Different tools for diferent jobs, you don't use a sledge hammer to crack a nut.
 
. .
*Bullet Proof Ballistic Helmet = 12,000/- taka
*Hand to Hand communicator set = 45,000/- taka
*Night Vision Devise, NVG(II) = 180,000/- taka
*Global Positioning System or GPS(ডান হাতে মিনি স্ক্রিন মনিটর) = 168,000/- taka
*Kevler Bullet Proof vest = 188,000/- taka
*New BD-08 Mark II assault rifle = 32,000/- taka
*4x optical ACOG sight = 40,000/- taka
*Eye Protective Gear = 6,000/- taka

So, 700000 taka Gadget for one soldier.

Oh my god it would take us 2 billion dollar to upgrade at that standard for 250000 soldier. intriguing thing a soldier main component weapon cost only 32000 taka so chip .:(

sure i think we should increase t the similar rate of our average GDP growth of 6% each year to build a formidable armed force.
 
.
dont u think BD should make medium upgrade which cost around 5000 and the rest 1.5 billion will be in buying a new small arms like Thailand..?

BD's GDP rocketed since several year ago.. that can maintain army's modernization.. :D
 
.
agree.. mate.. BD amy equipment just surprise me.. and its price differences as well.. :D

Well 2 points, less then a decade ago BD had very little disposable money to buy stuff. Now the economy has started to change, exports are growing fast, imports are growing at a slower pace with low oil prices etc and remittances are at a all time high leaving BD with a trade surplus. in essence the economy is doing well, so we can buy stuff.

Second point, if anything looks expensive it prob is, lot of prices are inflated so ministers and other people can take a huge cut.
