Bangladesh has started the official delivery of VT4 tanks! As of August 2025, Bangladesh has purchased a total of 88 VT5 main battle tanks from our country. The combat weight of each VT5 tank is approximately 30-35 tons, which belongs to a light tank. However, Bangladesh also needs heavy tanks, so the combat weight of the VT4 main battle tank is 52 tons. This type of VT4 tank has performed very well in countries such as Thailand, Pakistan, and Nigeria.
Therefore, Bangladesh has also purchased a portion of the VT4 main battle heavy tanks to counter India's T90 heavy tanks. Although the VT5 main battle tank is good, it is relatively lighter, and heavy tanks are more practical! As for how many VT4 main battle tanks Bangladesh has purchased, it is not yet clear. Because both the VT4 and VT5 main battle tanks use the same camouflage in Bangladesh, it is easy to know that they are ordered by Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has always been one of the main countries for us to sell weapons. Because Bangladesh faces the crisis of being annexed by India at any time. Previous Indo-Pak wars have proven countless times that only China will help Pakistan and Bangladesh to fight against India. The United States and Russia always take India's side, favoring India. Even if Pakistan and Bangladesh are annexed by India, the US and Russia will not interfere at all.
So, it has become a fact that Bangladesh can only buy Chinese weapons to counter India. Moreover, Bangladesh has our J-7 fighter jets and wants to buy J-10C fighter jets, as well as our land forces weapons, and our naval warships. In short, it's all Chinese weapons equipment, just to prevent India's sudden outburst.
If Bangladesh and India were to erupt into border conflicts, we would definitely stand on Bangladesh's side and provide full support for the operation, just like the Indo-Pak air battles, repeatedly showing support for weaker countries. This is inevitable. Moreover, our tanks are honestly stronger than Indian tanks, this is the truth.
