BD won't sign ACSA anytime soon.GSOMIA* will be signed within few months, likely at the BD-US security dialogue which is supposed to happen in Dhaka this year. Also as things stand, GSOMIA is not going to result in mega purchases unless relations with US improves.You don't need to believe...

Btw,, you "REALLY" believe these things gives them the same leverage as being the main supplier of the capital assets of BAF and BN??😑😑 Yeah...

The info regarding purchase of equipments I had mentioned was not based on any speculative theory of mine.Also the decision to ban major products from US is official now.... Sheikh Hasina has ordered officials not to buy products from countries that have clamped sanctions on Bangladesh...

It just did and what I said was not a speculation. Only one part of the picture+ also France is more positive on helping in our aviation sector. Obviously this decision will have consequences and Biman will go through a tough time.It is to show that BD is willing to make drastic decisions if...

This is a normal response as he was asked about IOC and BRI.More or less SOP for BD politicians whenever they're asked about involvement in the Sino-US matters. However it's true that BD certainly doesn't have any aspirations to be a major military power.

I would be pissed too if someone sanctioned my anti-terror unit because they killed few anti-state Islamists.

It's way too early to say that.But if we really ditch US, then you can rest assured that BAF will not get any new fighter in active service before 2030. For its single engine fighter procurement, BAF has always preferred the F-16 and no alternatives in the market can give you what the F-16...

She was talking about the Boeing-Airbus issue.The decision to buy Airbus jets has a lot to do with the sanctions.You can say the deal is more or less a political retaliation.

@Flextape Army does plans to have towed 155mm guns.According to this report, BA also received one unit of M-94 howitzer from Bosnia(for evaluation maybe..) in 2021- https://www.unroca.org/bosnia-and-herzegovina/report/2021/ Now the question is how do they plan to operate them and in what quantity?

You said in a previous post that army was planning to equip the med arty regiments with SPHs.Is that plan ongoing?

@Afif I think we have misunderstanding.I am not supporting the idea of replacing 122mm with 105mm.I just said what I think they might do and asked for you guys opinions on that. Note that even if 122 does gets replaced by boran we will still get at least one regt of 155mm for each division.But...

@Afif @F-6 enthusiast I have a feeling that boran may also replace our 122mm howitzers.Do you think it will be a good decision?

Different things with different budget allocations.Only 10 jets won't hurt much.

Not really.The recent deals with India are rather good decisions.

@Afif "I would like to inform you recently we have a company called Bayker which produces drones. Bangladesh Armed Forces has signed a contract with them for the procurement of Bayraktar TB2 UAV. I'm not in a position to give details but I can confirm that there is cooperation between...

Yes.I have talked about surveillance drones in my last reply.Also because of the increasing importance of artillery in battlefield, its necessity of neutralising them is also increasing and drones directly support that operation.Our own artillery units and manned and unmanned air assets will...

@Afif Looking at how things are going in the Ukraine war, I would say we definitely need a large number of UAV be it armed or for surveillance.No way they will use all drones for UNPK only. Not sure whether this is connected to TB-2 procurement or not.The former Turkish envoy had told media...

Also 3 types of UAV in one tender.

Tender for short,medium and long range UAV. PDF file attached for more details. https://dgdp.gov.bd/dgdp/AP_TEN/notice/932.pdf
