Didn't have evidence before. Looks like army really sucks out BN and BAF's budget.

Apc is not that expensive though, why not buying in incremental number, and trying to license producing them. Btw, Bangladesh is land based armed Forces. To have serious Investment in army is not solely wrong.

The APC part is made up probably cause the notice doesn't say anything about it. Though there was a plan to establish a assembly line when we bought 330-645 BTR-80.

No, it's wrong. All three wings deserve equal attention. Army can have serious investment if it wants but it shouldn't do it by drawing money from BN and BAF's fund. These two wings already get less allocation than army when they are in dire need of modern MRCA, MR-SAM and warships.

This is probably happening because of the Covid effect for last two years. Modernization was seriously hampered. Also this could be unused budget they're getting.

Bought Anoa or Komodo from us and we would gladly to setting up assembly line and maintenance center in Dhaka just like previous watercraft deals. Either Indonesia or Turkey is not stingy in transfer of knowledge
