does the FL-3000N come with reloads?.... if its installed on top of hangar, that precludes reloads..... and yes, we also thought there would be some form of SAM installed on Type 053H2.... but got surprised that even the rear 100mm was not removed.... "now busy with the secondary P18N of...

we heard that our Type 056 would have hangars.... do you have any confirmation on that?..... and if a hangar is installed in the back, can an FL-3000N be still installed on the ship? has the ship been launched yet?

as I said before, actually there's no point arguing about ship classification..... it depends on the role they play in each navy.... even within the Indian Navy, which makes a great use of corvettes, Abhay and Veer-classes are less than 500t, while the Kamorta-class is said to be as much as...

don't take it to the missile alley..... :D remember that Indian Navy corvettes are like floating arsenals!!..... Kora-class carry 16 missiles!!!..... while the Kamorta-class corvettes are 3,000t and 109m..... a lot bigger than our BNS Bangabandhu!!

ha ha ha ha..... that guy's from the military!!! :D anyway, he's technically right.... corvette is actually a light frigate....

a few days back, a govt. high official (Defense Advisor to the PM) confirmed for the first time that "As part of the move, two submarines will join its fleets by 2015. Besides, two modern frigates are being built in China while two others in the country"

well, 89m is the Chinese version.... as far as I've seen from a report on BN, our version would have a helicopter hangar at the back, and would stretch the hull a bit further....

well, classification is a little confusing at times, as it depends more on the requirements, rather than what it would be called.... the new Steregushchy-class corvettes (2,200t) of the Russian Navy are bigger than our Type 053H2 frigates..... corvettes are actually light frigates (FFL/FLG)...

our Indian friends seem to have enough time to spend on Bangladeshi threads..... one finger is always busy, it seems.....

own frigate can come even earlier.... as I shared before in an earlier post, BN is already looking for the home-built frigate.... its even possible that at-home construction of two Type 056 may even start right after the receiving of the 2 from China in 2015.....

of course.... primary defense has to be against air and sea skimming missiles.... but such a high value ship (for us at least) has to have at least some ASW capability.... and remember that submarine activity in the Bay of Bengal is going to spike within a couple of years from now.... and...

hmm.... as the Somudra Joy was not equipped with a hull-mounted sonar, not sure if its hull can be transformed.... so, towed array seems the logical solution.... also take a look at the end of the Hamilton-class.... there's a lotta space at the back of the ship for installation of a towed array...

thanks for posting this!.... and welcome to the forum! this news seems like a false one..... there was another 'news' circulated in 2005 that Pakistan was delivering Bangladesh submarines as "gift".... those were nothing more than propaganda.... this one also seems so..... its absurd to think...

well, I don't like to use 'words' that you use.... anyway, I take your point "if you dont counter them".... I don't think the people of this country would ever allow that.... and also, I don't think the Indian Army has a battle plan like that, when there are much better ways to capture the...

our T69s get stuck in mud..... this isn't a tank country..... even if you cross the mud, remember that you have hundreds of rivers and water-bodies to cross as well... and during such crossings, a 50-ton beast would become a pain in the back!........ even Russian-made PT-76 light tanks required...

SLC-2 is NOT an air defence radar.... its a fire-finder radar for the army field artillery...... BAF also got YLC-6C and 1L117M radars in recent times.... those are relatively older tech...... I was specifically looking for info on the "JH-16" radar.... "AESA" radar is a big thing..... its top...

anyone has any info about the Chinese "JH-16" radar that BAF reportedly bought?..... I haven't found anything about this radar in the web.... I hope this is based on strong lead....

a very important consideration..... most people are so obsessed with weapons systems that they forget the need for electronics.... remember that a blind man cannot defend himself..... we still don't have any specific knowledge about the new weapons and electronics fit on the BNS Somudra Joy...

well, I won't get too excited right now.... but lets see.... the progress in terms of hardware acquisition of late had been faster than anything we're seen before.... so, its not unrealistic to think of anything.... but I still don't get it why a refurbished sub would take two years to...

oh... on another note from Exercise Sea Thunder 2014..... the drones were ultimately not used due to bad weather.... and the drones were made using local tech by BN.....
