Not really. They have plan for more.
Two more all weather, deep-ocean going 3500 tons OPVs within 2026-2030.
Not all subs will come from China. Type 039 might not come if BN doesn't want Chinese engine and Germany refuse to provide it's own. Better go for more advanced Korean-Turkish options.
Perhaps it looks like that cause the size of total budget is increasing every year. Defense budget is not decreasing here but increasing. Like you said this budget is just for salary and maintainance. Money for procurement is different.
The government in the proposed budget for the 2023-24 financial year has increased the allocation for defence services as usual to Tk 42,092 from Tk 40,360 crore in the outgoing year....

Depends on which type you're talking about. There is plan for a medium size LPD in future. BN didn't provide any further details but the way we're SLOWLY progressing it could change in future and BN might go for something like LHD. IMO we can afford something like Dokdo class easily once things get normal.
A ski-jump light aircraft carrier within 30000 tons displacement is not that impossible and we can use UCAV on it like Turkey. If Turkey really uses naval Hurjet on it's carrier then it'll be more useful idea for future. Here's a post from 2020 on why we need something like LHD. Probably needs some change but still ok.
can i smoke the same one please ? Sharing is caring Buying submarines is more of a deterrence than some glorified landing pads
