Bangladesh Seals Drone Factory Agreement with China
Air Chief Marshal Hasan Mahmood Khan participated in the signing ceremony alongside CETC officials and additional defense representatives at the BAF headquarters in the capital Dhaka.
The partnership framework establishes that BAF and CETC International will collaboratively construct a cutting-edge UAV manufacturing and assembly installation in Bangladesh.
The air force emphasized the UAVs will serve critical functions in humanitarian assistance and disaster management operations beyond conventional military applications.
"This defense pact will be expanded to achieve complete self-reliance in domestic UAV production, which will be helpful in meeting national and international needs. At the same time, it will also make a significant contribution to national technological progress through specialized training, knowledge exchange and building a skilled aerospace workforce," the statement said.
The arrangement additionally encompasses capacity building initiatives, industrial skills development programs and joint technical cooperation mechanisms, which will "help achieve self-reliance in UAV production in the long term."
BAF will initially obtain capabilities to manufacture and assemble various types of Medium Altitude Low Endurance (MALE) UAV and Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) UAV platforms for diverse operational requirements.
