Bangladesh Air Force's Primary interceptor. F-7BG
Often called the "poorman's F-16".F-7BG is probably the best of its kind.
Major improvements
The F-7BG airframe has essentially the same F-7MB fuselage, inner wing portion, tail plane and fin. The outer wing section incorporates the major change, with a reduced 42 deg sweep and automatic manoeuvring flaps. The F-7BG is powered with an improved and more powerful WP-13 engine, Liyang (LMC) WP-13F (R-13-300) turbojet rated at 44.1kN dry and 66.7kN with afterburning. Additionally, cockpit layout, avionics and several ancillary systems have been changed, in line with modern trends. The important systems that remain unchanged (compared to the J-7E) are the fuel system, weapons payload capacity and internal guns.

No I think its the British origin...Chinese ones are different looking...Accuracy International Arctic Warfare (AI AW 7,62) 7.62x51 sniper rifle.New Sniper rifle of BD army.However,the standard issue of sniper rifle of Bangladesh army remains Type-85[Chinese version of Dragunov SVD].
These AW are probably for special forces.

Fatal beasts...cant wait to see them in our soil...Now some procurement news.Bangladesh is all set to have 155mm Howitzers from China.
Bangladesh ordered Type 88 (PLZ-45) Self-Propelled Howitzer.
Type 88 (PLZ-45) Self-Propelled Howitzer
China North Industries Group Corporation (CNGC) developed the PLZ45/Type 88 155mm self-propelled gun-howitzer system in the early 1990s for the export market. The artillery system is armed with a 155mm main gun derived from the Type 89 (PLL01) 155mm/45-calibre towed gun-howitzer, mounted on a newly-developed tracked chassis. China obtained the 155mm/45-calibre howitzer technology from Austria in the 1980s, and developed its own 155mm/45-calibre howitzer.
Armament
Operated by a crew of five, the PLZ45 is armed with a 155mm, 45-calibre main gun, with a semi-automatic loader and an electrically controlled and hydraulically operated rammer that enables projectile loading to take place at any angle of elevation with the charge being loaded manually. The turret has an elevation of +72 to -3 degrees with 360 degree traverse. The PLZ45 is powered by a 520hp turbocharged diesel, giving a max road speed of 40km/h.
Secondary weapons include a roof-mounted W-85 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and two sets of four-barrel smoke grenade launchers on the turret's side.
Ammunitions are stored at the rear of the turret. A total of 30 rounds for the gun-howitzer and 480 rounds for the machine gun are carried onboard. 24 howitzer rounds are carried in the loader and 6 rounds on the right side below the loader.
The fire-control system of the PLZ45 includes an automatic laying system, optical sighting system, gun orientation and navigation system, and a GPG receiver.
Munitions
The PLZ45 fires a range of Extended Range Full Bore (ERFB) ammunition, including High Explosive (ERFB/HE), Base Bleed High Explosive (ERFB-BB/HE), ERFB-BB/RA, ERFB/WP, ERFB/Illuminating, ERFB/Smoke, and ERFB-BB/Cargo.
China obtained the Russian Krasnopol laser-guided projectile technology in the 1990s, and has successfully developed its own 152/155mm laser-guided ammunitions. Designed to defeat armoured vehicles and weapon emplacements, the projectile has inertial mid-course guidance and semi-active laser homing. The projectile has a range of 3~20km, and can hit a target by the first shot without registration.
Components
A standard PLZ45 battalion consists of 3 batteries, each with 6 PLZ45 self-propelled gun-howitzers (SPGH) and 6 PCZ45 ammunition support vehicles (ASV). Each battery has a battery command post and 3 battery reconnaissance vehicles (BRV), both of which are based on the Type 85 APC. These are supported by W653A armoured recovery vehicles, 704-1 artillery locating and fire correction radar, 702-D meteorological radar, and fire support maintenance vehicles.
Status
The Bangladesh Army has ordered a number of complete PLZ-45 battalions. Deliveries are expected to be complete by 2011.
Artillery units based at Chittagong, Ghatail and Savar cantonments will be equipped with the new self-propelled gun howitzers.

Pakistan also uses PLZ-45,but they are not tracked ones.Bangladesh apparently ordered the tracked PLZ-45.

