Bangladeshi navy successfully fires long range missile

[U-571]

i am happy our brothers have made some achievement in defence field but i think this is more india-china confrontation than simply bengalis getting armed for india, china assists bg and pak for its own needs, china wants to increase its influence in the indian ocean!!!!

Do you feel threatened by the test. Well it seems when India detonates atomic bomb it is for peaceful purpose and when a neighbour test an anti ship missile it creates tension in the region.

don't link atom bomb to a missile test. Point is simple what is the need for anti ship missile and all. Why it is being tested? To be used against whom? India right. but why against India? Has India ever attacked bangladesh or trying to do that?

India Army and Bangladesh army have had a number of skirmishes on the border and a number of Bangladeshi civilians have been killed by the Indian army. Does this not mean that Bangladesh should strengthen its defense.

While India is arming itself to teeth doesn't its neighbour have right to respond according to their needs or India alone has that right.

get the things correct first it's BSF posted there not army. So there is no aggressive posture there.

well seems like bangladesh is trying to create unnecessary tension by doing this "test". Doesn't sound good for security in the region.

On the contrary, a self reliant neighbourhood is good for the region. We are after all as strong as the weakest link.

A small achievement by Bangalis should not be taken as a great threat.
They cannot take over Indi with this BUT they can surely not let India take them. As they say minimal deterence.

Good for Bangladesh. Keep it up!
