Why This Indian Neighbour Decided To Buy 2 Submarines From China

Bangladesh already has three international ports and in the process of building out a fourth. Any riverbank can be a makeshift port and dockyard. Please consult a map.

We've got scenarios well-practiced. All incursions and actions will be counteracted well so consider that before trying anything. Jagjit Arora was deadly afraid of coming in here in the wet season in 1971. It is unlike anything you have in India. We live in here and you don't.

It'll be like your Vietnam, but your country is not the US. In any case it'll be a nice lesson learned.

Industrial sites are all over Bangladesh and critical infra and cantonments are protected by advanced radar, jamming sites, ground to air missiles and MBRLs of various types at this time. Maybe military experts can tell you what the ranges are. I don't know.

In case of a conflict, getting help from the Myanmar govt. will be pointless because of natural barriers.

We are as well prepared as you are. Don't expect us to take prisoners....

India has no designs to occupy and rule Bangladesh. politically it would be a disaster for India.

The scenario we are discussing is Bangladesh launching an attack on India in alliance with other foreign states. Unless your naval strength goes up 10 or 20 fold it makes no difference. you can have 100 ports. it is within firing range of Indian navy. Indian navy can blockade your entire coastline and pound you into submission.

In that case 'Haar Man li'. We are shaking in our boots and will save you the trouble by committing Hara-Kiri ourselves.

Jokes aside - we know where we stand. Touché.

A nation needs threat perceptions to build its defenses. Having no disputes with any of its two neighbors BD needs some serious imaginations to justify its defense expenditure. Some of the imaginations could be--
1. To take part in Ghazwa-e-Hind
2. To guard against RSS' Akhand Bharat Plan
3. To some nations only Armed Forces can evoke Nationalist feelings
4. A Large Navy can free up some space on sinking land
5. A muslim nation should always be ready to take on non-muslim neighbors
6. No one would notice North Korea if it was not so strong militarily
7. Who knows its just the beginning of the making of a world power called BD

Best wishes..

Bangladesh launching an attack on India? What are you smoking?

It is BD's core principle of foreign policy to stay out of any conflict. If it is between India and Pak, BD if pressured will give verbal support to India. If somehow China is involved then BD will stay as far as possible from it.

What makes you think you, conflict will not be escalated at nuclear level?
And in that case nighbouring countries especially BD will be obliterated along both of us

Because a nuclear conflict would mean double suicide. I don't mind if you guys want a lover's suicide with India but don't bring BD in it please.

Don't wish for things you have no control over in the first place and will destroy you too.

"Lasting for years"....you don't even have an inkling of what the forces arraigned by both sides are designed for.....nor the severe lack of land area involved.

Why will it destroy us? BD is irrelevant in a fight between a supa pawa and a regional pawa.

I do not disagree with you. I expect rational Bangla leaders to do what you said

Our defense doctrine is based on to keep India out of our territory if there were a conflict between China and India. Without us India will be sitting turkey in NE.

That's their problem. But China being actively involved is less likely. They will probably try to get things done by Pakistan. However if a battle between India and China moves to India's NE then it will be uncomfortable for us. As long as it is between Pak and India we would have zero concern.

More chest-thumping from a underfunded military.

No one with right mind would say India wants to occupy a headache called BD. Rather, India wants to control BD by intimidating it with its superior power. But, it has always failed. And with Chinese military hardware in its stock India will fail more to intimidate BD.

Indians are the intimidated ones these days. Someone claimed in a 'Delhi maid rebellion' thread that we are proceeding with our plans to form a greater Bengal. Look at the level of paranoia.

the delhi maid revolt was amusing at the very least

I was laughing like a lunatic when I was going through the posts in those threads for the first time.

thats why your army chief said they need to prepare for a 2.5 front war not a 3 front war.

0.5 means internal conflicts.

how in gods name is india gonna take on bd when the bulk of the army is against pakistan and china in kashmir.

You think there are no troops in the Indian NE ? Do you think that the entire 1.2 million Indian army has been mobilized already ?

 

[Nilgiri]

So, it is better Indian news media do not make huge hue and cry whenever BD buys low grade military hardware from China, and ask your govt. not send again your defense minister and military Chiefs after any such purchases. Please, also take back your offer of $500 million, because BD does not really need it.

You only perceive it as huge hue and cry because you cling on to everything Indian media does, because whats really of interest within BD?

Why would we take back the 500 million dollar loan? Your chaps would avail it for training each year, might as well get some more RAW agents inside them. Cheap hedge now pays dividends later.

Why will it destroy us? BD is irrelevant in a fight between a supa pawa and a regional pawa.

Why would it not destroy you? You already making all kinds of limit scenarios, no nukes used blah blah blah....like thats something you can even ask for and control. Sorry you are a little country that will get steamrolled in any regional conflict whether or not it involves you directly or not. So don't wish for it, it will be the thing that ends you as well....because you certainly have no way to prevent massive spillover of the worst imaginable violence onto your already weak and fragile land.

I could easily wish for a Burma - BD war as well, full scale with no Indian or Chinese intervention on either side (for maximum carnage).....but I don't because of all the people that will die and the futility of it.....why would you wish for the same on any other country?

For once you actually have a point lol.

Even if BD is not directly targeted in a nuclear war between India and Pakistan, nuclear radiation will spill over
and affect BD territory.
I think that BD should look at buying an ABM system(China) to at least minimise any missile attack that a dieing Pakistan and/or India launches against BD.
In any war between Pakistan and India, BD must ensure it minimises the damage to itself.
