তুরস্কের সঙ্গে সম্পর্ক তলানি থেকে শিখরে

যুদ্ধাপরাধীদের দণ্ড নিয়ে বিরোধিতার কারণে তুরস্কের সঙ্গে বাংলাদেশের সম্পর্ক তলানিতে গিয়ে ঠেকেছিল। তবে সেই সম্পর্কের মোড় ঘুরেছে। গত তিন বছরে দুই দেশের সম্পর্ক শুধু দৃশ্যমান অগ্রগতি হয়নি, স্মরণকালের সেরা সম্পর্ক এখন দুই দেশের মধ্যে। আর দিন দিন এ সম্পর্ক শুধু বাড়ছে।

that's great hope we get the 250km ranged missile with land attack capability

on the other hand the HISAR took part in the MRSAM tender with two other competitors (according to this article)
HISAR-O enters Bangladesh tender – Tolga Uzbek (tolgaozbek.com)

imo Winning the contract is a milestone

 

[Maula Jatt]

Bangladesh should invest in it's navy and marine forces first and foremost
Other things like AF and army should be the second priority imo, it's a sea faring nation

NDA, so obviously officially it won't be announced. Wonder if they'll announce it during Erdogan's visit or not. There were lots of media coverage since June but nobody actually gave details about the deal. Only this much info we got in November and December. So best not to expect big announcement on anything. Even this info i got by pure luck. Turkish ambassador also indicated recently that some projects are in the pipeline and few agreements have been signed.

If ATMACA ASM will be integrated into Bangladesh navy ships, some navionic modernizations may also be involved in these ships.

Atmaca will come with two ASuW LPCs.

Türk savunma ve havacılık sektörü ihracatı 3 milyar doları aşarak rekor kırdı

TİM verilerine göre 2021 yılında sektörün ihracatı tüm zamanlarının rekoru olarak 3 milyar 224 milyon 785 bin dolar düzeyinde gerçekleşti.

www.defenceturk.net

"December 2021 sector exports to Bangladesh amounted to 35 million 152 thousand dollars . A total of 97 million 741 thousand dollars were exported to Bangladesh by the sector in 2021...."

so,its quite evident that bangladesh army ordered hisar/khan missile system or TB-2 drones!!

yea but burmese use the pantsir plus look at the Libyan performance

overall the Bodor Uddin guy puts out some good content (better research than DEFSECA and DUB). He predicted Rafale from day one of MRCA funding request see his old videos from 2 years ago , many ppl made fun of him inclding me.
However he is a big simp for french weapons and he thinks they are second best after USA.

there could be more in this deal.

TB-2 drones may also be part of this deal. Didn't the PM say that we bought 6 attack drones a few months back ?

this is just a speculation right now(having pantsir)...we have to wait for more concrete evidence!!

yes..PM specifically mentioned about 6 units of drones and land attack missiles (BM) !!

correct 6 medium UAV bought with tactical missile system, most probably the Bora since the TRG-300 was mentioned separately.

Atmaca will come with two ASuW LPCs.

Are we getting Ada Class or a customised ship for this role ?
there was some article about Ada class being shortlisted
