Good to see the army getting new divisions and brigades.
New Naval engineering battalion for the army?? Got to be some mistake here
The news also revealed that the army procured multiple launch rocket system(wonder which one). And two new corvette being built in a friendly country(type...
BAF annual exercise concludes
A six-day annual exercise code named “Wintex-2013” of Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) concluded on Monday, reports UNB.
The exercise started on February 6 at all BAF bases and lodger units across the country.
The main objectives of the exercise were to...
I never denied the fact that it was combat capable, i only mentioned that Mi 171sh is more combat capable than Mi 17v5.
Both the helicopters have the same engines and almost the same electronic systems.
Anyway my point is that Mi 171sh is more combat capable than Mi 17v5, while Mi17v5 is a...
Well both of the helicopters have the same max speed and max ceiling.
MI 17v5(590km) has better range than MI 171sh(580km)
MI 17v5 (5000kg)can carry more load externally than MI 171sh(4000kg)
Mi 171sh has a greater quantity and can fire a greater variety of wepons than MI 17V5
As far as i...
It has space for weapons and has a helipad. However i am more concerned about the fact that it is quite old thus reliability issues.
There is no universal way of classifying a naval frigate. Oman classifies its 3000+ tn warship as corvette while we consider 600+ tn as corvette.
Anyway, it...
By tonnage it will be the largest ship. However,its capability will be very limited, therefore i doubt whether it can be called a frigate.
Since its being transferred to the navy we will need to add some teeth to it. This ship lacks SAM, anti ship missiles, anti sub capability. Plus the old...
Thanks to animelive, found this gem
Gift huh?? I guess it will be free or will cost very little then.
Last year the three boats were given to bangladesh free of charge. they were termed as ambulance boats, not high performance boats
Its a submarine built in the 1960's. China has 30 of them all used for training purpose. They are basically obsolete. It wont be hard to imagine if they offered us one free if we buy two of them
Anyway i was joking about that part
Us will offer us fighter planes( or anything offensive) but with a lot of strings attached. However they are quite lenient on things like transport aeroplanes, etc.
Russians on the other hand milks the money out of you after selling the goods.
F 16 was never offered to bangladesh. Bangladesh wanted to buy it but US rejected to sell it. United States felt the planes were "not really appropriate" for Bangladesh
I really dont want ming class sub in our navy. It is good for a training sub. But i really doubt its combat capability due to its age. IMO song or yuan class would have been better.
Maybe we signed some kind of defence MOU, allowing us to train with their subs, when their representatives came...
