Is Bangladesh army in Lebanon or is it just the navy for the UN mission.
I want Bangladesh army to fight the israelis at least once in my lifetime.
Any truth to this or Defseca just being Defseca?
Why are we getting VT5s?? It has steel armor that any modern APFSDS will penetrate..type 59 has very old composite armor that any modern apfsds will penetrate...what purpose will it serve that type59(durjoy) couldn't?? VT5 with armor package weighs around 36tonnes...type 59 weighs around the same at basic config...how much could the era and the new gun possibly add? 4 tonnes?? durjoy still has a bigger gun...the only upside I see is that VT5 has better power to weight ratio...is that it? or are there any other upsides?
VT5 was specifically designed to be nimble in traversing mountaineous terrain.
Though if you asked me, I'd prefer a wheeled tank over any tracked vehicle any day, for that role. Way more nimble in turning circles than any tracked vehicle.
This is a Centauro B1T (Italy). JASDF has a similar vehicle, but as we all know - Japan does not sell defence items to other countries. Even if they did, they'd be much more expensive than other competitive items worldwide.
Bangladesh is pretty flat...how would you compare vt5 and type 59 at regular altitude?what do you mean???
tracked vehicles could turning 360 degrees without moving forward an inch.
German example:
though tracked vehicles have a lower top speed, over rough terrain, tracked vehicles are actually faster.
VT5 is meant for high altitudes and very rough terrain ,in such a situation it could run circles around something like the type-59, since its engines are optimize to keep providing high power at such altitudes while something like the type-59 might lose 40% of its engine power.
