Bangladesh - Air Force

[Avisheik]

How about new helis?

No new news about helicopter procurement for the air force. Although the navy already got 2 this year and getting another 3 later.

Really?? Didnt know that.

Bangladesh, this year has bought a lot of new equipment, considering the budget restrains

THe statement in post#25 needs correction. BN has ordered the following from China:

1) 2 NEW Jiangwei II MISSIILE frigates

2) 2 old but reconditioned Jianghu MISSILE frigates

3) 2 MISSILE-fitted Light Patrol Crafts or LPC-Ms

BN also received 33 units+ 14 = 49 units of destroyer class fast patrol crafts from the USA. BN ordered two units of Submarines to probably Germany. BN also bought a refurbished Corvettes from UK. Then there are helis already bought and patrol aircrafts to be procured from Germany. The list goes on and on.

However, BN will also decommission 2 of its existing old frigates. With new hardwares BN is quite strong now-a-days. Two new submarines will add a new dimension to it. BN will become a 3D navy.

BD is spending too much on the military. But, we need it. BoB may contain more than $500b worth of wealth. It is unworthy if we do not spend only $10b to protect this wealth from the aggressive two neighbours.

Well there is nothing yet concrete on the 2 submarine purchases...Hasina mentioned it is being 'considered'. Though i might be wrong.
