I think its not about boasting.... its about some strategic realities are aren't totally related to latest military hardware.... e.g. length of sea route, depth of sea, architecture of coastline, neighbouring countries (number of possible fronts to confront), etc..... one may have the biggest...

late is still good, as long as they arrive..... :) but sometimes don't..... I'm sure that Pakistan has had that experience quite a few times, isn't it? :)

wooow!!.... by the time the C-130s become great grandpa? :O

what?.... that deal is dead now? :O

anyone has any idea about the the progress of the $180 million deal for 4 C-130s and other stuff?

well, underestimating others is the worst thing you can do..... BD military had gained a lot of reputation as a peacekeeper around the world..... a lot of the military hardware is fully engaged in UN missions abroad.... as I said, its more a peaceful aim rather than anything else..... its only...

the overall defence strategy of Bangladesh is mainly defensive.... taking advantage of a soft ground and several hundred rivers...... only a very small portion of the country can be crossed by tanks or other armoured vehicles.... the landscape is an integral part of BD's defence.... think of...

shouldn't leave out the ones from the Americas who directly supported Russia rather than abstaining..... Bangladesh abstained just like 57 others.... not meddling in superpower affairs.... this has always been BD policy.....

if anyone wondered who took which view on this issue, check this..... it has all the lists..... United Nations General Assembly Resolution 68/262 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

- released info says that the ships have a 7-day endurance... around 1,500nm.... they are made for coastal patrol, not high seas.... but sea-state info not released as of now... - crew number is 31.... but one thing is pretty sure that there are options deliberately kept open with this ship...

thank you for the reminder.... I missed the posts.... I only joined recently and didn't know that I had to go through all of the previous posts before I could post..... this is the exact reason why I dropped out of PDF in 2005-2006..... you have to make PDF more inviting to newcomers.... not...

has anyone noticed that in the late '80s USCGS Mellon (WHEC-717), a Hamilton-class cutter was fitted with a hull-mounted sonar (AN/SQS-26) and Mk 46 ASW torpedoes, along with Harpoon missiles?.... this was the only ship in the USCG that had ASW and ASuW capability.... but those were removed...

well, I didn't want the argument to go that far..... but you didn't explain why we received our helos for the frigate after so many years and after another separate deal.... @BDforever really sorry man... can't take that for an answer!

even if you are right about SIPRI, the news that we discussed above was quoted by Bangladesh Navy officials..... "The fund will be needed to add FL-3000 Sam Sticks air defence system that can launch missiles at intervals of three seconds, base facilities and target drone and firing test...

I have seen the same thing for BNS Bangabandhu, the modified-Ulsan-class frigate we got from ROK..... there too, we had to separately give fund for every single weapon and electronics outfit.... SIPRI reported those purchases separately..... may be thats because of the customized...

well, not sure this is the total cost.... because it supposedly includes other items as well.... oh, on another note, Khulna Shipyard called for tender for design of two LPCs for BN..... the tender is probably going to end March 2014.... so, its a possibility that Bangladesh may start building...

just a few day ago we were discussing whether FL-3000N missile units are going to be installed on Type 056 corvettes BN is getting from China.... I overlooked this news item published on 23 February 2014, which gave absolute proof of the SAM's existence on board the ships.... "Dhaka has...

those are all good ships...... but, I'm not sure whether there's a common solution to all navy's problems.... while multirole ships are more popular because of their ability to incorporate a lotta things without being a specialist, its still the specific role of the ship within a specific navy...

no problemo! :) no issues.... be cool....

great explanation! our govt is saying that Bangladesh Navy will receive the Type 035G subs in 2015...... do you have any info on which subs are likely to be those..... or which sub units are currently being taken out of service from PLAN?
