Bangladesh signed a new deal with Roketsan. The name of products Bangladesh purchased aren't disclosed.
According to a report published on 19th November, Bangladesh bought MLRS, AShM and air defense system from Turkey in June.

According to a news report published on December 9, 2021, When the MoU was signed, Bangladesh also sealed a $1 billion arms deal with Turkey. Previously Bangladesh signed a similar contract with Russia in 2013.

@SavunmaSanayiST.com @Defence Turkey and other verified Turkish members, really need to verify this report further.

A big project is running in the background between Bangladesh and Turkey.

Did you find anything? Suppose Turkey got the LPC, UAV, tactical missile, ATGM and additional MRAPs contract system contract. So those and TRG-300, AShM, SAM and BCG OPV. Would it make $1 billion? Or is there something more? I think this could be another loan agreement like the Russian one. Certainly a big news if this is true.

We need more and much deeper cooperation with BD. It's the only nation in the region with a somewhat stable outlook.
