This is your super duper navy.
Buying secondhand frigates and downgraded cheap version corvettes is just funny.
Unlike BD they have friends.
Unlike BD they have vision.
Truth is bitter.
Modernizing an armed forces needs VISION. not WORDS.
MN is just diversifying their capabilities. Thier focus now is on the force multiplication.
Your focus is just on the buying secondhand frigates.
BN secondhand frigates are better. I don’t wanna elaborate on that so long as you are happy with you frigates it is ok.
- JF 17 with C 802AK maritime strike fighters from China.
- LPD from South Korea.
- Kilo sub from India.
Pls stop talking about uncertain future dream of buying this and that.
LOL!! Reading from that ignorant twat's propaganda paddling website, eh? Suits you perfectly. Alright, we get the point you are trying so hard to make. Your super-duper navy is a real force multiplier with full focus on making shallow-hulled frigate with MANPAD which can't sustain sea state 6. If you are happy with your 3000 tons corvette then i guess there's nothing wrong with us being happy with our Type 53s which at least better than yours.
Looks like you are too proud to include second hand Kilo sub in the argument which has bigger acoustic signature than our Ming sub but not too proud to mention two second hand Type 53 frigates you operate. You are like, "It's not ok if other operate second hand ships but it's ok if we operate them." If our "second hand" ships helps you sleep better then good luck with that.
Yes we also don't have any vision. FG 2030, Vision 2040 are just some propaganda to win the next elections and USA, UK, Turkey, Italy are just insignificant countries not allies.
Ok jokes aside except JF-17, Su-30 and Kilo sub none of the shit you mentioned matter actually. You can focus on your military better cause your military has significant influence in your govt, they get more priority and budget. It's true that we are slow at buying and Rohingya issue delayed buying some stuff further but that doesn't mean we aren't buying anything or the process stopped.
No one is permanent ally. You are currently sanctioned by Western countries so it's easier for you to get support and military hardware from China and Russia which is usual for any country which doesn't get support from West. Not so long ago USA didn't want to sell any major arms to us but now after Rohingya issue them, UK, Turkey, Italy are suddenly got more friendly with us. So no need to get too comfy.

S 100 UAVs (for OTH targeting) from Austria.
Another thing is that as your navy lack any of OTH targeting platforms, they cannot engage target beyond 40 km even if you have 100 km+ missile. IFF at beyond visual range in the sea require OTH targeting systems.
S-100 is only used for surveillance and reconnaissance not OTH targeting. You don't have OTH radar either and it's not the only thing that can be used for IFF or targeting. BN can utilize their missile's full range with TDL which you lack.
ATR 42 MPAs with full sensor suite from Israel.
Full sensor suite? That only has a radar and a FLIR. That is similar like our Dornier Do 228 MPA except our ones don't have FLIR, range and speed like your's. But two more will come with AESA radar.
You probably bought a civilian version and then fitted it with those things. Real ATR-42 MPA from OEM looks like this below. Notice what's your MPA is missing. Provide some link and data about the radar and to back your claim that those were fitted by Israel.

Apart from buying platforms they are also upgrading thier 12000 ton Naval Shipyard into a 40000 shipyard.
Second shipyard of KSY will be able to build 120000 tons vessel. Damen is working on to build their own shipyard here. CDDL's current capability is already 20000 tons, it will increase when it gets upgraded for six frigate. So good luck with your 40000 tons shipyard.

don't forget about the 135m frigate with VLS and the two ASW FACs under constration.
We already have two ASW LPC. Now KSY is working on more powerful ASuW LPC with western components. Weren't we hearing about this frigate with VLS for a long time? How long does it take to build a frigate? Come back when you have photos to prove.

They just decided to offer AH 64E for the tender. Not selling.
If they don't intend to sell why would they offer it? Why are you keep talking like idiot?
Another problem is that you have no decent overhaul facility for MiG 29 and you have to send them to Belarus.
If i am not wrong you don't have it either. Although i remember seeing some photo but not sure of it as Russia not so generous to let others use local MRO plant for their jet.
But you must remember that none of your frigates has proper CIWS.
Proper CIWS?! What the hell is "proper" CIWS?! Otobreda 40 mm is a CIWS. This will be upgraded during MLU. Type 76A dual 37 mm AA gun can also be used as CIWS.
Their HQ 7 are Chinese copy of outdated 1970s era French Crotale. Even in the Chinese standard those HQ 7 are considered outdated and substandard.
Crotale/HQ-7 are are considered outdated and substandard??!! Then all these countries including the manufacturers France and China must be pretty stupid to use them still and manufacture new versions. They should have listened to you and use super lethal Igla MANPAD in their ships and other military installation. Alas!! We don't use 60s Soviet era super standard and super updated SAM.
downgraded cheap version corvettes is just funny.
China redesigned the hull for us to sustain heavy sea state in BoB. Second batch of Type-56 has more advanced phased array radar. Which part looks downgraded to you?

Forget about US and West fighters. Just by looking at the acquisition of Yak 130 one can easily figure out that BAF has no intention to buy any of West made fighters.
Buying Russian trainers for West fighters didn’t make any sense.
It's not unusual to train in one trainer then fly another type of fighter jet. Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian air force use Western AJT and fly Russian fighter.
So unlike F22P, your Type 053 H3 are still carrying old HQ 7 not the FM 90 as you claimed.
FM-90 is just a export designation of HQ-7B.
