not impossible, US Frigate and other western Frigates can easily be considered as Destroyer for India too
BD not only operate c-8xx but assemble and maintain them. In which world do you live in?I think China might not be willing to give the longer range C8XX missiles to Bangladesh........or does Bangladesh have any in service?
PN was able to get C802/3 installed on Azmat FAC as Pakistan already possesses a large stockpile of long range C8XX missiles from China.

they hv alrdy offered us their cx-1 nd c-602 for our coastal defence battery ...I think China might not be willing to give the longer range C8XX missiles to Bangladesh........or does Bangladesh have any in service?

I meant overall...
Hasina is doing great in this term in office.
Very Informative Bilal bhai.A very interesting example (one actually armed to the teeth and a credible deterrent) Fast Attack Craft - Missile (FAC-M) is the Tarantul I/II/III class with about 500~600 ton displacement. This was the follow on to the OSA I/II class missile boats that Bangladesh recently retired or will soon retire (quite a bit smaller at about 200 tons). However the Tarantul class was followed on by the 900 ton BUYAN-M class, which is even more potent than the heavily armed Tarantuls. Images follow. Let's discuss.
OSA class
Tarantul class - the first image below is of the Vietnamese Navy boats built there
This is a later modified Tarantul variant - called the Project 12418 'Molniya' class (INS Prabal)
India also operates a local variant called the 'Veer' class, later variants are lengthened (Tarantul l vs. II), presumably for better high speed ride and sea-keeping reasons, among other things. Note also that the later fitment of radar and sensors are similar to Molniya above.

The latest complete revamp and revision of the Tarantul coastal defense class is the BUYAN-M class, much sleeker but still well-armed. It has a VLS magazine for 8 Kalibr (SS-N-27) anti-ship missiles (or ONYX missiles) aft of the wheelhouse. Twin AK-630's and 4-pack GIBKA (IGLA missile) MANPAD mounts both fore and aft round out the package.
Here's a project 21631 M (BUYAN-M) launching its Kalibr ((SS-N-27) anti-ship missile....
Very Informative Bilal bhai.
BN's OSA I/II class missile boats are still in service,they will serve at least another decade.As plan to replace them with new platform has been discarded,and the boats has undergone midlife upgrade.
BN will need a FAC platform both in 200 and 600 ton class.I think Type 22 hubei class will be a perfect replacement.And for 600 ton class,modified Durjoy class vessel will be good.
And for 900 ton class BN already purchased Type 56B.Though there is no VLS on board.I would love to see the type 56 corvettes design being modified to carry VLS.
Keep in mind doing this means less money on purchase and induction(raising infrastructure and training etc.) on each platform.
Isn't DEW building patrol ships almost of the same design??Interesting job for the US Navy's smallest sea-coast platform.

The class is known as the US Navy Cyclone class.
