Following the arrest of a former priest, Chinmoy krishna Das, on accusations of sedition and for reportedly raising a saffron flag above Bangladesh's national flag in Chittagong on october 25, the situation in bangladesh has been characterized by an increase in violence against minority populations.
Bangladesh apparently used the Bayraktar TB2, a deadly drone manufactured in turkey, close to the indian border in a worrying move. This cutting-edge UAV, which is supplied by turkey in contrast to drones purchased from countries like china or Pakistan, highlights Bangladesh's attempts to update its military capabilities.
A Navbharat Times story claims that bangladesh has taken major measures to strengthen its defense capabilities in the face of escalating tensions with India, most notably the deployment of the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drone near the West bengal border. This sophisticated drone, which has garnered notoriety for its deployment in several international wars, can conduct accurate strikes as well as monitoring, which exacerbates worries in the area, especially close to India's strategically critical "chicken neck" region.
Defense technology of bangladesh (DTB) claimed earlier this year that six of the original 12 Bayraktar TB2 drones were delivered to the bangladesh Armed Forces, according to the indian Defence Research Wing's official website. These UAVs, which are operated by the 67th army Regiment, are mostly used for light strike capabilities and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations. The purchase represents a major milestone in Bangladesh's military development and highlights the country's attempts to improve and modernize its defense capabilities.
Given the sensitivity of the area, the placement of these UAVs close to the West bengal border is strategically important. Although bangladesh has highlighted the TB2's defensive and surveillance capabilities, the indian Defence Research Wing's official website states that such deployments unavoidably attract the notice of other nations like India, which keeps a careful eye on events along its borders.
T rkiye has supplied the bangladesh army with a variety of cutting-edge military hardware, such as armed personnel carriers, rocket defense systems, and mine-resistant vehicles. Following its remarkable performance in the conflict in Ukraine, where it had a major influence on battlefield dynamics, the Bayraktar TB2 drone—which bangladesh also purchased—has become in high demand worldwide. With the ability to fly up to 25,000 feet and use laser-guided bombs to execute precise hits, the drone is revolutionary. It has demonstrated efficacy against artillery and tanks, causing significant harm to Russian forces during the war. Nevertheless, russia asserts that it has created defenses and destroyed a number of these drones.
