whether this goes through , remains to be seen (sanctions ).
we don't have relation with err...Galil
that sounds like a good idea. BD makes the modernised type 81 derivative the BD-08 (see below)Or even better, BOF should r&d their own standard assault rifle to suit their needs. Like our Pindad SS-2

Is it true that Bangladesh assemble the FN-16 domestically?
only thing truly lacking here is the political will.
Political will has lot to do with this!Walton is a private company. Political will has nothing to do with this.
Both Aselsan and Roketsan started off as state owned companies. They are now publicly traded companies but I think both are still majority state owned.Political will has lot to do with this!
If there is no national road map and supportive mechanism from government ( like Turkiye has ) for private companies to participate in national defence industry, it is very unlikely that any private company completely on its own be able to do anything meaningful.
specially in our context where we don't have any meaningful defence industry yet.
Yes I know,Both Aselsan and Roketsan started off as state owned companies. They are now publicly traded companies but I think both are still majority state owned.
STM is owned by state (SSB affiliated).Yes I know,
but I was talking about other companies which are private like baykar, STM, mateksan and others.
Aselsan is publicly traded, Roketsan is not.Both Aselsan and Roketsan started off as state owned companies. They are now publicly traded companies but I think both are still majority state owned.
Also manpads.They were supposed to be made with Chinese TOT as rumors suggest. but It seems army changed their mind.We can expect something from Europe,Turkey,Korea.@Flextape do you know anything about amry's latest ATGM tender? Did they selected anything yet ?
Is there any progress on that front?
There were rumors that BOF will open a production line for ATGM locally with TOT from aboard.
