Our last international war was a small spat with Thailand about 12 years ago. They kicked our *** with their air superiority. That got a lot of majors and some generals fired. In the 10 years since the Tatmadaw (Burmese army) has transformed itself from a light infantry based force into a modern 3 dimensional (land, air, sea) force, upgrading everything. They have spent unprecendented levels on arms in the past 10 years. They even built their own frigate! They have N. Korean scuds and are trying to build their own missiles. I just objectively do not see anything other than a heavy defeat for Bangladesh if you attack us. I will also add that you would unify the whole nation behind the army and ASEAN will shun you completely if you attack us.
hahaha...
There never was any 'international war' with Thailand. If there had been the case, then Rangoon would have already fallen to the Thais
There was a border conflict back then. And by Thai air power, one RTAF F-16 flew past Burmese troops, and that alone scared them. Funny thing was that the F-16 was on a training mission
