but that deal isn't official as yet as far as I know..... do you have a lead on that? so far, only 24 Yak-130, 5 Mi-171Sh, 9 jet trainer (K-8), 2 maritime SAR helos and 3 transport trainers are official..... the PM uttered those herself....

you mean.... to replace the PT-6.....

yea, doesn't that mean that the Yaks are not just for training? quite obviously they're for 21st and 25th Squadrons.... and most probably the K-8s will go to 15 Squadron, which used to operate the T-37s.....

well, C-802 is a Chinese anti-ship missile..... Yak-130 is a Russian aircraft.... so, Yaks carrying Chinese weapons..... naah.... quite obviously the Yaks would carry Russian missiles.... it now needs to be seen what other stuff are shipped with the Yaks.... 24 advanced trainers are too much to...

I think Yak-130 has another role to play in BAF...... and thats not ground attack..... a subsonic aircraft like that will get withered by AA guns over ground...... its maritime strike..... I think at least some of the 24 Yak-130s would be armed with anti-ship missiles..... I don't think we...

reported this post....

his write-up was imbalanced from the start.... none of the powers is having a hands-off policy here in the Bay of Bengal.... if we want to address it, we should address the whole picture instead of picking up just one part of it.... if someone does the latter, he most definitely favours the...

some inaccuracies for sure.... I think the biggest fault of his writing is that he totally missed out the parts played by India, US and Russia to highlight his point.... the title gives away his stance towards Chinese involvement.....

well, I was actually referring to the pennant in PLAN service.... some of the subs used to show big pennants.... with pennants we can at least guess a little bit about more specifics.... and about these subs' usefulness..... I talked about it before, and would talk again...... if you know how...

thanks a lot for posting..... can you mention their pennant numbers?

whether these ships look similar or not.... is this really an issue for Bangladesh Navy?.... we are discussing Bangladesh Navy here....

dishonesty in all forms should be rejected...... they should've been honest to say that its an Indian car assembled in Bangladesh..... but as it seems, "made in Bangladesh" and "made in India" have enormous difference..... its a marketing "trick".....

someone is talking sense now..... :D 97m, 1,500ton ship with 24 VLS and a helicopter hanger..... thats ship designing!! it seems very much a modular design, doesn't it?.... and previously BN went for Durjoy-class as well as Padma-class..... both the classes are custom-desgined for BN.... even...

why has this nonsensical thread been revived???

these are all good ships that we're discussing..... but considering our fund constraints, I don't think its an option to go for multiple units of $250 million+ frigates right now..... our economy will tell what to do in the future.... for now, refurbished frigates and new corvettes and missile...

oh no no.... not at all.... no question about it..... we can't possibly go for any Israeli stuff.... its totally banned.... no diplomatic relation even....

just take a look at the weapons fitting on those ships in addition to the Barak.... most ships received Barak as an additional defence..... that didn't take any space whatsoever!!..... you'll have a hard time finding the Barak VLS in those ships!!..... actually thats the point.... the...

yea, the Turkish Navy have added some cool ships in recent times.... but I know of the Ada-class (MILGEM) that is around 100m and 2,400ton that is probably incorporating Mk41 VLS into it..... thats very encouraging for us considering the expense of 150m+ 4,000-5,000ton frigates.....

thats a nice discussion you've pulled up..... I haven't really thought of VLS for our ships, considering them a little too much for our little budget now..... I really envy the Israelis..... have a look at their Sa'ar 5 corvettes..... only 1,200tons..... yet, they had developed a missile that is...

well, lets see..... its still early days..... Bangladesh's strategic position call for a lot of stuff..... all depends on the economy..... economy currently dictates which strategic priorities should be confronted first..... a bigger economy will mean bigger trade; more importance of the ports...
