What's new

Bangladesh Navy

Let's not discuss aazgubi pie in the sky scenarios.
But looking at the size of this thing, it is quite capable of building the C13B Shadhinota class. In fact it could accommodate two builds together.

If only we could get Ulsan class mod with tot and build it there

Get over it,dude. DW-2000 class is history. BN later evaluated Incheon class. Even if budget and everything else clicks and BN goes for something from S. Korea, it will be Incheon Class.

But looks like the origin of next frigates will be China.

Anything modern and build in our country next time will make me happy. Yes incheon class, last years navy chief visited Korea and was interested in that Ulsan mod 3000tons concept that hasn't been made yet. I think we will be getting 2x off the shelf Chinese and 2x new Korean boats?

The possibility is varied.
Korean platforms are on par with nato systems, can go head to head with any naval vessels in the region. But considering that Korean export platforms don't offer VLS, BN might not choose it for that reason,also take in the financial factors.

On the other hand new Chinese platforms are extremely good. China has come a long way in Naval ship building. Their designs coupled with VLS,modern weaponry and state of the art electronics means they can challenge anything any regional player has. And also you should keep in mind all this comes in a lower price. And China always offers BD such financial terms, no other can match. So the game is on China. I will bet my money that, it's China who is going to be the winner of next frigate program.

Very good post.

One thing I would disagree on is that Korean ships do not offer VLS,
as the DW-3000F carries 8 VLS cells for a maximum of 32 ESSM SAMS.
 
For VLS
The best offer will be from china for us
Over all
But second to that is russia as it proven in battle

I bet anyone can offer us better then china

US origin?
SAM would be European origin??

If the VLS is US origined, we can forget it.No chance for BD having a US origin VLS system.

K-VLS is very similar to Mk41. But completely South Korean. It is used on KD2 and KD3 and in future FFX-II/III to fire
  • Hyunmoo III land attack cruise missiles
  • K-ASROC Red Shark
  • KM-SAM aka Cheolmae-2 or Cheongung or M-SAM : a South Korean medium range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system that was developed by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) with technical support from Almaz-Antey and Fakel.

THere is also the Mk41 comparable Sylver series from France.
 
Taking a breather fom the OPV discussion - i wanted to bring back the topic of amphibious landing craft and specifically, new Russian variants.

First there is the DYUGON class (Project 21820) which has a displacement of 280 tons and is capable of carrying up to 3 main battle tank (MBT) or 5 amphibious armoured personnel carriers (APC) like the BTR80's, these would be great for the Army requirement mooted sometime back for riverine use and for UN applications (replacement for the 'Shakti Shanchar' class). We could easily build them locally with ToT.

Next is the Ivan Gren, or Project 11711, which is a larger class of landing ship, meant for open sea and coastal use.

The Ivan Gren class succeeds the Ropucha class, which was roughly the same size.

The vessel has a displacement of 5,000-6,000 tons and is able to carry up to 13 main battle tanks or 36 armored personnel carriers or 300 marines.

I doubt that there is any immediate need for such a vessel in the army but as a large force multiplier for UN use, this could be very useful.
