Thank you our brother in arms.Russian naval minesweepers visit Ctg after 42 years
Russian navy officers, who extended supports in minesweeping operation in Chittagong port in 1972-1974, visited Chittagong on Saturday after 42 years, reports UNB.
More than 800 Russian mariners were involved in the minesweeping operation in the Bay of Bengal, according to Russian Embassy in Dhaka. However, only four of them managed to come to Bangladesh and attended Victory Day celebrations on Friday. Many of their colleagues either died or couldn’t travel due to their age.
The Russian officers and their spouses witnessed the Victory Day Parade in Dhaka. They were invited to the President’s Palace for a special reception on the occasion of the Victory Day and attended a dinner in their honour by Minister for Liberation War Affairs AKM Mozammel Huq.
In 1971, the then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) supported the struggle of the people of Bangladesh for independence and was one of the first to recognise the new sovereign state. After the liberation, the Soviet Union extended its helping hand to Bangladesh in reviving its economy destroyed during the Liberation War.The mine-sweeping operation in the port of Chittagong was conducted by Special Expedition-12 of the Soviet Navy in 1972-1974.To remember the self-sacrificing job of Russian navy officers, the government of Bangladesh invited them to visit this country again after 42 years and to celebrate its 46th Victory Day together.
Victor Kozhurin, Captain second rank, who served as a Senior Engineer of the Special Expedition-12 Engineer Service, led the delegation of Russian officers, who arrived in Dhaka along with their spouses on the eve of the Victory Day. Vladimir Karamyshev served as a Senior Assistant to the Commander of the main minesweeper. Alexander Chukanin was the Commander of Electro Mechanic Combat Unit-5 Floating Crane “Chernomorets 13”. Another member of the delegation Nikolay Koloskov was posted as the Deputy Commander of the Ship Raising Party.
Anna Molchanova, Spouse of late Vladimir Molchanov, came to Bangladesh to perform her duty before the husband, who served as the Main Engineer of the Expedition.
Vladimir Molchanov and Viktor Kozhurin wrote a book on the USSR mine-sweeping and ship-raising operation in the Bay of Bengal - The Fairway is Clean Again. During the official reception at Ganabhaban on December 15, Viktor Kozhurin presented this book to Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and suggested that it should be translated into Bangla.
The Russian delegation was warmly received at the Bangladesh Navy headquarters. Chief of Bangladesh Naval Staff Admiral Mohammad Nizamuddin Ahmed delivered a speech on the occasion, expressing his profound gratitude for Russia’s contribution to the 1971 War of Independence and its wholehearted cooperation with Bangladesh in many aspects.

all i see US Navy officer's whining.http://thediplomat.com/2016/12/subm...avy-acquired-deterrence-or-strategic-misstep/
If anyone is in any doubt that the submarine acquisition was a good move for BD this whining piece of "oh no there goes our plan for South Asia to be controlled by US and its proxy India" article should clear it up.
Seems like our detrerrence is already started to show its effect. No wonder who will start BARKING next! As BD-China relationship is taking off the ground backed by multi dimentional engagements, most importantly as our country is taking off, we will not fetch same sort of problems that once Indonesia had with its subs.
