I doubt they unknowingly drifted into Bangladeshi waters. Hiron point is 50km inside BD territory. They have broken the law and appropriate steps must be taken to handle them.

Is it the naxals?

Merry Christmas everyone !!!!

I think its more likely that some politicians are trying to get money as soon as possible before they are kicked from power.

Bro, given our limited wealth and resources, our purchases shouldn't be any country centric. It should be bought to counter any threat. By 2019 ming class sub would just be a sitting duck for any navy.

The American guy did perform well, but I think you are being unfair to the Bangladeshi soldier. The Bangladeshi was carrying a assault pack, extra weight will definitely hinder your chances at the wall.

I have two things to say 1) It looks real tiring and definitely will give the men their workout for the day. 2) I am surprised that there are some safety lapses. For example, a few of the obstacles, which require crossing by ropes did not have safety net. The lack of any safety vehicles in case...

$2m per leopard tank??? thats a steal. You finns are damn lucky.

I have to agree with your opinion regarding this purchase.

Yes we are a poor country, therefore we have to spend our money wisely, for a few extra million we could have gotten a song class, which would have served us for a longer period of time. We dont want to take on anyone, we just want deterrence. Nobody will be deterred much by this vessel. You...

I am awed and a little disgusted at the same time. I think if the nerves are connected properly, he should be able to move his hand(just a guess)

Currently because of them the small businesses in little india are suffering heavy losses

Haha these subs will be used for training as well as ego stroking. There was a lot of rumor and hope that BD was going for song class(it was frequently mentioned along with ming), but alas we had to settle for this. As far as i know(i might be wrong) there was no official interest by BD navy...

At least its confirmed we will be getting submarines. Yep it gives of high-level acoustic signature, very easy to detect by enemy forces. Its only useful for patrolling and training purposes.

I think cost of submarine is the main concern for bangladesh navy. We are getting these for $100 mil each, a agosta would have cost us a fortune. Agree with you on the last part, would have preferred song class instead of ming.

The submarines were made in the 1990s. It does not have have much capability when compared to newer submarines, however, considering the fact that our navy does not have much teeth yet, its addition is appreciated. Finally beginning of a underwater fleet has started:cheers:

Belarus uses soviet weapons, either they have leftovers from the breakup of soviet union or they have the licence to produce russian weaponry. Anyway if they are willing to sell from their arsenal, they have wide range of russian weaponry.

Well iranian culture dying out and "brain drain" are two different matters altogether. People of iran might migrate to other countries for jobs or education, but that does not mean they will lose their culture just because they are in a different country. As for "brain drain", most...

Every country in the world is having less babies per woman now, not only iran. And Isnt it good the world is having less babies now. The world population is booming and the resources to sustain us is becoming scarce and competition is increasing. The argument of this article is that have more...
