HISAR airdefence missile system

[SpaceMan18]

As gracious and kind as your comments are about our armed forces, I believe the future holds only qualitative improvements for the army, navy and air-force - not quantitative ones. Bangladesh needs to defend our sovereignty with improvements in quality of resources, equipment and personnel (and not just quantity) from now on.

Pakistan's armed forces are maintained at altogether different readiness levels because of belligerent posture with India, there is no comparison with Bangladesh forces. The funds and resources expended in Pakistan for their armed forces are also at another level compared to Bangladesh (GDP level wise). So - we will have different composition for our armed forces by 2040, ours will have some better weapons compared to today, but I wouldn't venture a comparison with Pakistan. The strategy and engagement rules are different (even when belligerence does break out, which I hope it doesn't).

We need peace in the subcontinent to better the living standards of our populace WHILE defending against any threats to our national sovereignties. Peace must be the first option.

However I am not an expert on Bangladesh armed forces doctrine, I only scratch the surface with my comments and my proof/evidence is only anecdotal, not gained by personal experience by being an ex-military person.

Bangladesh in area is very small, much smaller than the area of Pakistan, and is surrounded on three sides by India and on one side by Myanmar. Also, the terrain/climate/fighting tactics are very different in Bangladesh compared to Pakistan.

That dictates different engagement strategy for all armed forces groups, particularly for the air force...but also for army in the sense of the seasons in which warfighting engagements can occur...

Indian army did not dare set foot in Bangladesh territory from March until late November in 1971. Their commanders knew what they'd be getting into and wisely delayed incursion of mechanized infantry. They let the Bangladeshi fighters fight their war via attrition.

However, more on point, by 2040 I see an expeditionary rapid-response elite amphibious commando component (Bangladesh Marines) group being raised for operations that combine elite naval, air force and army components and tactics. It could benchmark the Royal, PLAMC and US Marines practices and have their own warfighting assets, just like those marine forces do.

I am sure in this sense the Pakistan Marines would be a great example to emulate as well.

I will wait for @F-6 enthusiast bhai, @Michael Corleone bhai and @DalalErMaNodi bhai to comment on this DefSecastuff. I mean to verify for real...

I will only believe when @idune confirms and explains how this is another example of BD being enslaved by India.

Mama Marine Corps ei joog e redundant. Bangladesh Army and Navy both have amphibious capabilities which can easily be expanded.

BD is at last doing something right for her air defense!!! 50 years into existence, yet not 50 decent jets in her air force!!! In fact, she has only 8 front-line jets purchased in 1999...

Okay happy to hear some positive words fro you for the first time! Truly happy to hear that from you!

You know it is a good post when I like @Hakikat ve Hikmet's posts.

I know that. As you and @Mage are the first two who started translation in Turkish. And later I just followed you. No idea where mage is. Long time didn't see him.


However , at least @Hakikat ve Hikmet said something positive about Bangladesh ,then both I and you have the generosity to thank him. So I also sincerely thanked him. @Destranator.


Ps - But I don't know what shall be the opinion of my great ustadji @Al-zakir ? It's very important to know my ustadji's opinion, since I am his true disciple ; we both consider khaleda Zia as our pirane pir sahiban!

Hujur @Al-zakir , any opinion?

Old news rehashed again. We should be well versed by now hat Turkish weapons will find more demand from bd

BD is at last doing something right for her air defense!!! 50 years into existence, yet not 50 decent jets in her air force!!! In fact, she has only 8 front-line jets purchased in 1999...

What’s the hakikat of your cavity? Have you no shame?

 

[bluesky]

It's a way over kill....

No, it is not overkilling. Think about the matter in another way. A country with a lessening economic power cannot just maintain its military muscle power for long. Both the gun barrel and bullet come from money.

As I said in another thread that Bd should develop its riverine transportation, here, I would also say instead of following other countries' traditional marine troops, BD should build up a riverine marine corps as this country is downstream of many different rivers whereby India and even Burma is located upstream.

It will offset any of our neighbors to get through the rivers and reach our interior. On the other hand, with motorized vehicles, BD would be able to enter enemy territories.

Riverine warfare is Bangladesh Army's forte. We don't need two different forces.
Bangladesh Army should focus on getting more riverine equipment and pressurise the government to dredge more and more rivers to improve navigability.

- A different name is not necessary but the concept of a riverine corpse under or not under the BA is important.

- BA needs more shallow draft boats/ ships that can move on the surface of almost any water of the country.

- Dredging all the rivers may need a trillion dollars/ $1,000 billion or more. Do you want the govt to print dollars and buy dredgers from western countries?

- Do not you think a deeper river will cause celebration in India because they will then be able to move without hindrance in our rivers. খাল কেটে কুমির আনা আর কাহাকে বলে?
