Myanmar aircraft cross Bangladesh border, fire shells

[Cheepek]

No... it is because we are very very weak and lack courage to fight.

No pass to the burmese is necessary because we have nothing to fight them with realistically even if we tried.

BAF is the most critical element of the tri-service and it has been purposefully kept weak by the lack of imagination of BAF leadership.

As i keep saying BAF needs to be disbanded and management handed over to BA and BN and we need to start again.

BD can cut India into two, wonder why you think you can't fight Myanmar!

Enforce a no fly zone 50 miles into Myanmar along the border to protect civilians. I don’t know if Bangladesh have the capability to do this but they will have international (political) support to do it.

 

[bluesky]

The only reason I can think of is that they struck some sort of deal perhaps brokered by China to give free pass to Burmese for these attacks on Arakan Army within BD territory.

It means Arakan Army troops are inside BD/ Bandarban. So, naturally, MM has the right to bombard their places of hiding.

With what Airforce?

 

[Genghis khan1]

With what Airforce?

Idk wherever they have, Or buy some used JF-17 BLK 1 for dirt cheap price. I bet current govt will ask PAF to sell some BLK 1 for cold hard cash.

Conversation b/w Showbaz shrif to Air chief will be like “ app samj rahin hain main mangny aya hoon, main mangny nhi aya per majboori hy. Hum pori qom din raat mahnat karan gy aur app ko F-35 ly ker dain gy”.

They, don’t.

And what’s worse for Dhaka. This vile enemy Myanmar military has been fighting a insurgency war decades are battle hardened so looks dire, if it flares up

Anything is possible if belief and application is there.

What benefit do you think BD would derive by bisecting India? Unless hindutva india presents an existential threat and war is the least worst option BD wont enter into conflict.

As to myanmer, has the writing been on the wall that a war is coming..... absolutely, any idiot can see it.....can BD prosecute a war.... sure it can, it would be disjointed haphazard enterprise....... has it prepared for it.... no, it has not, it sat around hand wringing for the last 5 years....... can it win..... entirely unlikely..

Does not have the capacity .....period... no one is going to assist either... criminal negligence by illegal BAL government.

They don't have any right to intrude into another sovereign country's territory, unless Bangladesh has authorized them to do it.

Thats the tragedy.... BAL has reduced us to being bullied by moghs....

No authorisation has been given and none necessary from a country that lacks an airforce... it is as simple and sad as that...

Burmese junta is looking for a war to unite their Buddhist hell hole.

They have nothing to lose.

Whilst we have billions of dollars to lose in exports.

Don’t be too supportive of our military.

These guys always dream of becoming president instead of protecting the country.

For now I am glad Hasina has neutered our military.

It has brought a long stretch of civilian rule.

Without civilian rule - country will not prosper.

Military rule always screws a country.

 

[SIPRA]

Seems to be some misunderstanding.

 

[Homo Sapiens]

now i think they are going to call for a flag meeting, call the ambassador, call the husband or urge myanmar not to cross, or file complaints at the UN ... (you know these kind of usual things)
now i saw some people are advising not to start a war. my answer is, dude you have every right to protect your border and your people. that does not mean you also have to fire!. deploy army, BGB with heavy equipment. fly some old jets.

on the other hand, they are using their full power inside the country against the opposition party rather than showing their power on the border.

anyway, it is what it is!!

Just a few days ago Burmese Junta apologized to Thailand for one of their fighter jet briefly violated Thai airspace.

Myanmar Apologizes After Jet Fighter Violated Thai Airspace

The aircraft strayed into Thai airspace on the same day as a Thai military delegation traveled to Naypyidaw for border talks.

​

Do not expect a similar treatment for Bangladesh. Thailand does not maintain a joke armed forces, nor their leadership believe in ''Friendship to all, malice to none'' a revolutionary foreign policy motto upheld by the current govt. of Bangladesh. So, as usual Burmese ambassador will be summoned and handed over a ''strongly worded'' protest note gazillionth time.

Or wife may complain to her husband about his unruly friend.

Sure but the country is defenseless....

We do not have democracy and autocracy does not offer long term stability.

You can not damage one the foundation blocks of a nation state and expect no impact. This is it.... BD is defenseless against the burmese, we should expect another exodus and forfeit even understanding of the word shame

Last time Burmese junta watched firmness from Bangladesh was in 2008 during the MUA-FUA Caretaker govt. Even BNP almost gone to war with the Burmese in 1992 over Rohingya influx. But this govt. in the last 13 years never ever showed any spine when it comes to Myanmar. Less we talk about India is better. Husband has full rights to cultivate his fertile land.(Surah Al Baqarah, Ayah 223).

Alot of things said in this thread are probably true.

It IS possible there is some understanding with China about looking the other way, if you zoom out and see some sort of reapprocahment between China and Bangladesh recently.

Still, it is embarassing the state of affairs for Bangladesh in terms of military capability as well as lack of will to stand up for itself.

Like REALLY REALLY embarassing.
