HongYing 5 (HN-5) Shoulder-Fired Air Defence Missile
HongJian 8 Anti-Tank Guided Missile

HN-5 doesn't seems to be very effective, and the HN-8 with that wire guidance....

1. It is learnt that 100x T96Gs are in the pipeline to equip an armored bde. BA has also advance booked T99 MBTs which have not been released for export. Obviously BA's armor development follows a Chinese strategy in this region. Otherwise BA would not having the number of tanks it already has and propose to procure.

Type-96Gs are confirmed. Guess it beat the Yatagan as far as the army's requirements go.

I also heard they are upgrading their Type-59 to Type-59Gs

First one is QW-2 Vanguard 2. It is an improved version of the FIM-92 Stinger.

The second one is the HJ-8/Baktar Shikan. Similar to the Russian Red Arrow AT rocket.

The QW-2 has a very different underbarrel cooling element. Moreover, it has no connection to FIM-92 Stinger. In fact, the missile and launcher of the QW-2 bear strong resemblance to those of the Russian 9K310 Igla-1 (NATO codename: SA-16 Gimlet).

While the Chinese produce ATGWs dubbed 'Red Arrow', the RUssians don't. The chinese missile HongJian (Red Arrow) HJ73 is modelled after the russian ATGW that in NATO parlance is known as AT-3 Sagger. The system shown is the HJ73 follow-on, the 2nd generation Chinese Hongjian HJ8, which bears some resemblance to the Russian 9K111 Fagot (NATO reporting name: AT-4 Spigot). It is manufactured in Pakistan as Baktar Shikan.

These are the excerpts from the link:

Bangladesh Army's New Type59G MBT

The first public appearance of the long-expected Type 59G was reported by today's Channel-i news.

In essence, this latest Type59MBT variant is a Type 96G in a Type59 body modified to carry a 125mm main gun, a modern fire control system, and the latest Chinese armor protection package. A total of 300 examples of Type59G will be rebuild from the existing fleet.

In addition to the Type59G rebuild program, the Bangladesh army will procure the Type96 MBT in due course as part of a greater modernization drive. Since both MBTs are sharing many common components, this will greatly reduce the load on the existing logistic infrastructure.

Here is a list of Chinese land forces hardware to be procured by the Bangladesh Army compiled by BMF.

1) 7 x Type 96 MBTs (Not delivered yet, but eventually a couple of regiments)
2) 5 x MBT ARV (Chinese, for MBT2000/Type 96 recovery)
3) 300 x Type 59 MBT Upgrade (1 spotted at Dhaka; Army named them as "Type 59 G")
4) 1 x SPH Regt (Chinese 122 or 155 mm SPH is expected)
5) 1 x ADA Regiment (This complements another air defence regiment in BDA. Regiment is equivalent of brigade; Equipped with Chinese AAGs and MANPADS).
=================================================================================================
In addition to the above, 100 x T-96G are in the pipeline from China. Probably 44 units of these have already arrived.
