Bangladesh Army

[DESERT FIGHTER]

What the Bangladesh Army is looking for is what the US Marine Corps chose recently - Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) which is a Humvee replacement.

There were lots of competing designs, but in the end the OshKosh design won. This is a production standard USMC JLTV in M1280 General Purpose (GP) configuration, this example fitted with a deep fording kit and tire chains for winter snow use.

.

This Oshkosh L-ATV configured as a JLTV, and equipped with M153 CROWS II remote weapon system integrated with M2 Browning .50 caliber Heavy machine gun.

These are useless for armies of developing countries...

What you need is a Level 6 Armoured vehicle capable pf transporting something like 8-10 troops.

Since the price tag of $250,000 per vehicle for the JLTV above might be too much for a country like Bangladesh, we can go with two other much less expensive (but also lightly armored) choices.

The Toyota Mega Cruiser, big brother of the Land Cruiser, or Japanese version of the HMMWV (Humvee).

Or the IVECO (Fiat) LMV (Light Multirole Vehicle) which is EXTREMELY popular

Whatever we get, we should try to get ToT with it. Only way to reduce dependence on foreign sources.

Some more examples of the IVECO LMV, a UN example being used by Norwegian Army (All the more reason for BA to choose the IVECO for commonality in maintenance and spares).

Standardized British bulletproof armor IVECO LMV version named 'Panther' (chosen instead of Land Rover 110)

Another armored IVECO LMV version built under license (from CKD kits) in Russia in a JV factory, named 'Rys' (Lynx),

Russia has its homegrown design, 'Tigr', those are Kornet missiles on the roof.

Standard SUV in Bangladesh army is the land cruiser... the Japanese option will be reliable and cost effective...

we’ve got iveco trucks but I don’t recommend these for Bangladesh.

Those are Interceptor light armored vehicles, Made in Pakistan by Cavalier Group. They also make a heavier three axle version.

This is the home of the East Bengal Regiment in Chittagong. The EBR is the only regiment in all of South Asian military history to engage in war and defeat units of both the Indian and Pakistani armies.

Type 69IIG of Bangladesh Army

the roadwheels are jacked with mud

 

[Bilal9]

Type 69IIG of Bangladesh Army has been modified with a NATO-round compatible 105mm bore rifled gun, and can fire ATGM's like these (FALARICK 105),



SPECS
Maximum firing range, 5000m
Flight time at maximum range, 17 seconds
Guidance system, Semiautomatic by laser beam
Warhead:
- type, tandem hollow-charge
- armour penetration behind ERA, not less than 550 mm

This is cheap counter against MBT's.

Avg. Western MBT price is around 7 to 10 Million USD.

You can buy 150-300 of these ATGM's for that price.

Here is an Abrams being blown up (my condolences to the families of the warriors in it). It was an early Kornet model that was used against it.
