History
The establishment of a rifle factory and small-arms ammunition plant for Pakistan Army began in 1968 with the technical and financial assistance of the People's Republic of China. The facility was inaugurated on 6 April 1970. Although it suffered considerable damage during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, its capabilities have been restored and expanded since.

In 1982-1983 BMR (Balancing, Modernization, Replacement) works started which was completed in 1987. After the BMR the yearly production target of the factory was determined to be 2500 rifles and 15 million ammunition per annum. Project on establishment of ‘Automatic Assault Rifle BD-08’ factory was undertaken in 2004-2005 and it was successfully implemented in the year 2008.

In June 2021, a turnkey 105 mm and 155 mm artillery sell production line establishment agreement was signed between Bangladesh and Turkish company REPKON. With the modern Free Flow forming (REPKON patented) technology and computerized machinery from REPKON, BOF will produce high-quality 105 mm and 155 mm artillery shells. According to Uğur Cem Gürpınar, REPKON business development and corporate communications officer, "Bangladesh, like many friendly and allied countries, preferred REPKON because of its technology that is ahead of its competitors in the world". Bangladesh Army is currently using western standard 105 mm and 155 mm artilleries as well as Chinese 122 mm and 130 mm artilleries..

Technology

Initially BOF was set up with technologies machines, equipment and support facilities from China, but gradually technology transfers from Austria, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Turkey, China & Italy were added.

Bangladesh army has taken a bold initiative to establish the second arms factory in Chittagong. With a view to establish the second arms factory they have acquired 54.99 acres of land in Chittagong. The acquired land is only 62 km away from Indian border. Bangladesh army is already having talks with various friendly countries to procure technologies of small arms. REPKON, a Turkish company, has already transferred technology to Bangladesh army to produce shells of 155mm howitzer. Besides, Turkey wants to establish arms factories with Bangladesh army as joint ventures. With a view to achieve this, they have created two modern facilities in Chittagong and Narayanganj respectively

Ignore Sharma Ji. Indians hate Muslims but cannot do without them. They have crowded the Middle East where they work as Arab Sheikhs gigolos.

Actually, BD is a lucky country. It has 97% of border with India. They can manage only one good relationship and focus on development. However, BDeshis started feeling that unless they behave and think in Jihadi manner, they become less Muslim. They should think and behave like Pakistanis, Palestinians, hamas, Hizbullh etc. BD was developing nicely. However, every Muslim majority has an inherent issue of radicals taking over a nation. That happened with BD. It is going to result into regression of BD.

Ab maja ayega na bhidu. Aise bhi Islam ab khatam hone wala hai. In Indonesia, 2 million people converts every year. Most of the Muslims have become not practicing and atheist. They just do not say that because of safety reason. Almost whole of Iran has become atheist. Ye desi Jambure jyada kud rahe hain asal musalman dikhne ke liye.
