Bangaldeshi Armoured Corps: MBTs

[Ammyy]

Dude - we did fight for 9 months in 1971.

India wont be stupid enough to use nuclear weapons if BD drives across the "Chickens-neck" to isolate NE. If only because radiation will be blown over into India and poison Indians.

BD is playing a waiting game and allowing the economy to grow and once poverty is eliminated it will create a formidable conventional military.

First I said you cant fight against a nuclear armed country that doesn't mean we are going to use it against you Our local police in more then enough for country like BD.
Useless people can not win war against giant like India, just go and fight Burma that suits you better.
6% growth is not big enough for country like BD where per capital income is that low. Atleast 10% growth required for all counties of Indian sub continent to eliminate complete poverty in next 20 years.

Dude, as BD's economy grows(over 6% a year as we speak) it will soon be in a position to buy many more tanks and modern 4th/5th generation aircraft.

and we will not grow more ....and our force will go to level of bangladeshi forces ..so sad

The "chickens-neck" will always be your vulnerability and BD's ultimate aim must be to use this threaten to cut the NE from mainland India in order to influence Indian behaviour

what about bangladeshi chicken-neck? will it be spared?

 

[UKBengali]

Yes meanwhile Indian economy will go in recession and Indian military capability will be less than what it is today

Dude - Indian economy will never do well since it is a multi-ethnic country and they generally don't grow as fast as unitary ones.

Also, BD is deliberately keeping its defence spending at an artificially low-level in order to eliminate poverty first before it really starts to spend money to build a modern military.

Over time, BD will get relatively stronger compared to India. Imagine a scenario where BD has a conventional military as powerful as Pakistan on your eastern border. Indian forces will then face a threat on 3 fronts - Pakistan, BD and China.

yeah yeah " once poverty is eliminated " and will do nothing and formidable whats that? supaa powa bangladesh

India needs to keep a lot of forces for Pakistan and China.

There is only a limited amount of forces it can spare for BD. What forces you can spare for BD will have to face the whole of the BD army and air-force.

Leave that to us. If you feel that you have enough in your arsenal to invade India and cut off the NorthEast, you really should invade India ASAP.

What happened to your govt. being subservient to India?

The only scenario i see is the Bay of Bengal swallowing South Bangladesh.

Relatively stronger compared to India?

You have a very very very weak Air Force. Only 8 4th Gen fighters. Bangladesh has money to buy 300 4th gen fighters?

China has Japan, Korea, Taiwan,(well equipped air force, navy, and army not like Bangladesh) + Vietnam, Philipinnes, Singapore, and not to forget America at its door steps, do you think they can do anything to China? Mind you, India adds one Bangladesh to its economy every year.

For Bangladesh, opening up the barrages on the rivers should be enough, we need not worry about any other front, I mean this seriously, not even trolling.

Tezpur AFS houses multiple Su-30MKI squadrons.

A single squadron can clean house in Bdesh without Il-78 and A-50 help.
Once we have air dominance I don't see Assam Rifles and BSF having any problems dealing with the Bdesh army.

Welcome to the forum newbie.

BD currently has the money to buy 100 4th generation planes if it wanted to. The budget could afford it but it rather would not as it rather spend the money to tackle poverty.

Unlike India, BD cares about its population instead of spending billions buying military hardware that is not likely to use.

Not this is not true. BD economy is 180 billion dollars. At current growth rates India adds 100 billion dollars a year.

What does it matter that the majority of China's forces are in the East, they have plenty of fire-power in Tibet to force India to spend huge resources to station forces on the Chinese border. China's military is many, many times more powerful than India's.

btw - Where the hell did Singapore come against China as it is over thousand miles away from China?

India can spend billions on military hardware only because Indian govt collects billions in tax revenues.
We have a massive social sector welfare budget allocation.
India has a bigger population means more tax revenues means larger govt. budget means more money to be spent on military.

Before Bdesh goes to war with India what will people like Kader Siddique do?

We can set Bdesh on fire from inside before your so called army can mobilise.

Also a naval blockade will be imposed if any adventures are conducted in the chicken neck.

Im a newbie to this forum have been on other forums for a few years.

Newbie - you must have missed the part where I stated that once BD modernises it's military then can it think of threatening to cut off the chicken's neck.

This is not likely for another two decades. Say another 10 years to make sure that every citizen has three square meals a day and then another 10 years to modernise the three arms of the military. BD will not spend billions while any one of its citizens go to bed hungry. India is currently allowing millions to starve to death while spending billions every year to import weapons - different priorities you see.

BD will have many modern submarines by then to take on the Indian Navy in Bay of Bengal.

BD has no interest in starting anything with India but should have the ultimate deterrent of slicing India in two if required.

You are talking 2 decades into the future.

India is spending only 1.8% of GDP on defence.

Bangladesh cannot spend billions as it has a nascent economy.

India can spend billions as it is a developing economy.

We are spending tens of billions on social sector programmes. This past decade and a half poverty and hunger have been greatly eradicated although it still exists. The new govt. should be able to handle this menace now.

Bangladesh has greater poverty than India and fewer economic opportunities.

If Bangladesh attempts to enter the chicken neck area it can be taken out from the air with BSF handling the crumbs.

North East is heavily militarised with even local police competent to resist an offensive by so called Bangladesh Army.

Your own para military is trigger happy killing your army brass. and you claim to have a capability now or in the future to conduct an offensive on Indian territory.
