Russian sources are also pretty secretive..... they had been like that for most of their history...... only recently they've learned how to share something in public..... think about this - there was no official confirmation that Russia ever sold Kh-35 anti-ship missiles to Myanmar.... but we...

definitely...... may be within the next 10-15 years.....

incorrect in quite a few places..... obviously biased towards BD..... it shouldn't be placed like that.... the people in both military know the real stuff through their intel channels.... so, there's no point presenting such info.....

anyway, thanks..... we would love to know in time when you source corroborates this..... :)

ooop!!!.... we ordered only 2..... :D so, probably 2 of these 4 are coming to Bangladesh?.... is it? and what happens to the other two?..... another customer for those?..... or are they going to scrapyard? :O exactly..... there is something called number..... and numbers are important...

its not my version..... I didn't make that info..... I gave a link....

even if these are absolute junks, they have their uses..... I've said that several times in this thread..... submarines are force multipliers.... they can tie down many more enemy units.... this is regardless of their sophistication..... just because you don't know where they are; you can't see...

about the pennant '305' and '308'...... the '305' was launched in June 1997 and the '308' was launched in Oct 1998, making the boats 17 years and 16 years old, respectively..... six boats of the Type 035G class (pennants '305' to '310') were improved model, launching between 1997 and 2001...

thats one of the more rational posts I've seen in this forum here..... you've realised a very important part of Bangladesh's defence that most fail to realise.... most people fail to address the fact that 80% of Bangladesh's trade is seaborne.... and its the easiest to blockade the Bay of Bengal...

well, another very important reason behind getting more than one subs is to keep at least one operational all the time.... two is bare minimum.... still, there would be times when none would be operational due to maintenance, overhaul or whatever other reason..... 3-4 is more like a practical...

well said.... and also, the Ming would be very easy to find provided that you know in which part of the sea it is.... we're talking of searching tens of kilometers of sea at a time with a single sonar; not hundreds of kilometers of sea.... and how many ASW platforms (surface/subsurface/air)...

yet again political discussion in a permanent thread..... I'm losing interest.....

are the carried torpedoes dummy?

plz refrain from political discussion in this thread.... there are other threads for those.....

thanks a lot for posting this..... do you think any work has gone on it, or was it just ceremonial? coz the frigate went to China to attend an event.....

thanks a lot for the update.... any idea about the time the discussed subs may be decommissioned? plz keep us posted..... :)

ha ha.... yea, we're all frustrated thinking about an apparent lack of many things..... but I won't conclude on anything rightaway.... and neither can I share the reasons why I won't conclude..... I would only put a full-stop by saying that I'm always optimistic.... we have a lotta potential...

have the suns been decommissioned as yet?

well, lets see..... I mentioned my opinion based on assumed primary strategic concerns.... getting more AShMs operational seems like one of the priorities.... diversified platforms of delivery for AShMs may be preferred.... these are my speculations only.....

umm..... the question is, can we guarantee what we are getting?...... thing of subs are usually not visible outside.... pictures won't tell anything..... unless those are specifically mentioned, we'll never know what we got.... usually some submarine specifics are not made public.... we still...
