well, I knew that Sylhet area was under the command of a commando brigade HQ..... there was no other area command in Sylhet..... thats why I asked..... you can correct me if I was wrong.....

you people have too much time to waste..... :disagree:

regarding submarines as a deterrent...... a deterrent is something that doesn't always ensure a victory in case of war, especially for a small country like us..... but the opponent will think twice - 'if we start a war, how much attrition would be there and would we be able to swallow that...

well, the designer company says it can carry 9 tanks and 150 troops..... but it doesn't say whether the tanks are MBTs or not.... Landing Crafts 10th REB is with 98th Composite at Jamuna, 11th is at Postogola (this LCT is part of it probably), 7th is at Kaptai and 5th don't know where..... one...

ha ha ha...... thats our camouflage!!..... to make the ships look a bit... cuddly!!... :D

not supposed to.... a helipad doesn't mean it will always have a helo.... and a vessel that will mainly operate in inland waterways, need not have a helo constantly.... the helipad will allow several small helos to carry some vanguard troops (probably paracommando) to shore quickly to capture a...

this is a very good view of Shakti Sanchar while on a river cruise with foreign guests..... it gives a good idea about the size of this 66m LCT.... it is designed to carry 9 tanks.... it can also carry 150 troops.... the helipad can help in quickly putting some troops ashore using small helos...

could be.... but landing craft are usually army-level or corps-level equipment..... the new 17th div may not directly get it... and btw, new constructions are LCVP, LCT for Army.... LCU would be for the navy....
