• হোম
• দেশ
• রামু সেনানিবাসে নতুন ৭ ইউনিটের পতাকা উত্তোলন
  
  
  
  কক্সবাজারস্থ রামু ১০ পদাতিক ডিভিশন সেনানিবাসে নবপ্রতিষ্ঠিত সাতটি ইউনিটের পতাকা উত্তোলন করেছেন সেনাবাহিনী প্রধান জেনারেল আবু বেলাল মোহাম্মদ শফিউল হক। বৃহস্পতিবার সকালে তিনি সাতটি ইউনিটের পতাকা উত্তোলন করেন।
  
  
  এর আগে সেনাবাহিনী প্রধান অনুষ্ঠানস্থলে পৌঁছালে ১০ পদাতিক ডিভিশনের জিওসি মেজর জেনরেল আতাউল হাকিম সারওয়ার হাসান তাকে অভ্যর্থনা জানান। পরে প্যারেড কমান্ডার মেজর এরশাদ হোসেন চৌধুরীর নেতৃত্বে সেনাবাহিনীর একটি চৌকস দল কুচকাওয়াজ প্রদর্শন করেন।
  
  এ সময় সেনাপ্রধান বলেন, এই এলাকায় ১০ পদাতিক ডিভিশন প্রতিষ্ঠার মাধ্যমে সার্বিক সামাজিক উন্নয়নের যে আকাঙ্খা সুচিত হয়েছে, তার সফল বাস্তবায়নে ডিভিশনের প্রতিটি সদস্য এগিয়ে আসবে। ১০ পদাতিক ডিভিশনের আরও কিছু নবগঠিত ইউনিটের যাত্রার মাধ্যমে বাংলাদেশ সেনাবাহিনীর উন্নয়ন রূপকল্প ফোর্সেস গোল-২০৩০ এর বাস্তবায়নের পথে আরেকটি মাইলফলক উন্মোচিত হলো।’
  
  পরবর্তীতে সেনাবাহিনী প্রধান রামু সেনানিবাসের নির্মাণাধীন ‘শেকড়’ নামে দশ দিগন্ত যাদুঘরসহ বিভিন্ন উন্নয়ন প্রকল্পের উদ্বোধন করেন। অনুষ্ঠানে সামরিক ও অসামরিক উচ্চপদস্ত কর্মকর্তারা উপস্থিত ছিলেন।
  
  উল্লেখ্য, বাংলাদেশ পর্যটন নগরী কক্সবাজার জেলার রামুতে দুই বছর আগে ১০ পদাতিক ডিভিশন গঠিত হয়। নতুন এ ৭টি ইউনিটের পতাকা উত্তোলনের মাধ্যমে নবপ্রতিষ্ঠিত রামু সেনানিবাসকে পূর্ণাঙ্গ সেনানিবাস হিসেবে প্রতিষ্ঠায় আরেক ধাপ এগিয়ে গেল।

They are trying this platform out, it is a new one. More will come if suitable - I bet. Makes sense that way.

BD should keep an eye on the new AN-132 development. It looks like to be a good option for us.

ukraine's aerospace/ defence is in ruins atm... if bangladesh partners and invest... it will be profit for both nations imo

The main production will be shifted to KSA soon. The development was funded by KSA. I think it will be cheaper than other options too.

main production? you mean for an-132 right? because the other big antonov birds factories are just too huge to shift.... and ukraine's govt for sure wont allow that....
man it's sad to see former defence bureaus used as storage houses today....

yes,I meant the an-132. There is also rumor that KSA might buy an-178 & production line.

Ukraine simply played their cards wrong. After fall of Soviet Union, they had choosed the wrong path to go. It's a good example of how geopolitics can ruin a country.

exactly... should have also kept all their nukes and bombers... preserved if couldn't be maintained and operated.

i heard about the 178 line too... saudi wants to intern have its own capability to manufacture planes....

i think that's a hard sale given antonov makes only few varities... selling every line off is stupid imo.

armys new c-295w..

Thanks for the update M8, now the only mystery remains is if it well have the same Gaudy/Eyesore/Khett paint job as this one !

Guess we'll have to wait till May to find out

Bhai does that mean we are no longer interested in 4 more FMS C-130 'MurirTins' as reported before?

BD should keep an eye on the new AN-132 development. It looks like to be a good option for us.

Obviously our An-32s gonna retire in near future so a straight-up replacement with AN-132 would seem highly logical...Unfortunately our military higher-ups are allergic to logic, so we'll see in the future

Now Comes My Real Question....If the Army has decided to go self reliant on Long-haul Airlift (for UN duties I guess), shouldn't we transfer our existing C-130 fleet to the Army Aviation ?

Yeah well that Gaudy/Eyesore/Khett paint job may be necessary for the Chittagong hill tracts because of the soil and vegetation colors there are similar.....

I don't think the C130's and C295W's have the same role. C295W's may have a regional role for the army at best (mostly local role) for troop movements routine para jumps etc. while C130's have long range ferry aspirations (UN Duty) etc.

The Airbus C295:

• Costs $28 million
• Has a typical range of 2,900 nautical miles
• Can cruise at 30,000 ft.
• Has a max. cruise speed at 260 knots (299 mph)
• Weighs 51,000 lbs with a full payload.
• Powerplant: 2 × Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127G Hamilton Standard 586-F (six bladed), 1,972 kW (2,645 hp) each

While the Antonov/Taqnia AN 132 (AN 32 replacement):

• Unit cost US$ ~20 million
• Cruising speed: 550 km/h (342 mph; 297 kn)
• Range: 4,400 km (2,734 mi; 2,376 nmi)
• Service ceiling: 9,000 m (29,528 ft)
• Full Payload: 20,300 lb
• Powerplant: 2 × Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150A turboprops, 3,781 kW (5,071 shp) each

soil and vegetation colors there are similar

Aircraft colour based on vegetation colour Are we gonna operate our Mi-17s inside dense bushes and mud puddles

Why else are you going to need camouflage?

Dense bushes and mud puddles is what Chittagong hill tracts is. Mi-17s in my opinion is a COIN platform. Counter insurgencies do not happen in urban areas in Bangladesh.
