Whatever they do. Obsolete piece of shit won't hold anymore.
Can you just tell us why do you think these tanks are obsolete already? We are not USA, where many billions of dollars worth of old but otherwise good weapons are destroyed time to time because only then the new weapons can be inducted, which creates employment and allows disbursement/cycling of money by the govt. Texas deserts are full of these vantage (?) weapons that include jet planes, as well. Do you really want BD to follow this same US approach that will destroy us in no time?Whatever they do.

See I am not in a mood to argue... (Ramadan) I don't know much about naval warefare, weapons and tactics... but I have self thought myself on everything armored warfare.... in short.... these were obsolete decades back.... if you think a higher horse power engine which brings it back to original soviet specs of 60km/h top speed on pavement and 20 max on paddy ground and a higher caliber gun without modifying turret and chassis to counter balance and not sacrificing whatever sorts of reload mechanism employed or not (loader) and integrating new NBC suite which already came prepacked in all vehicles post t44... and integrating soft kill hard kill systems/ fire control system that are world class on par with something like a leopard 2 or t90 on a tank whose front hull RHA is 120mm and 80mm, 45 mm on sides and back respectively, coupled with turret whose front armor reaches a max of 200mm on some point and compost of 155 and 60mm on side and back.... which when coupled with few bricks of ERA that are actually competitive of kontakt 4 and has a RHA potential of 700mm.... you gotta be kidding me.Can you just tell us why do you think these tanks are obsolete already?

QED,proved that you do posses a lot of theoretical knowledge about modern MBT's. Congrats.See I am not in a mood to argue... (Ramadan)
I am no understanding of what you said was meant as sarcasm or what... !?QED,proved that you do posses a lot of theoretical knowledge about modern MBT's. Congrats.
Simple, you have acquired a substantive theoretical knowledge about modern days MBT's. However Bangladesh Army has a dedicated Division known as ARTDOC,whose TOR and AOR is purely on the practical aspects of all Military hardware's, be these existing ones or new ones, undertaking Test and Trail, before induction.Regarding MBT's, a team of designated officers from the Armoured Corps, qualified technically and after conducting the overall Physical/field firing tests, would be in a position to pass judgement s on such issues with complete authority and confidence.I am no understanding of what you said was meant as sarcasm or what... !?
Well they've learnt from their mistakes haven't they? First with the hand held SAM and then with a full regiment of tanks...Simple, you have acquired a substantive theoretical knowledge about modern days MBT's.

Integration of large nos of ATGM, yes I fully endorse your views,however we also need to keep in mind the latest version similar to Javelin, TOP hit fire and forget types, NOT wire guided of laser guided ones for our Infantry units,as in our densely populated and inhabited rural countryside, the actual Line of Sight (LOS) is rather constricted. Attack Helicopters with multiple hard-points capable of attaching various types of warheads, ATGM Armed UAV's would be the right choice.Well they've learnt from their mistakes haven't they?

My point is it's cheaper for the army to keep a force Atm upgrading these than buying new ones... the army can't afford to field huge numbers within the timeframe and buying what's up on offer atm on the market is actually a pretty bad idea... tank developments are going through new heights as we speak and although I say these tanks won't hold.... right now it's our only options and I am very unwilling to admit that even thought that's true.
Actually top hitting ones like javelins doesn't even matter no more... it is just as effective as the normal ones... what I would like to see is the fire and forget variants which do on most part launch right up in the air to avoid obstacles.Integration of large nos of ATGM, yes I fully endorse your views,however we also need to keep in mind the latest version similar to Javelin, TOP hit fire and forget types, NOT wire guided of laser guided ones for our Infantry units,as in our densely populated and inhabited rural countryside, the actual Line of Sight (LOS) is rather constricted.

No shame in accepting our drawbacks,that's why I always emphasize to gain the battle tested and hardened experiences from our friendly Muslim Nations.
Kindly recall the nasty experiments carried out on the type 62 light tanks also, destroying a full regiment of Italian NATO standard 105 mm man portable pack howitzers, a perfect artillery system for our Airborne units as well as for Counter Terrorism warfare in the Hilly terrains, on top of the MBT- 2000 and QW-2 MAN PADS.
It was conceived to be a support for infantry and nothing more..., with ww2 and guderian we learnt that wasn't the case as tanks formed the main spearhead supported by infantry. Tables turned and here we are....I'm a bit of an ignorant..... what is a tank?.... what is it supposed to do?
How many tanks does Bangladesh have ?It was conceived to be a support for infantry and nothing more..., with ww2 and guderian we learnt that wasn't the case as tanks formed the main spearhead supported by infantry. Tables turned and here we are....
In tank warfare you'll have to find the balance between technology and numbers.... and it's true in most cases including aerial warfare.
Not exact numbers but numbers are speculated to be from 500-700 of different types.How many tanks does Bangladesh have ?
