Why Bangladesh defense forces had not opted for Turkish drone

[idune]

In large degree, effectiveness of Turkish drone technology had been proven in 3 recent conflicts Syria, Libya and in Azerbaizan-Armeia conflict. So, it is very important question WHY Bangladesh defense forces had not opted for such platform? It's not that expensive and Turkey has shown interest in defense cooperation with Bangladesh already. All these wanna be and know it all expert, why that has not happened?

Is it because lack initiative from top brass? Who is holding the top brass, neighboring country or regime subservient to neighboring country?

your speculations have substance
India still has a lot of influence over Bangladesh
despite china making some inroads

You shall realise that turkish drone also took a beating in libya when fighting against UAE Chinese drone. Plus the fact, turkish until now still rely on foreign import of power plant for bigger drone.

If turkish drone is so effective, their turkmen syria wouldnt take a beating in syria now.

What would bd do with the said drones?

We have two enemies.... i suspect they wont come much use against either....

But i also suspect that it probably is lack of vision rather than indian influence...

The order of the day is airpower.... what we have seen these can do the job cheaper..... something for BD to implement but do not really see any of the service paying any interest on offensive drones......

The current generation of drones are no substitute for air power.

That question demands that you do research on current day warfare before commenting on the topic.

In a recent interview, a Lt. Gen of Bangladesh Army, who was forced out of service, revealed that india even obstructed forming a defense policy. If you observe, almost all of Bangladesh defense purchases over years are generation(s) behind and are NON OFFENSIVE. Keen strategic observers would know what that means.

There is truth to this.

I dunno what his overall agenda is.

But his point is valid.

There is something seriously wrong with the decision making in regards to procurement at least for BAF.

I don't know much about Army stuff and admittedly, the Navy has been impressive.

But what gives with the BAF?

Is it incompetence? Or external and internal forces neutralizing any efforts at increasing capability.

Air power is critical.

Then why did BNP administration of 2001 - 06 do more to ruin BAF and Bangladesh Armed Forces than the subsequent Awami League administrations.



Doesn't check out, BNP MPs ripped the government a new one after they signed the deal for those 16 Migs, and then what did Khaleda do ?


She scrapped the deal after talking delivery of the first 8, same story with the navy BNS Bangabandhu termed a 'Rust Bucket' and scrapped.


BNP MPs said in the parliament in no uncertain terms, that the procurement of Migs is "Inconsistent" with the overall Defence needs of the country.



So who here is hampering defence procurements and deliberately expediting the degradation of pre-existing equipment, like they did with BNS Bangabandhu by shelving for a long time without any routine maintenance.

What did BNP governments exactly procure for BD armed forces ? And were they not kowtowing to India, did they flip India off ? Of course they didn't they're wimps, who stroke nationalistic sentiments for votes.


So no, I can't and won't buy what a "I'm a big boy because I came to the US via Diversity Visa Lottery" dishwasher has to say about this issue or any issue for that matter.


They have proved themselves incapable of backing their claims with facts and demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge in all fields including defence, economics and international geopolitics.



I suggest you all do the same; don't give a 5th grade dropout windowlicker the time of day. They simply don't have anything of substance to say.


Such snakes have long existed in Bengal, this is just the modern iteration.


Said Dishwasher should stick to washing dishes and Tareq's car, anything else is over their limited intellectual capacity.

idunes magi things artillery and armor procurements are all non offensive weapon, that should tell you enough of this kitchen scrubbers knowledge on related matters

Not really .... your response merely proves your limited grasp on issue as usual.

Drones have limited range and firepower..... wont have operational freedom between equally matched adversaries. In the BD scenario we will be victims of drones without adequate sam cover and an effective air force. Both our adversaries are geographically too large and we too weak for drones to make much difference. Only reason drones have made any impact in Azerbijan is because NK does not have an airforce.

BD needs the ability to secure the command and control installations for the drone fleet before it can aquire drones.

What I said in my post goes beyond political parties.

I agree with you in regards to BNP.

All I am saying, is I would like for there to be actions taken by the Bangladeshi government without undue regard to Indian sensitivities.

And that is something that is arguable at this point.

I personally don't care about AL or BNP as I have next to nothing to do with Bangladesh other than my ethnic ties.

However, I want good for the country and its people.

I completely agree and understand how the pandemic has de-railed weapons procurement plans and priorities are elsewhere to support the PEOPLE.

But it does pain me to see weakness from a nation that doesn't need to be weak.

Yes , with 49 IQ , hope you didn't forget his IQ level.

However this low IQ item became a source of entertainment in boring life!

They are the true stooge of India . Unfortunately no one here is ready to hear us , people are foolish but pretend to be all knowing.

where the hell you found I said drone ONLY defense solution????? As usual dont concoct idiotic theory and try to use false narrative around it. Drone plays significant and multi-facet role in contemporary warfare and its role will increase not decrease. Go study on the topic before making comments.
