    Bangladesh purchased around 2 billion dollar weapons in last 4 years

    Most of it is bought from China.Considering what we had,this is a major step up. Also the Trade Register from SIPIRI dosen't get every single arms transactions. It doesn't mention the USCG Ship from America or any Indigenous Projects. However overall,this is very good news. Now we just have...

    ‘Suicide squad militants’ caught

    It's Bangladeshi politics...What are you expecting??Both Parties are terrible. However,what suprises me is that RAB,Out of 21 people,Allowed 18 to escape and did not Cover all sides of the house-DESPITE being an elite force.

    Bangladesh Army

    This is very likely to happen due to elections. However another reason is possibly the induction of better equipment and that our troops are slowly being pulled back to help them train and rearm them better then put them back out there.

    BDforever has answered most of you questions. However your point about growth rate can be argued against. I mentioned if the employment rate increases 2% and these projects will be built, it will increase to ten. Lets look at the Padma Bridge, this bridge been demanded for years because it's...

    Thank you. Also i meant in terms of a military as well. BD military is already much more stronger than either and due to this has has a bigger market for defence equipment since BD is still developing it's Domestic defence indsutry. However,BD itself has a far more bigger population,and RMG is...

    I know it's just that we already have Russian missiles and figther avionics but im not sure if the US will give us access to their Missiles right now. But you do raise a valid point and if we can afford them ,i hope we get them.I know our martime patrol aviation is only western aircraft with...

    F-16 Block 50/52...How well does it do against lets say the SU-30MK or Mig 29 SMT/M/M2.Personally i'd love to see western planes in BD but i thought they were ruled out due to the fact we have no Infrastrucutre for them while with russian birds,we have current infrastructure.

    You do realise what you have propsed is very unrealistic. Bangladesh military doesn't have any offensive doctrine-it's mostly suited towards defending and our current equipment shows so and future equipment is unlikely for such a task due to the fact India will always be ahead of us(We are just...

    Army reconstructs Temple

    You seem to think that the Military's Job is just shooting people. It's a lot more complicated than that. Every Nation has an Engineer corp which builds and destroys and maintains buildings and equipment. An effective military will need to rebuild fortifications and build better transport...
