Invading Bangladesh mean a sure suicide for any agressor. It will be Vietnam x 10.

Marshy landscape with literally hundreds of thousands of shallow ponds, lakes, canals and rivers, where guerilla style army can do hit and run.
Thank God we have SARVATRA

 
Forget about what you have learnt at the infantry schools! The Russo-Ukranian War has shown the classical "close quarter combat" has extended from few hundred meters to 20 kms! Currently ATGMs are like previous grenade launchers. You need to bring advanced drone based situational awareness into the game so that extensive damage of men and materials can be done to your enemy. In BD's case - a 4K km long border with Bharat - means no depth to respite to even for a local skirmish. So, BD needs to throw everything at her disposal at the first sight to dissuade Bharat to linger on further by making a buffer inside Bharat. A BD Muslim with a Pak ATGM needs to be more ferocious and dangerous than a Ukranian with a US Javelin....

First of all. Why is this truck important to mention relating to my comment. India has no plans for invasion of Bangladesh eyyyy!??

Second. You saying this truck gonna make or break if India manages to lodge a succesful campaign in BD?!

I'm just saying Indian ground forces have a mechanism to deal with Bangladesh terrain..... but yes as @Afif said Bangladesh rivers are miles wide so it seems difficult....
 
So did Russia, with their bridging systems still got slaughtered by good old artillery fires at dronivka crossing attempt.

Look how tiny this river is. BD's main rivers are miles wide.

Also need to factor in the part of Bangladesh and the season.

Heavy tanks are for sure to get bogged down during monsoon. Any invading force will have to use lighter tanks.

Northern Bangladesh and urban areas, are the only areas suitable for tank use in Bangladesh. Nonetheless, due to the density of buildings and forest cover, the defenders will have an advantage.

If they are already well into your territory it becomes an issue - but the key will be extremely mobile forces using communication lines not necessarily know to an invading force and then pounding them with accurate indirect and direct fire from shoot and scoot assets.

Ah good. We should have good relations with all Muslim countries.

Bangladesh has a large population of Muslims. We should reach out to them.

About 1971, we should forgive each other and move on.

Hypothetically speaking, if it really comes down to an India Bangladesh conflict , Bangladesh needs much more than ATGMs

Bangladesh needs Combined Arms Divisions to Stop Indian Army Integrated Battle Groups which will be initiating Air Land joint operations under the aegis of Eastern Theatre Command

They should be thoroughly prepared for Both Attrition and Manuever warfare including Naval Strikes
 
ATGM is a perfect tool for Bangladesh warfare. field and urban booby traps can do some psychological damage as well, IEDS land mines. Bangladesh terrain allows these Pakistani ATGMs too much more effective a team 5 or 20 soldiers laying ambush along roads. ATGM can be used against many targets, not just armour!
 
Not advocating anyone invade anyone, just posting for educational purposes. Given Bangladesh's seasonal flooding.

The Motorized Floating Bridge (PFM) is a solution dedicated to continuous or discontinuous crossing of wet gaps (lakes, rivers) for MLC 90T / 100 W class vehicles (according to STANAG 2021 standards). It can also be used for civilian operations, during natural disasters (severe floods, bridge collapse).

Currently in service in the French Army, the PFM is also the tactical chosen solution of Land Forces. In order to answer the field stakes, two configurations are available: a fixed bridge or a ferry.
