The Bangladesh Army has started inducting fourth-generation China-made MTB-2000 tanks and a weapons locating radar procured through outright purchase, according to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

"This is the first time our army is getting such new and ultramodern tanks, all bought with our own funds," she announced during an induction ceremony of the Army Aviation Group area at Tejgaon on Thursday.

Bangladesh has placed an order for 44 of these MBT2000 tanks that closely resembles the Al Khalid tanks in the service of the Pakistan army since 2001.

"This will further enrich the armoured corps of Bangladesh…Military power will increase. That is why this is a unique day for the nation," the Prime Minister proudly claimed.

The MTB-2000 tanks, once refueled totally, can travel up to 400 kilometres at 61 kilometres per hour on normal roads.

Laced with anti-explosive armour, the MTB-2000 can fire 125mm shells via computer controls. It has one 7.62mm and other 12.7mm machine guns.

"We have decided to upgrade some more T-59 tanks," she said. "We will soon bring Sound Ranging Equipment from England…it will be added on to the artillery corps… Enemy canons, rockets and long range artilleries can be easily detected with this".

Russia Pledges $1 Bln Arms Loan to Bangladesh

MOSCOW, January 15 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will issue a $1 billion loan to Bangladesh for purchases of Russian-made arms and military equipment, Russian President Vladimir Putin said after talks with Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday.
“Russia…will allocate a $1 billion loan to Bangladesh for purchases of Russian arms and military equipment,” Putin said.
Bangladesh is likely to use the cash to buy MiG-29SMT fighter jets and upgrade an earlier batch of MiG-29s, as well as buying BTR-80 armored vehicles and Mi-171 military helicopters, Russian military analyst Igor Korotchenko said.

The deal is part of an array of agreements signed during Putin’s talks with Hasina in Moscow on Tuesday. The two countries also settled on a project to jointly build Bangladesh’s first nuclear power plant and signed memorandums of understanding in various spheres, including anti-terrorism, justice, healthcare and education.

Le Bangladesh va acheter ses premiers sous-marins
Par Rédacteur en chef.
Publié le 25 janvier 2013, dernière mise à jour le 25 janvier 2013.
Le Bangladesh va acheter ses premiers sous-marins pour renforcer sa puissance navale dans le golfe du Bengale, a déclaré le premier ministre Sheikh Hasina, quelques jours seulement après avoir signé un important contrat de défense.

« Nous avons pris la décision d’ajouter très prochainement des sous-marins et une base sous-marine à notre marine pour en faire une force de dissuasion, » a déclaré Hasina alors qu’elle présidait la cérémonie d’admission au service du 1er bâtiment de guerre construit dans le pays. « Nous allons construire une marine moderne, capable d’agir dans les 3 dimensions, pour les générations futures. Elle pourra faire face à n’importe quel défi pendant une guerre sur notre frontière maritime. »

Cette annonce est le signe le plus récent de la volonté de Hasina de faire des dépenses importantes dans la défense, seulement 9 jours après avoir signé un contrat avec la Russie pour l’achat de chasseurs d’entraînement, d’hélicoptères et de missiles anti-chars.

La premier ministre Hasina n’a donné aucun détails sur le nombre de sous-marins que le pays pourrait acheter, ni auprès de qui. Un général de l’armée a déclaré à des journalistes que le Bangladesh négociait avec la Chine sur ce sujet.

Navy to get 2 submarines

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said her government had moved to
purchase two submarines and a coast guard cutter for Bangladesh Navy to
modernise and strengthen the force.

“Activities are going on to purchase two submarines from a friendly country,”
she told parliament while replying to a lawmaker's scripted query on her
government's efforts to modernise the navy, army and air force.

Hasina, however, did not mention the name of the country friendly to
Bangladesh and the timeframe for completing the purchase.

The coast guard cutter will be purchased from the USA, she said.

According to a report prepared by the navy in early 2009, the force has
planned to introduce an aviation wing and a submarine to its fleet to obtain
capability of a three-dimensional force.

The force has already taken steps to build infrastructure and train up its
personnel, said the report sent to the armed forces division, a wing under the
prime minister's office.

In her scripted answer, the premier said her government has already purchased
missile, torpedo for destroying ship and submarine, depth charge, rocket
launcher, canon, radar and other weapons for the navy.

Earlier on June 13 last year, Planning Minister AK Khandker, who is in charge
of the defence ministry in the parliamentary affairs, told parliament that the
government has moved to purchase two off-the-shelf [readymade] frigates, two
large patrol crafts, two maritime patrol aircrafts and five patrol crafts for
the navy.

In scripted answer to the query, the premier also described her government's
various measures to modernise and strengthen the army and air force.

She said two new army commands and an infantry division, two air defence
brigades, more than one armoured, artillery and engineering battalions and other
necessary supportive units will be added to the army to strengthen the force as
part of implementation of the forces goal-2030.

The forces goal will be implemented in four phases in light of the defence
policy formulated by the then Bangabandhu-led government in 1974, Hasina told
the House.

Besides, she said, the government has moved to purchase fourth generation
MBT-2000 tanks, multi-launcher rocket system, weapon locating radar, automatic
grenade launcher, anti-tank weapon, non-guided anti-tank weapon, anti-tank
guided missiles etc for the army.

“The activities will begin this financial year to buy multiple rocket launch
system, weapon locating radar, ground surveillance radar and aircrafts carrying
soldiers,” said Hasina, who also holds the defence portfolio.

