[Homo Sapiens]

Army
The plan of Forces Goal 2030 is to make the Bangladesh Army a well-trained and well-armed force that can defend the territory of Bangladesh from any conventional and unconventional threat. As per the plan, the Bangladesh Army will be divided into two separate commands: eastern command and western command. The number of divisions will be increased from seven to ten. Already, two new divisions have been formed, 17th infantry division at Sylhet[3] and 10th infantry division at Ramu in Cox’s Bazar.[4] Required supporting units are being added. The process is going on to form another infantry division in Barisal. Many new cantonments have been established and are being established.

According to plan, steps have been taken to increase the mobility of the force. Many new APC, IFV etc. are being procured. BTR-80, Otokar Cobra, BOV M11, Lazar BVT etc. APCs and BTR-82A IFV are in the procurement list. The army is also considering self-propelled mortar for mechanized infantry. A contract has been signed for 330 BTR-82A IFV and 10 Armoured recovery vehicle under a $1 billion arms deal with Russia whose delivery will start from the end of 2016.[5]

Steps have been taken to increase the firepower of artillery units. Nora B-52 K2 self-propelled artillery systems have been procured. More self-propelled systems are being considered like the Chinese SH-2 122mm system. One battery of WS-22 Guided Multiple Rocket Launcher System has been procured. Two more batteries of this system will be procured within 2015 to form a full MLRS regiment.[5] More such systems like WS-32, WS-33 etc. will come soon. WS-43 Loitering Attack Munitions will also be added.


The Bangladesh Army has procured 44 MBT-2000 tanks. The Army is not satisfied with their performance, so they are considering other tanks (e.g. T-90 , T-84). Soon a large number of new tanks will be ordered. Meanwhile, 174 Type-59 tanks are being upgraded to Type-59BD standard.

To modernize the signal corps of the Bangladesh Army, new radio equipment and other devices has been procured. SLC-2 weapon locating radar has been added.

An independent air defence brigade has been formed at Dhaka Cantonment. Two regiments of FM 90 surface to air missile will be added by 2016 to enhance air defence capabilities of army.

For anti-tank roles, Metis-M and Kornet E missile systems and PF-98 rocket system have been procured.

One of the major development of the Bangladesh Army is starting of its Future soldier system. The Bangladesh Army has started equipping all of its soldiers with ultra-modern equipment like Night Vision Goggles (NVG), Ballistic helmet, protective eye gear, kevlar bulletproof vests, hand to hand communicators, palmtop GPS devices and modern homemade BD-08 MK2 assault rifles with ACOG sight.

The Bangladesh government is also working to modernize the army aviation wing. Two Eurocopter AS365 Dauphins has been been inducted in 2012.[6] A new contract has been signed for six Mil Mi-171 helicopters from Russia under the $1 billion arms deal.[5] Two CN-235 transport aircraft for Army aviation has been ordered from Spain recently.

One of the epoch making decisions was the induction of Unmanned aerial vehicles in Bangladesh Army. Bangladesh Army has ordered unknown numbers of CH-3A UCAV and CH-91 UAV from China in 2015.

An important feature of Forces Goal-2030 is to develop an indigenous defence industry. Currently, Bangladesh Ordnance Factories (BOF) is making BD-08 and BD-08MK2 assault rifles and LMGs. The factory has the capability to produce 14000 rifles with 600000 grenades and 400000 cartridges annually. Bangladesh is also producing artillery shells domestically. Bangladesh Machine Tools Factory (BMTF) is assembling utility trucks for the army called " Arunima Baliyan ". BMTF is going to start assembling WS-22 rocket launcher systems soon. In 2015, BOF successfully tested 60mm and 82mm mortars and mortar shells.[7] A missile assembling plant, explosives testing lab, bullet-proof jacket production plant and APC manufacturing plant are being established for further development of the defence industry.[5] Soon, the assembly of FN-16 MANPADS will start in Bangladesh under ToT from China.[8]

Navy
Bangladesh gained a vast sea area in the Bay of Bengal after resolving disputes with India and Myanmar in the international forum. But, so far Bangladesh had only a coastal navy with limited capacity to patrol the deep sea area. The government of Bangladesh soon understood the necessity of a well-equipped navy with the capabilities to face any conventional or unconventional threats. As a result, in Forces Goal 2030, improving the Navy was of the highest importance.

