As Charles Yeager a USAF pilot put it "you gotta rememeber its the man not the machine"

During the 1973 Israeli Arab war the alleged "superior" Syrian tanks of the time ie T55s and T62s were being knocked out by Israeli Shermans a world war 2 vintage machine.

My point is that just because statistics favour one machine on paper is not necessarily an accurate truth in reality.

As far as BD armed personnel are concerned,they are well trained and professional.
I agree with you though..

ya, rite... Bangladesh has got many brilliant engineers and so does Pakistan...
I think Bangladesh and Pakistan should jointly start breaking new grounds on this...that would help us both...

I also asked before how it compares with the Arjun tanks,which is I think T-90.Don't have any details about Arjun tanks..anyone here??

Arjun!! you dont need any details to know about it...just know that its got the lowest quality of all the tanks...and as far as I know, 36 units were built since the '71 war... Correct me if i'm wrong...

This is the completely upgraded Type-69 MK II G MBT.Compare it with the second picture below which is not fully upgraded.Although main gun is 120mm smoothbarrel but the armour is different in the completely upgraded one.

its looks baby tank in front of new tanks

Bro you need to appreciate this effort from BD, except ridicule it in any sence. though they are a different class Tanks, but on part of BD its a great effort to find their own feet and standup to the indians which always threaten them.
My prays and encouragment is alway with my BD brothers, keep up the good work,as Pakistan and BD has joined hands in defence cooperation and INSHALLAH this will carry on for the years to come n will learn alot from each other experties

compare to this:

Leon the tank in the first photo only has ERA added on two sides of the turret, there's no other conspicuous visible difference in armour.

I think you missed the blocks on the fully upgraded ones.I am no military expert but this looks different than the first one.
The main gun is same for both the pics,i.e. 120mm.

It is also reported upgraded one has NBC suit.

 

[BelligerentPacifist]

Yeah maybe its not ERA but fixed armour plates added on in a slanted manner just like on AK.

Improved version defiantly looks better and also a commendably achievement by BD engineer. We are to be proud of them. Now we can build as many as we want according to our need. I am waiting to see the Al-Zarar in BD soil soon. I understand it's being build in Bangladesh with help form our Pakistani brother. As BD's economy grow, I would like to see some Al-Khalid in the near future. Let us crank a notch or two. let us give migraine headache to India. What say brothers?????????

Upgrading of T-59s to Al-Zarrar already started I think with Pakistani help.The Type 69s were upgraded with the help of Chinese experts.Surely our army engineers have done excellent work.

Al-Khalid may be procured once upgrading the existing tanks are complete.Though it is not confirmed

P.S. To give headache to India,we will have to look what hardware our Hasina Madam buys for our military

 

[acer]

What the difference if weapons are with chinese or pakistan
Buy as much as you can ..Those weapons will be lesser head ache with bangladesh military

In the 3. page of the discussion,i saw a wrong information.it was about T-84 Yatagan tanks.
The T-84 Yatagan is not Turkish production.it is ukrainian and its difference than a standart T-84 is its 120MM gun allows to fire standart NATO ammo.
it was offered us with very good options.it could be convereted to a real destruction machine by our engineers but later we decided to go for our own tanks.and you see,the tank will be ready in 2012.the know-how expenses and a single prototype costs 500M dollars.

Actually it is the mistake of the website he quoted it from.Bangladesh does not have Yatagan.I heard about the Turkish tank project
