India to supply ammunition to Bangladesh

[SpArK]

Both should work on modalities as of what is a successful supply among the Indian products.

Ammunition for artillery and repair for the equipment's are a good start.

Wait what?

In BoF, we also produce ammunition for tanks and artillery guns but in small quantity. Now if they want to sell, surely the proposal will go through our military and then shall the agreement come. And i am confident they wont take any wrong decision.

If Dhaka 'hinted' and the stuffs are good with reasonable price, i do not see any problem. These are just some ammunition for tanks for God sake which we ourselves produce and have other major suppliers...we aint buying planes and missiles to start with.

Plus nothing is confirmed yet. Govt. cant do $|-|!t if our army does not agree.

If India earlier offered to repair our Migs, this is nothing...please dont make it a big issue.



Cheers!!!

APC?maintaining APC?
what does this mean

APC stands for Acquisition and Production costs in business sense. APC maintenance contract generally means that, a company say has some computers and peripherals it wants to be looked after, like their maintenance and also advise on new ones to be brought then the person or entity (which means registered) who has got this contract will do that for some money.

Where this dalal govt will take us thats now clear . we are surround by India in three side and one side with Myanmar . so any attack can only come from this two country . how can we start relying on Indian ammunition for our arm forces then ?

this is probably one of those remarks without any thought! USA and Russia weren't neighbors but were at civil war, neither is Afghanistan and USA neighbors, nor Iraq, nor Vietnam.. if you go to war, it can happen with ANYONE and not necessarily ONLY NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.

In Bangladesh any possibility of civil war is unlikely . In Iraq there were huge interest for USA like oil and in Vietnam it was clash between democracy and communism .
And we are a peace loving country no interest to gong war with any body . our interest is mainly within our national boundary so if any clash happens its likely to happens with neighbor .

1. This sort of feelers are put out by Indian Intel in the media from time to time to tease us. BD armed forces haven't purchased even a pin from India so far and will not do so in the future also.

2. It should be understood that all analysis of threat perception point to India as the only threat to BD's national security, culture and economy. (Burma is a temporary and manageable affair.) This country maintains an army of 7 Divs + giving it the best possible eqpt and manning it with the cream of the youth just because of the attitude and constant pressure of India.

But we will fight with Air force from North, East, West and Navy from South (Bay of Bengal). Why we will need army when BSF and local police are more than enough for the job ? So, your Army will be sitting duck under Jets and Missiles.

You are also correct.

India is your real threat.

And yet Myanmar scares you so much that you rush to the US (as the thread on the Naval Threat from Myanmar reads)!!

Peace loving country??...is that why almost every bangladeshi talks about supporting NE insurgensy in India?
hypocrits!!
and by the way, its the only reason which can cause flaring up of the relations. So its in BD's hands, their future relations with her neighbour.

The Bangladeshi military began its development with weapons surrendered by Pakistani forces and small arms supplied by India to the Mukti Bahini. After Indian forces left the country in October 1972, Mujib turned to India and its primary supplier, the Soviet Union, for military equipment and training. The Soviets supplied MiG-21 aircraft, An-26 transports, and some miscellaneous equipment items. In addition, Egypt transferred thirty Soviet-built (Type 54/55) tanks, and Yugoslavia donated a small naval patrol craft. Following Mujib's assassination, the military looked elsewhere for basic equipment items. Britain sold three aging frigates to Bangladesh, and the United States transferred limited quantities of small arms, mostly for police and paramilitary use. A major breakthrough occurred in 1975, when China extended diplomatic recognition to Bangladesh following the normalization of relations between Dhaka and China's longtime ally, Pakistan. By the early 1980s, China had become Bangladesh's primary supplier of military equipment.

Since the mid-1970s, Bangladesh has sought close relations with oil-rich Arab states, most notably with Saudi Arabia. Shortly after staging the 1982 coup, Ershad traveled to Riyadh to meet with the Saudi leadership. Nine months later, a ten-member Saudi military delegation arrived in Dhaka for talks with their Bangladeshi counterparts and for an inspection tour of military facilities. Press accounts reported that the Saudis were considering a plan to station a Bangladesh Army division (some 15,000 personnel) in the kingdom. The proposal was originally suggested by Zia, according to these reports. Although both governments have consistently denied reports of an impending Bangladeshi troop presence in Saudi Arabia, rumors to this effect persisted in 1988.

In addition to relying on foreign weapons supplies, Bangladesh has looked to other countries for advanced officer training and for education in specialized military skills, such as repairing aircraft engines. Under Mujib, many Bangladeshi officers, including then-Brigadier Ershad, attended Indian military schools and academies. India was largely responsible for training and organizing the Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini, an elite parallel army raised by Mujib in an effort to insulate his regime from coups (see Postindependence Period , this ch.). After Mujib's death and the absorption of the Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini into the regular army, training in India ended, and Indian military advisers were sent home. Bangladeshi military personnel started attending courses in China on a regular basis in the late 1980s. Starting in the late 1970s, the United States annually appropriated International Military Education and Training (IMET) funds to train limited numbers of Bangladeshi officers in the United States. In FY 1988, these IMET funds totaled US$300,000. In return, foreign officers regularly attend one-year courses offered at the Bangladesh Military Academy near Chittagong. The United States, Britain, Indonesia, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Palestine Liberation Organization, and several small Asian and African states have sent military personnel to Bangladesh for staff courses.
