Border Guard Bangladesh personnel responded firmly after India’s BSF issued a reported threat, saying they would act if required. Warning: The video contains strong language that may be uncomfortable for some viewers.
According to local sources, India’s BSF have been forcibly sending groups of Bengali and Assamese Muslims toward no-man’s land during the night, but the BGB and residents have blocked each attempt along several border points. 🇧🇩🇮🇳💥

The proposed defence allocation of Tk39,745 crore in the shadow budget raises serious concerns regarding the party’s outlook in the country's long-term security preparedness and strategic interests.
At a time when Bangladesh faces an increasingly complex security environment, characterised by heightened regional tensions, rapid military modernisation across Asia, and the emergence of new domains of warfare, the proposed allocation appears insufficient even to support the ambitions outlined within the budget itself. 🇧🇩🇧🇩

JF-17 for Bangladesh Air Force according to Sputnik, a Russian news channel. 🇧🇩🇵🇰🇨🇳

🇧🇩 Will Bangladesh acquire the Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 fighter?
Bangladesh is looking to modernize its aging force. One of the top potential candidates? The Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Thunder Block III fighter jet.
🔶What is JF-17? – A lightweight, multirole fighter jet jointly developed by China and Pakistan, equipped with modern avionics and capable of carrying beyond-visual-range missiles.
🔶High-level talks – In January 2026, the Bangladesh Air Force chief visited Pakistan for "detailed discussions" on a potential JF-17 purchase, according to Geo News and The Tribune citing ISPR.
🔶Simulator delivered? – In May 2026, Pakistan reportedly transferred a fully operational JF-17 Block III combat simulator to Bangladesh for real-mission pilot training, according to the South China Morning Post and other outlets. However, Sputnik was not able to independently confirm the veracity of these reports.
A JF-17 deal would mark a significant warming in military ties between Bangladesh and Pakistan following years of tensions. The two South Asian governments have been drawing closer after the overthrow of longtime Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2024.
