Bangladesh's missile upgrades heighten India's security and strategic concerns.
Bangladesh’s recent missile modernization, including the operational deployment of Turkey’s TRG-300 Kaplan multiple launch rocket systems and potential procurement of China’s SY-400 short-range ballistic missiles, has heightened security concerns for India. The TRG-300’s range of 120 kilometers and the SY-400’s capabilities, which could reach up to 200 kilometers, put critical Indian infrastructures, particularly the Siliguri Corridor, at risk. In response, India has bolstered its eastern military presence with S-400 air defense systems and deployed Rafale fighters, underscoring its commitment to maintaining strategic dominance. This evolving military landscape prompts India to consider further enhancing its indigenous defense capabilities to counterbalance Bangladesh’s advancements, reflecting an increasingly competitive security environment in South Asia.
