Bangladesh Navy indigenous Frigate development program.

[monitor]

Bangladesh navy has taken initiative to build indigenous frigate with support from China. First frigate construction will start from 2018 . Navy has plan to have at least 12 guided missile frigate the figure could rise to 16 . This frigate will equiped with 32 VLS for medium range LY-80N Sam C-803 cruise missile and other modern equipment.

This will be great if true.

However, BD is yet to buid even corvette sized warships and so it may be too much to jump to frigates by next year.

what are the specifications of the frigate? like tonnage at full load, armament, helicopter carrying capacity and others?!!

Full report expected in coming days in bdmilitary forum.

BN: Shipyards by size

KSY-2: 200 acres

KSY: 69 acres

CDDL: 48 acres

DEW: 22 acres courtesy : bdmilitary .


interesting thing is we are going to use CDDL facility for our indigenous Frigate instead of largest facility of KSY .

4000+ tons.

that is one hell of firepower .but I think Bangladesh don't have capacity and requirement to build guided missile frigate . start with basic steps such as coverts , missile boats .

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Is this a part of the thing called "string of pearls"????? It's not a myth after all!!!!!

What's next??? A ballistic missile with a W-11 warhead?????

On a serious note- Tebrikler!!!!

BD DEFINITELY has a requirement for around 12 4,000 tonne VLS missile frigates. It needs huge conventional forces to safeguard it's sovereignty in a tough neighbourhood.

I am sceptical that BD can start construction by next year as the largest military ships that it has built so far is the 648 tonne Durjoy class patrol craft. However, BD has a thriving civilian shipbuilding industry that can build ships up to around 10,000 tonnes. So it may seem a stretch, with massive Chinese technical assistance, maybe it can be done by 2018.

Whether construction starts next year or a little later, this is inevitable as "Forces Goal 2030" aims for large and modern conventional forces to build a military that can safeguard the interests of around 200 million people.

@Chinese-Dragon ; @ChineseTiger1986 ; @wanglaokan and any other Chinese input would be most appreciated.

we think also same . even our ship building industry ( we have license build agosta , F22 , numerous missile boats ,fleet tanker) is more mature then you and we are also facing a bigger threat . But what have we got , Old Perry Frigates , VLS less F22 and most probably going to get VLS less Ada . Lol , systems are not procured and made in nights . BD Navy building a VLS guided frigate is like crying for moon . I don't think BD will even buy guided frigates from china for pretty much amount of time let alone producing them at home that too from 2018 .

Pakistan does not prioritise the Navy like BD is doing. BD has a huge areas of territorial seas that it needs to safeguard.
BD already has 2 of the modern Chinese Type-56 corvette and has orderd 2 more. These are just as well armed as anything that Pakistan has.
BD will only build the hull - other things like missiles, sensors and engines will all come from China.

has Bangladesh ever built any kind of naval vessel ? I am asking not teasing to get a better view of BD ship building capacity .

Yes 2 types - 350 and 648 tonnes patrol craft.

The project is to be a join project incorporating type 054 tech... These ships won't be all completed by 2030 and so the last variant of type 053 will be bought... 2 every couple of years.
We have the corvette tot already... Construction is to commence along with the first frigate this year.... Early next year.

Expansion of Chittagong dock and Khulna dock was already underway since last year.

Very much experienced in civilian / commercial vessels... Of around 10k+ tons
For navy though.... Patrol boats.... Both large and small, troop landing ship, fuel ship etc.
