Bangladesh Army uses APFSDS-T 125mm anti-tank rounds with its main battle tanks. These extremely lethal rounds can penetrate the armour of any tank with 680mm RHAe at 2,000 m range with 90% accuracy.
The Indian Army on the other hand deploys inferior APFSDS munitions that penetrate only 500 mm of RHA. Indian ordnance factories are plagued with poor quality or low spec munitions that will greatly hinder their operational capabilities in the long run.
The Indian authorities was so much concerned about this that they initiated a new APFSDS requirement back in August 2024.
Fortunately, the BOF will also make various types of 105 and 125 mm tank munitions completely indigenously with technical support from China.

Good to know we possess such munitions, which would protect us from a large scale tank invasion

@admin_6t0trymt Locally produced?
Not at this stage. All GMLRS munitions are imported from their OEMs.
