A total of Tk42,695 crore has been proposed for the defence ministry and other services under the ministry in the national budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year.

So, it decreased by $ 100-150 million.

Almost $4 billion. If Taka's value increases in coming months it may exceed $4 billion slightly.

Not bad, consodering current economic situation.
But I doubt they would be able to make any meaningful purchase given the significant Forex shortage.
