god has given u big mouth and smaller body AND SMALLEST BRAIN.
It seems that our various military purchases and now the tank upgrading have made the Indians a little shaky. This is why they are contesting each other with bickering. BA has only a little more than 1,000 tanks against India's 3000+ number. So, what makes them so shaky, a question we deserve answer from the Indians. BA is not seeking a war with India, isn't it?
Let me point you to the second post of the thread:
Indeed, it was Indians that started bickering!

read the first reply from your countryman ukbengali.
BTW BA has 1000 tanks? BA has 360 tanks out of which apart from 44 MBT-2000 rest are of very old generation.
Shortly, the number of 3rd generation main battle tanks will exceed 1000 units.
Actual figure:
1) MBT-2000 main battle tank: 44
2) Type 69-II Mk.2G main battle tank: 185
3) Type 69-II main battle tank: 290
4) Type 59/59II main battle tank: 90-264, and 300 more on order
Both Type 59/59II, in the process of being upgraded. A heavily modernized variant approaching 3rd-generation standard with a new welded turret similar to the Type 96 replacing the original cast turret and a 125mm main gun with semi-automatic loader.
5) In service with PLA and upgrading by Bangladesh Army: around 300 Type 59G or Type -59AGM are to be procured and upgraded by the Bangladesh Army.
6) T-54/55 Light Tank 122 (T-54s were ordered in 1973 from Egypt and delivered in 1975. T-55s were ordered in 1975 from Egypt and delivered in 1975 (the vehicles were previously in Egypt service). Modernized T-54s and T-55s with laser rangefinders and improved armor protection are currently in service.