She also mentioned that a process was underway to purchase modern
euro-copter, light fixed-wing aircraft and armoured and anti-air weapons for the
army.

“As part of expansion of the army and its modernisation, efforts are under
way to establish an air defence regiment,” she added.

To modernise the air force under the forces goal-2030, she said her
government has moved to buy air defence radar, fighter planes, air-to-air
missiles, etc.

Hasina also informed the House about some other defence purchases already
done for the armed forces.

La marine du Bangladesh a choisi de se renforcer sensiblement avec l’aide de la Chine : elle va ainsi acquérir 2 frégates d’occasion du type Jianghu III chinoises en 2013, alors que deux corvettes du type 056 ont été commandées (la construction de la première a débuté à Wuhan en janvier 2013) ; la Chine va également lui livrer 2 patrouilleurs lance-missiles de 650 t (Durjoy et Nirmul) en 2013 et l’aide à construire 5 patrouilleurs à Khulna (le premier, le Padma, a été mis en service le 24 janvier 2013) et à mettre en place des missiles antinavires C 704 sur les 2 patrouilleurs du type Castle qu’elle a achetés à la Royal Navy en 2010 en même temps que le navire hydrographique Roebuck. L’US Coast Guard va, par ailleurs, transférer au Bangladesh le cotre Jarvis du type Hamilton, qui a été désarmé en décembre 2012 à l’âge 40 ans. Deux sous-marins du type Ming ou Song auraient, de plus, été achetés d’occasion à la marine chinoise.

Bangladesh Plans to Buy 24 Russian Jet Trainers

LANGKAWI (Malaysia), March 27 (RIA Novosti) - Bangladesh is planning to buy 24 Yak-130 Mitten jet trainers on $1 billion credit from Russia, Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport said on Wednesday.
“Bangladesh has a whole list of arms it wants, but so far that is a state secret. I will reveal one little secret: The purchase of Yak-130 warplanes is a very significant subject of negotiations between Russia and Bangladesh,” Rosoboronexport Deputy Chief Viktor Komardin said at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace exhibition (LIMA-2013) that opened in Malaysia on Tuesday.
He added that negotiations on Yak-130s are due to begin later this spring.
Russia granted Bangladesh a $1 billion credit during the Bangladeshi prime minister’s visit to Moscow in January.
Some 20 Russian companies are taking part in LIMA-2013, which has been held since 1991, including top aircraft manufacturers and the state-owned United Industrial Corporation (Oboronprom), which produces helicopters, aircraft engines and air defense systems.
The Yak-130 is a highly maneuverable aircraft with an extended range of about 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) and a maximum speed of 1,060 kilometers per hour (600 miles per hour) in level flight. It can carry a combat payload of up to 3,000 kilograms (6,600 pounds).
The Yak-130 has been chosen as a basic aircraft for Russian Air Force pilot training. First deliveries began in 2009.

Bangladesh gets its first Hamilton class cutter

Published By United Press International



DHAKA, Bangladesh, May 30 (UPI) -- Bangladesh received it first decommissioned Hamilton class cutter from the U.S. Coast Guard at a ceremony on Coast Guard Island in Alameda, Calif.

The Coast Guard transferred the 3,300-ton cutter, formerly the USCGC Jarvis, to a 20-member team from the Bangladeshi navy.

The Jarvis -- decommissioned in October and renamed BNS Somudro Joy -- was sold to Bangladesh as an excess defense article through a foreign military sales program, the Bangladeshi news website bdnews24.com reported.

At the ceremony were U.S. Coast Guard Vice Adm. Paul F. Zukunft, Cmdr. Coast Guard Pacific Area and Chief of Naval Staff for the Bangladeshi navy Vice Adm. Muhammad Farid Habib, a report by the Bangladesh military website bdmilitary.com said.

The ship's commanding officer Capt. Mohammad Nazmul Karim arrived in Alameda in March to begin preparations to accept the Jarvis. Another 70 crew members arrived this month.

Around 26 former Jarvis crew members will advise the Bangladeshi crew until Somudro Joy sails for Bangladesh this year.

The 378-foot Somudro Joy, which has a helicopter landing deck and hangar, is powered by two Pratt and Whitney gas turbines and two Fairbanks-Morse diesel engines.

The Bangladeshi navy said the guided missile frigate, now the largest vessel in the fleet, will receive a further refit and upgrades after arriving in Bangladesh, bdmilitary.com reported.

Planned upgrades include boosting the vessel's combat capability with more AShM and SAM launchers.

The Jarvis was built by Avondale Shipyards and commissioned in 1972 and will be replaced by Legend class National Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Somudro Joy joins the BNS Bangabandhu guided missile frigate built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in the South Korea and commissioned in 2001.

In January, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina commissioned the BNS Padma, the first Bangladeshi-built warship, at the Titumir Naval Base, near Khunla, around 90 miles south of Dhaka.

The 160-foot frigate cost around $7.4 million and has four 37mm and two 20mm cannons, the Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha news agency reported.

At the commissioning, Hasina said the navies of China, India and Myanmar are becoming more active in the Bay of Bengal and Bangladesh needs the Padma to protect its coastal waters.

Hasina also said the country is on target to purchase two submarines but didn't say where the vessels would come from.

Activities are going on to purchase two submarines from a friendly country," she told Parliament while replying to a written question on her government's efforts to modernize the navy, army and air force.
