These Armoured Personnel Carriers are for the RAB & Police. The Army doesnt have anthig to do with it.

Reliability is a issue though as far as I know because two out of twelve purchased broke down and are under repair.

And also Bangladesh Police/RAB are importing them from China.

i agree, i believe that is they spent a bit more and have gotten themselves the hummer versions then at least the reliability issues wont be there. and these things are used in critical missions where breakdown is NOT ACCEPTABLE

Hummer is not an option. Maintainance cost etc would be too expensive for Bangladesh and the government doesnt like to import security equipment from the USA for some very good reasons.

But they will most likely purchase Bell helicopters as far as I know. The Police and RAB could be geting Bell 206 or 212 helicopters very soon.
