I dont think the 3rd 4th and 5th ship padma class will weigh more than what it is now. Most probably beacuse the chinese havnt given us the tech to install the missiles and if its 600 tonnes, it will need a new design. which is impossible since the all will probably roll out withn this year.
Even though countries west of china are considerably weaker, i am quite surprised that china does not place any of its armies in the states which borders the countries west of china.
As of now, neither the navy nor the government has released any report or even any speculation or rumours that the navy will get more fixed wing platform for the time being. However, there are rumours that we might buy 2-3 Z-9 helicopters from the chinese( which has anti sub)
Nope it does not have any anti sub capability. That role is performed by our AW 109. I am not sure, but i have read articles that says it is capable of anti sub warfare
C-704 on this tiny ship, whose duty is just to patrol, doesnt make any sense.
As i said before this ship will at most see action against pirates. You dont need a missile of range 35km and capable of damaging frigates greatly to bring down pirates
I heard so too. they had plans to acquire land near mongla. But it will take quite a long time to materialize. For the near future we will have to be contended by building OPVs
Mate khulna shipyard has its limits. It is build alongside a river(rupsha), it will be difficult to build heavy ships like destroyers or frigates. By current standards the most it can build is a light frigate or corvettes
Anyway, the navy said they will be discussing with the chinese to build...
It is built with chinese assistance. Weapons and tech was provided by the chinese, ksy built the ship.
Anyway, we built our first "warships"(patrol boats) all by ourselves (Pabna class patrol boat) a long time ago. They currently serve our coast guards.
Do you see any bulbous bow on the ship? Clearly BNS padma was made to patrol the inshore and coastal areas.
However, INS saryu was made to patrol the deep seas.
Each ship was tailored for the needs of each country. Comparing them makes no sense

They will also become homeless if they sell their land to other assamese or if other assamese takes their land away forcefully. Banning other races from buying wont help the situation much. Furthermore assam being the gateway to other NE states, is gonna develop very fast and people from other...
actually bengalis(indian bengalis specifically ) have been living there(assam, tripura) for a long time(. It would be difficult to remove them from there as it is their home as well.
However what you are suggesting can be implemented in places such as arunanchal, nagaland as...
That will be a problem as bengalis and other north indians also lived there for a long time. And birth certificates are not available to prove that a person's ancestors have lived there.