Air Force aims higher
Seeks major purchases by 2021
Shakhawat Liton
Bangladesh Air Force seeks to urgently purchase one squadron of fighter trainer aircraft and simulators for fighter planes and helicopters, and set up overhauling plants for the existing F-7 fighter planes and MI series helicopters.
It has prepared long-term plans for other major defence purchases by 2021 and beyond to modernise the force, discloses a report of the air force. It also seeks either 10 percent increase in budgetary allocation or special allocation for the next 10 years to achieve the target.
The report, which describes the problems the air force is facing and suggests ways to overcome them, was placed before the parliamentary standing committee on defence ministry on July 14 for discussion.
The Daily Star has obtained a copy of the report.
The plans include purchasing of air defence radars and surface-to-air missile systems to protect important establishments of the force, replacement of A-5, FT-5 and F-7 fighter planes and induction of aircraft for airborne early warning, a system used for directing fighters to targets and counter attacks.
The air force also seeks to turn Cox's Bazar into an advanced base to increase the force's operational capability, approval of an organogram of the Kurmitola base, increase in healthcare facility for the force members and proper steps regarding their salaries and allowances.
The air force suggested that the purchases be completed in phases by 2021.
After 2021, it wants to begin purchasing aircraft in phases to form three air defence squadrons. An air force squadron typically consists of three or four air units, with a total of 12 to 24 aircraft, depending on the type of aircraft and the air force.
In defence of the plans, the report says Bangladesh needs a five-layer strong air defence system to protect its airspace from enemy air attacks.
The mission of Bangladesh Air Force is: "To prepare, operate and maintain an air force capable of projecting air power in order to uphold and promote our national interest", as drafted in light of the responsibilities and duties assigned by the government.
"The air force is proceeding with the dream to build a digital air force keeping consistency with the honourable prime minister's vision," the report says.
It says the budgetary allocation for the air force has been decreased in the last two financial years.
The allocation was increased to 20.90 percent of the total defence budget in FY 2005-06 from 18.56 percent in 2004-05. In FY 2006-07, the air force was given 20.97 percent of the total defence budget. But the allocation was decreased to 15.57 percent in FY 2007-08 and 15.11 percent in FY 2008-09.
In the report, the air force has demanded either 25 percent of the total defence budget or a special allocation in the next 10 years.
Most of the budgetary allocation is spent for maintenance, salaries and allowances, supplies and services and instalments of previous purchases. Only 4-6 percent of it is spent for major purchases, the report says.
In defence of purchasing new equipment, the report says it is facing tremendous difficulties in playing due role with the aged aircraft.
The force has over 160 planes--fighter, transport and training aircraft--and helicopters, of which 70 percent are aged over 20 years and 18 percent inducted in the last 10 years, says the report.
It says the air force has planned to set up overhauling plants for the existing F-7 fighter planes and MI helicopters. If two plants are set up in the country, two to three F-7 aircraft and three to four MI choppers could be overhauled each year and will not require sending abroad.
The air force has so far overhauled Bell helicopters 65 times and PT-6 planes 76 times at its own maintenance unit. In the last two years, five fighter aircraft were overhauled in the country with the help of foreign consultants, the report says.

BDR to beef up CHT deployment
New outposts to be set up along bordersOur Correspondent, Bandarban
Bangladesh Rifles will enhance its presence in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region by increasing both the numbers of BDR personnel and border outposts (BOP) there.
BDR Director General Maj Gen Md Mainul Islam yesterday said new outposts would be set up in the frontier areas of CHT.
During a press briefing in Bandarban after inspecting 10 Rifles Battalion at Balipara, he said the force would be renamed as Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) by September and it would have a new uniform too.
He further said stern actions would be taken to curb extremism, terrorism and smuggling in the border areas.
The neighbouring countries have BOPs every three kilometres of their border, said Mainul, adding that BDR would start setting up BOPs every five kilometres.
Replying to a query about the recent government move to pull out army camps from the region as part of CHT Peace Accord implementation, the BDR DG strove to dispel all fears since BDR personnel would be increased in the area.
He said BDR personnel are equipped with arms and steps would be taken soon to provide them with motorcycles.
Chittagong BDR Sector Commander Col Didarul Alam and Bandarban Region Commander Brig Gen Atiqur Rahman were present during the briefing.
Later, Mainul Islam visited the BDR Training Centre at Satkania in Chittagong.
Mej Gen Mainul in Rangamati yesterday said the process of BDR trials would start very soon after the Supreme Court delivers its opinion, reports our Rangamati correspondent.
He was speaking to journalists after a meeting at Rangamati BDR sector headquarters.
