Probably the SY-400 missiles. It does not look like a air base though.

All the AF bases are being modified to accommodate incoming Su 30.

The trucks are probably TEL vehicles for S 75M Volga SAM. MAF use S 75M Volga SAM for airfield protection. Eventhough KS 1B are inducted, Volga are kept upgraded and digitized to serve as an effective static AD system.

They are DMRs. They probably bought it from Thailand. But some of them look like DI's MA-S.

87% based on 2014 census.

87% based on 2014 census.

I read a CIA report where they said that now it is 90% as the Rohingyas are not anymore living in the Rakhine state.

Do the CHT Buddhists(and Bengali ones like you to a lesser extent) find more affinity with their cross border counterparts compared to BD?

No it's not anything like that. In Bangladesh, hindu, muslims, buddhists everyone loves their country but practicing muslims also have soft corner for Pakistan, Turkey, Palestine. Hindus have soft corner for India.

We Buddhists have soft corner for Myanmar, Sri lanka and Thailand as they are Buddhist majority nations however we like Myanmar the most amongst them at least I personally like Myanmar. This is because Buddhists of Bangladesh and Myanmar are culturally similar. I am a Barua Bengali Buddhist but our Buddhist culture is similar to the Burmese and that's why we have support for Myanmar and not much for Sri lanka or Thailand.

Also we Bangladeshi Buddhists use some Burmese word like in Burmese/Arakanese the Buddhist temples are called Kyang and Zedi and we also use Kyang and Zedi for Buddhist temples.

Each year thousands of Buddhists from Bangladesh visits Myanmar to conduct pilgrimage. I personally want to visit the Mahamuni Pagoda as I heard it is a Buddha statue which was blessed by lord Buddha himself.

This is a Buddhist pagoda in Chittagong. This is a Arakanese/Burmese styled kyang and my most favourite kyang. I have visited this place for many times.

Buddha Dhatu Jadi in balaghata town really looks like burmese temples with similar architecture.

Chittagong was once ruled by Arakanese kings. We have hundreds of Buddhist temples built by Arakanese king Sanda Thudamma.

We also have temples built by Mons and Burmese. I saw one Burmese temple in Cox's Bazaar.

The Dhatu Zedi of Bangladesh has the holy relic of Lord Buddha gifted to the head monk by the State Sangha Nayaka Committee of Myanmar.

Guys will be Burmese government support China or India if the current Sino Indian conflict escalates into a major regional crisis? Will Myanmar government support China like always or will they remain neutral as Myanmar is also a friend of India?
