What will Bangladesh do with so much ammunition? Thousands of rounds ordered from Pakistan

What will Bangladesh do with so much ammunition? Thousands of rounds ordered from PakistanThe movement against reservation in India's neighboring country Bangladesh became so violent that a coup took place in the country and Sheikh Hasina, who was the Prime Minister of the country for 15 years, had to leave the country. However, an interim government has now been formed in the country under the command of Mohammad Yusuf.

However, just three weeks after former PM Sheikh Hasina resigned and a new interim government was installed in the country, Dhaka has ordered a fresh supply of artillery ammunition from Pakistan.

Ammunition will be delivered in three installments

Bangladesh has ordered thousands of rounds of ammunition to be delivered to Pakistan in three installments, starting in September. The order was given just days after Hasina stepped down. This is not the first time that Pakistan has supplied ammunition to Bangladesh. However, the numbers seem to be much higher than usual.

How much ammunition will be exported?

The ammunition is to be used in artillery guns that can attack targets between 30 km and 35 km. The export will start from the first week of September and end in December and is to be done in three shipments. This includes more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition, 40 tonnes of RDX in wax consistency for explosives, and high-speed projectiles, numbering 2900. However, last year the order for early 2023 was for 12,000 rounds of ammunition.

Bangladesh is surrounded by India on three sides and the Bay of Bengal on the fourth side, which often forces India to ask where the Bangladesh Army wants to use its ammunition.

There was a coup in the country

There was a coup in Bangladesh on 5 August, people broke curfew and came out on the streets and violence flared up to such an extent that former PM Sheikh Hasina had to leave the country and come to India. People even entered the PM's office and the system of Bangladesh collapsed. However, to bring the country back on track once again, an interim government was formed under the command of Nobel Prize winner Mohammad Yusuf.
