Bangladesh Army is strengthening its artillery capability by adding modern systems from Türkiye and China

Bangladesh Army is advancing its artillery modernization program at a fast pace. To this end, they are procuring state-of-the-art artillery systems from Türkiye and China, which will complement and strengthen existing Serbian platforms.

This multi-dimensional development is an important part of the “Forces Goal 2030” strategic plan, which reaffirms the commitment to transform the Bangladesh Army into a highly mobile, technologically reliant and strategically capable force.

This arms procurement program reflects a well-planned strategic approach, with an emphasis on arms procurement from multilateral sources. This will allow Bangladesh to avoid over-dependence on any particular defense supplier and ensure competitive advantage and operational flexibility.

Notably, these new artillery systems incorporate state-of-the-art digital fire control technology, which will enhance accuracy, rapid targeting and networked battlefield coordination capabilities.
