The Bangladesh Army has recently acquired over 18 units of the TRG-230 and TRG-300 multiple rocket launcher systems from Türkiye. Developed by the Turkish defense company Roketsan, these systems significantly enhance the Army's artillery capabilities, improving its firepower and battlefield flexibility.

The components of the TRG-230/300 KAPLAN missile systems are mounted on a Kamaz 65224 chassis, a 6x6 all-terrain vehicle. This chassis provides a robust and reliable platform for the rocket launchers, offering mobility across various terrains. The TRG-230 and TRG-300 systems are known for their precision and effectiveness, capable of launching multiple rockets to strike a range of targets, including enemy artillery, command centers, and strategic installations.

The TRG-230 system is designed for a range of 30 to 70 kilometers, while the TRG-300 can target distances up to 120 kilometers, making them effective for both short and long-range strikes. These systems are equipped with advanced guidance and targeting technologies, ensuring high accuracy in missile delivery. The TRG-230 and TRG-300 systems are part of Roketsan's ongoing commitment to providing modern, reliable, and high-performance artillery solutions to armed forces worldwide.

The acquisition of these advanced missile systems marks a significant step in the Bangladesh Army's modernization efforts. By integrating the TRG-230 and TRG-300 systems into its arsenal, Bangladesh is enhancing its defense capabilities and its ability to respond to emerging threats in the region.

This development also reflects the growing defense cooperation between Bangladesh and Türkiye, particularly in the field of artillery and missile systems. This collaboration strengthens bilateral ties and ensures that the Bangladesh Army remains equipped with cutting-edge technologies necessary to protect its national security.

The delivery of the TRG-230/300 rocket systems represents a strategic enhancement for the Bangladesh Army, in line with its goals of improving its artillery capabilities and regional defense posture.​

Bangladesh Army eyes weapons locating radars from China and tank upgradation in Pakistan’s Taxila

Four Chinese persons visited army headquarters in March to discuss sale of weapons locating radars to Bangladesh. On the other hand, Bangladesh Army to upgrade battle tanks in Pakistan’s Taxila

Chandan Nandy by Chandan Nandy April 18, 2025 in Neighbours

Five days before Bangladesh interim authority Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus left for China on March 26, the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) ‘accorded security clearance’ to four Chinese nationals, enabling them to hold a meeting with Bangladesh Army officers on their plans to procure weapons locating radars.

Documents in possession of Northeast News show that the four Chinese nationals were identified as Fan Chong (Passport No. PE2132130), Xiao Qiao (Passport No. PE2189093), Liu Zhiwei (Passport No. PE2227224) and Long Yun (Passport No. 2311603).

The meeting between the Chinese nationals, whose professional background remains unclear, though it is suspected that they represented the state-owned China North Industries Group Corporation Limited, or Norinco, was held at the Bangladesh Army’s Multipurpose Complex on Shahid Sarani, within Dhaka cantonment.

The meeting was held on March 24, two days before Yunus reached China.

The Chief Advisor’s Office and the Intelligence Directorate under the Armed Forces Division was kept abreast of the DGFI’s permission given to the Chinese nationals whose passports and valid immigration documents were duly verified before entry into the Army complex.

The purpose of the meeting was to “discuss about weapon locating radar system (Model: SLC-2),” the documents reveal. Senior officers from the Army’s Directorate of Artillery were also under instructions to “remain present during the discussion session”.

Now, less than a month before this meeting, on February 25, Bangladesh’s Army headquarters sent out an office order related to an official tour to Pakistan’s Taxila of seven Bangladesh Army officers in respect of the “upgradation” of 98 battle tanks at the Margalla Heavy Industries Ltd.

The office order originated from the office of the Principal Staff Officer, Armed Forces Division, under the Chief Advisor’s Office.

The ‘special team’ of officers were to Margalla Heavy Industries Ltd between March 2 and 7 to oversee the up-gradation of 40 T59-KMK and 58 T-69G. The visit was given a wide window – the Bangladesh Army could visit the Taxila-based company anytime till April 30.

The Bangladesh Army, documents in the possession of Northeast News show, was invited by the Dhaka-based Pakistan High Commission’s defence wing (through a February 13 letter) to undertake the visit to Taxila.

The seven-member Bangladesh Army team, led by Brigadier General Khairul Islam, did indeed visit the Taxila complex of Margalla Heavy Industries Ltd.

A Departure Card, filled in by Brig Gen Khairul Islam during immigration procedure, show that he boarded a Thai Airways flight (TG-322) on March 3.

The rest of the team, comprising a colonel, two lieutenant colonels, two majors and a captain, accompanied Brig Gen Khairul Islam.

They took a roundabout route to Bangkok before landing in Islamabad the same day.

The Bangladesh Army’s February 25 office order reveals that the visiting officers were to be guests of Heavy Industries Taxila who would bear all their local expenses.

The up-gradation of the tanks was necessitated by the fact that their 100 mm guns and ammunition were “on the point of becoming obsolete”. Besides, Bangladesh Army documents reasoned, that essential components of the two series of tanks were also “not readily available in the international market”.

More importantly, the Bangladesh Army’s justification for the up-gradation was based on the realisation that the “fire control systems” of the two tanks’ series were “completely manually operated” which was “antagonistic” in today’s militarily competitive world.

Bangladesh’s Armoured Corps Division commands 174 59-G Durjoy, 58 69-IIG, 44 MBT-2000 and five VT-5 types of tanks.

While the document did not rule out the procurement of new tanks, it argued that upgradation of the two tank types would vastly enable their “modernisation and therefore battle-readiness”.

The Bangladesh Army’s decision to upgrade the armoured assets followed a five-day official visit to Rawalpindi of Principal Staff Officer, AFD, LieutenantGeneral Kamrul Hassan in January this year.

This was followed by the visit to Bangladesh of a three-member ISI team led by a major general, the same month.​