The Navy's surface combat capability has been greatly increased. Since the introduction of Forces Goal 2030, a large number of new and refurbished vessels have been added to the fleet. Many old vessels have been decommissioned. Two Ex-Royal Navy frigates, BNS Abu Bakar and BNS Ali Haider have been replaced by two Chinese off the shelf Type 053H2 frigates. The US Coast Guard has provided two Hamilton class high endurance cutters, which are being used as frigates. These vessels, BNS Somudra Joy and BNS Somudra Avijan, will be equipped with anti-ship missiles, SAMs, CIWS and torpedos soon. Meanwhile, another Hamilton class cutter may be offered to Bangladesh soon. The US Coast Guard also offered two Island-class patrol boats whose acceptance remains pending.[9]

Two Ex-Royal Navy Castle-class patrol vessels have been equipped with anti-ship missiles and now are serving as corvettes, named BNS Dhaleshwari and BNS Bijoy. Besides, the Bangladesh Navy bought two Type 056 corvettes, BNS Shadhinota and BNS Prottoy which will be commissioned in 2015. Bangladesh Navy may order two more Type 056 corvette from China.[9]

To enhance patrolling capacity, Bangladesh Navy acquired two Durjoy-class LPCs, BNS Durjoy and BNS Nirmul in 2013 from China. Besides, five homemade Padma-class Patrol Vessels were commissioned in 2013 and 2014. To increase surveying capacity, BN got an Ex-Royal Navy survey ship, commissioned as BNS Anushandhan.

The Bangladesh Navy inaugurated its aviation wing in 2011 with the induction of two AgustaWestland AW109 helicopters. In 2013, two Dornier 228 NGs were added. Soon three Harbin Z-9C helicopters will be added to the fleet.

To form a three-dimensional force, the Bangladesh Navy is on the verge of adding submarines to its fleet. Two refurbished Type 035G Submarines procured by Navy will join the fleet by 2016. BN has planned to further increase its submarine feet by adding two more submarines by 2019. The Russian Kilo-class submarine is the frontrunner.

To enhance the capacity to make equipment at home, several steps have been taken. In 2013, Bangladesh Navy has taken the delivery of its first homemade warship. It was a Padma-class Patrol Vessel, BNS Padma, built at Khulna Shipyard. Later on, four such vessels were delivered. In 2014, Khulna Shipyard signed a contract with BN to construct two Durjoy-class LPCs, expected to be delivered by 2016. Bangladesh also acquired the technology for the Type 056 corvette and plans to build some by 2019. Besides, several LCUs and LCTs were also built there. Narayanganj Dockyard constructed two LCTs for the Navy, finished in 2015. An oil tanker, made by Ananda Shipyard, was commissioned in 2015.

Bangladesh Navy has sought Tk.4000 crore (40 billion) from the government to buy two new frigates, Tk.1000 crore (10B) for two old frigates, Tk.1,600 crore (16B) for two corvettes, Tk.800 crore (8B) for two large patrol craft, Tk.200 crore (2B) for two patrol ships, Tk.200 crore (2B) for a training ship, Tk.200 crore (2B) for a logistic ship, Tk.100 crore (1B) for a fleet tanker, Tk.400 crore (4B) for four mine counter measure vessels, Tk.240 crore (2.4B) for a floating dockyard, Tk.250 crore (2.5B) for two maritime patrol aircraft (MPA), Tk. 160 crore (1.6B) for two helicopters, Tk. 1,000 crore (10B) for an oceanographic research vessel, and Tk. 400 crore (4B) to procure a rescue and salvage ship by 2020.[10] Sources stated that, within 2016 Bangladesh Navy will get 11 naval vessels.

Bangladesh is also negotiating with China for a loan of $1 billion to set up different infrastructures and to buy naval equipment.


The Navy is looking forward to set up a shore based coastal defence system. Several offers have been received from Russia, India and China but BN has yet to decide. Russia offered a combination of BAL E and Klub M systems, India offered BrahMos coastal defence system and China offered a combination of C-602 and CX-1 systems and other sensors.

A submarine base is under construction at Pekua in Cox's Bazar. The Bangladesh Navy plans to set up a new base at Rabanabad in Patuakhali, which will be the largest naval base in the country. The base will have submarine berthing and aviation facilities.

