We mostly produce small arms at Bangladesh Ordnance Factory in Gazipur. We got technology transfer from China, Austria, and Russia. There is a plan to produce armored personnel carriers (the hull and the engine), MANPADS and ATGM (anti tank guided missiles). Our navy produces patrol craft, Large patrol craft, oil tanker, Auxiliary ships. Other projects that have been taken up by the navy are: 6 high performance frigates, 6 heavy offshore patrol vessels, 4 corvettes, and missile boats. Bangladesh air force has produced BBT2--a basic trainer.
I agree with you so far as Naval ships is concern. BD has a good capability in small ship building. So far as MANPAD and ATGM is concern, it might be an assembly. It is not easy to make various seekers used in missile and also the rocket motors. Even if BD starts assembling it, it can be a humble beginning. This knowhow can later be built upon to improve the capability. However, for that, one need robust engineering and technological collages, research institutions and research Labs. This is a long time project which requires long time commitment of resources.
In my opinion, Spiritualism is the base of every good thing in society i.e Peace, Prosperity, upliftment etc. . Like what we have seen in India, where a boy/girl comes from a very humble background and rises to highest level of any reputed institution/ center of excellence. We do not see that happening with other youngsters in other countries. BD being a Muslim country has certain limitation. It is very difficult for people to grow beyond certain level if he or she is bought up in Islamist culture. BD has a rich Bengali culture, but this advantage is by and large nullified by Islam in BD. This is true for many other Islamic nations like Pakistan, Syria, Iraq, Iran etc.
