capabilities.

Allright Bhai, thats what I needed,and enough for now. I want Bangladesh army atleast capable of fighting Sanghis. If sanghis don't have this ability then I am not very worried, because they are going to be the real threat for Bangladesh in near future.

But I wish inshallah Bangladesh armed forces will look beyond and will try to achieve the night fighting capabilities and other necessary things that will made them far superior. Atleast I wish so. Then rest Allah (swt) knows the best.

These days military coups are usually done by private military companies or PMC who have the capabilities. Read about them. They work for the highest bidders.

Okay I will do as much as I can. Once I read about black water ( now academi) . Will focus reading on them again. And maybe now I slightly understand your worries and that is rich organizations can hire those private armies with their money and create military coups and Bangladesh army is not yet capable of prevent the private armies.

Why it was taken to begin with without making any plan and continue to pay interest in it?

So that india can have an edge and a policy of carrot and stick towards Bangladesh. While your politicians keep you in utopian world of bharat is your defender.

Note that how Bharti backed off against China while they had a treaty to defend Bhutan. Also note how they are not risking their selves against Pakistan in Afghanistan and refusing and hesitating to go in Afghanistan despite multiple requests and begging from Afghanistan govt.

You are wrong all the way. FBCCI working with the current army and Hasina since 2007 and they are the ruling class. Why will they unseat themselves ? That is ridiculous. I am suggesting a rival interested Bengali group. Blackwater or academi doesn't do these things as they get enough governmental contracts. There are other players like Russian Wagner group who are very active these days. Remember, BD has widespread corruptions and BD army is not made of aliens and angels. They are corrupted like anyone. Don't put high hopes on them. I don't want to embarrass you with real examples.

and what india can offer bangladesh? when they themselves even buy army niddles from Russia and Israel and US.

India can certainly offer us nuts, bolts, and screwdrivers.

I have been telling this from day one.... We are strategic allies and we will need to maintain commonality in platforms.... But nobody was listening.....

Banglades is lucky to have strategic ally like India (thanks to Hasina).... This is like our mini NATO military alliance.... Bangladesh will have access to state of an art weapons of India.... Brahmos, Nirbhay Cruise missiles, NAGA ATGM, Akash air defense system, ASTRA air to air BVR missiles, Pinaka rocket system and what not??? Once this strategic alliance is matured further who knows you may be even allowed to keep Arihant class nuclear submarine on lease..... Imagine BN patrolling BOB with Arihant and K series missiles on it..... BD is lucky to have its hand on such all above sensitive technology.....

lol

I also like the idea of military deep state for Bangladesh considering our geo-strategic position. I am not convinced that, political leadership in Bangladesh can be trusted to uphold the country's best interest all the time. Their primary interest is to remain in power even at the expense of the country. There should be a patriotic force in Bangladesh who could challenge the autocratic govt. if they try to sale the country's interest to other country. We need a powerful military deep state who are free from political loyalty, deeply suspicious to India and whose primary concern is to secure the county's independence and sovereignty irrespective of what politician want to do. Our military also need to put pressure on govt. to secure funds to develop the armed forces rather than accepting the whimsical allocation govt. like to give them. Political leadership do not understand our geo-strategic vulnerability, their one and only concern is to remain in power and loot as much as possible. They consider a patriotic, autonomous armed forces a threat to their power holding. So their allocation to armed forces does not reflect the genuine needs.

Agree, and I believe that our armed forces is not loyal to any political party, but they are only loyal to motherland Bangladesh.

And everybody been telling you to stay away from that Cow Cola . See what happens when you don't listen !

Please can you provide evidence for your claims?
AL has been in power for 11 years and still the "premium" has not been extracted yet?
I am not saying you cannot be right but your claims seem to be nothing more than typical conspiracy theories.

Not talking about his ( @Old School) premium, but if you even ever ask any BD military officer (who is related to intelligence and also your bosom friend) directly and he inform you that Bangladesh is actually BD military backed deep state, will you believe him without evidences?

They ( military) probably are not going to share military secrete with civilians if you aren't useful for their works! These things are for believers, not for skeptical people!

Because, " বিশ্বাসে মিলায় হরি তর্কে বহুদুর"! So if you are a believer, you will get your deity, if you are skeptical, you will keep asking evidences!

It is in fact possible for a civilian to know what is going on. That person needs to have projects which require very high level approvals and to track his project files . Then he can track to see where those files take transits before ending up at the hand of the original civilian secratatiat. People with such experience will tell you that they have detected military footprints which is not supposed to be the standard practice.
But while doing nothing and sitting in a living room will not get one anything. Heresay has it's limits. It sounds more like ginger traders asking about ships !

But this is a risky procedure for a commoner isn't it? Most of common folks will not be interested to do so!

Common folks should stay as common folks. They better focus on sports, entertainment, commerce. etc. Above all , they lack the stomach for uncommon things. Not too hard to understand.