Air Force
Forces Goal 2030 contains plans to make the Bangladesh Air Force a technologically advanced, well-trained and well-equipped force which can deter any threat and defend the sky of Bangladesh. These plans emphasize strengthening both air power and air defense capabilities.

For continuous surveillance of air space, the Air Force has bought a large number of modern radar systems in last few years.JH-16 and YLC-2 radar systems have been procured from China in 2013 while JY-11B system will be delivered soon. Gamma DE and Kasta 2E radar systems purchased from Russia under the $1 billion defense deal will be delivered by 2015.

In 2011, BAF inducted its first SAM system, the FM 90, from China. In 2014, BAF procured one regiment of LY-80E medium range SAM systems which will be delivered in 2015.

BAF is currently modernizing its old fleet of trainers. Within 2016, 12 new PT-6 Basic trainers will be procured which will replace the fleet of old PT-6s. BAF procured nine K-8 Advance jet trainers to compliment the fleet of seven L-39s. In 2015, BAF inducted three Let L-410 Turbolets into a newly formed squadron of Transport trainers. The Air Force also procured 16 Yakovlev Yak-130 Lead-in fighter trainer aircraft under the defence deal with Russia. Delivery will be completed in the first quarter of 2016.


The Bangladesh Air Force procured eight Mil Mi-171Sh helicopters from Russia which can be used for both transport and attack roles. Soon, one Mil Mi-171E helicopter will be procured. BAF also ordered two AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters from Italy which will be used for maritime SAR operations.

Four Lockheed C-130 Hercules are currently in the process of being procured from the US Air Force, along with 20 Rolls-Royce T56 engines, training and other equipment and services associated with the upgrade.

Bangladesh Air Force has an ambitious plan of acquiring ten squadrons of 4++ generations fighters by 2030. These ten squadrons will comprise of four multirole and six air superiority squadrons. BAF is planning to have at least four squadrons of 4++ generation fighters by 2021. The Mig-35 and Su-30 are the frontrunners among other aircraft being evaluated by Air Force officials.

The Bangladesh government is also constructing different infrastructures for the development of Air Force. Two new bases have been set up. One is Bangabandhu air base at Dhaka and another is a forward operation base at Cox’s Bazar.

nice..!! a big plan for small country..!!

our population is 8th largest .

 

[Luffy 500]

The goal should be to be part of India's eastern command as the 30th state of India. Other than that its a waste of scarce resources on a lobotomized organization.

 

[bongbang]

^^^ At least dont be a part of or another Pakistan. Bangladesh itself is another separate India.

 

[bdslph]

its from wikepidia so it is many not true

 

[GreenDeer]

By 2030, Bangladesh should able make their own fighter jet

 

[Aung Zaya]

our population is 8th largest .

i means total area of ur country , not ur population.. already known Bd is one of the most populated country in the world..

 

[chaanmia]

i means total area of ur country , not ur population.. already known Bd is one of the most populated country in the world..

and the duty of armed forces is to protect the population so it's not a big plan at all

The goal should be to be part of India's eastern command as the 30th state of India. Other than that its a waste of scarce resources on a lobotomized organization.

Of course it is but how do you know that? @bongbang what the hell man i thought RAW kept it secret

 

[Homo Sapiens]

i means total area of ur country , not ur population.. already known Bd is one of the most populated country in the world..

Is total area have anything to do with how militarily powerful a country is? If total area of a country was the main determinant factor of military prowess then Greenland,Mongolia,Congo,Kazakhstan,Canada would have been major military power in the world rather than Israel,UK,Germany or Japan.Stop deluding yourself that just because Burma have bigger landmass than Bangladesh it can become more militarily powerful than Bangladesh.Without manpower and economic power you can never become a military power even if you have half of the world's landmass.

 

[bongbang]

Of course it is but how do you know that? @bongbang what the hell man i thought RAW kept it secret

It should be first and foremost agenda of RAW,NSI,DGFI to not join India, BD, Pakistan together again. As long as extreme religious groups are active. The way these people taken life and destabilized regions are mind blowing. Only way possible when people are free from these shackles. First sign should be there is no Luffy type characters online. Yes they want to unify these countries again. Because in 3 countries they are under boots and heavily crushed. Paying the price for dividing people on communal lines. Its not BD people who wants to unify with India but these religious clans who wants fresh start of violence again, reuniting with their counterparts in those countries. Can you imagine what kinds demon waiting for us if it becomes reality what he is wishing.
