are newly joined BNS Durjoy and BNS Nirmul stealty as Type056 Corvette ?

[BDforever]

Recently two LPC-M joined in BN fleet named BNS Durjoy and BNS Nirmul. The question has arisen in my mind that are both of them also stealth as Type056 corvette ? (no official confirmation).

Two reasons behind this question.

1. Their Design are pretty similar as Type056 Corvette.

BNS Nirmul

BNS Durjoy

Type056 Corvette

2. Both ships uses Type 360 Surface search radar like Type 056 corvette


(I do not know much about defence systems, i just shared what i know)

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

What armaments do they carry?

this is patrol craft.

The two type 053 ships are missile fitted large patrol craft or LPC-M. These two are certainly not stealth, I have not read anywhere about their stealth capability.

Nope they are not stealth.

 

[imkhasif]

[Rashid Mahmood]

Stealth or not, a good addition to BN.

If you are referring to the specular return of the vessel in question when being illuminated by a bogie's radar then this particular ship would probably be "stealthier" than the larger Type-056 vessels. But in naval terms stealth encompasses a lot of other attributes.

Why BD just go directly for type 056 covette? any information shared?

To the extent any of these have stealth features, they appaer roughly in the same league.

 

[PlanetSoldier]

this is patrol craft.

Both are LPCs categorized as Corvette in BN

 

[Penguin]

this is patrol craft.

Is irrelevant to the question of stealth.

Nope they are not stealth.

Question is what stealth feature have been adopted in the design, not whether the design are or are not stealth ships (i.e. it is a matter of degree)

Both are LPCs categorized as Corvette in BN

That doesn't necessarily make them corvettes by 'accepted standards'. I mean, the Iranian navy classifies 1400 ton 'destroyer escorts' (i.e. frigates in UK/Royal Navy parlance of 1970s) as destroyers. In reality, they are no more than corvettes by today's standards.
