Bangladesh Navy will take delivery of first two Augusta Westland 159 wildcat ASW Helicopter this year follow up with more unit.

One of those are going to be stationed on the BNS Bangabandhu. Rest on the new larger frigates yet to be built.

They are going to standardize on these platforms as they are very effective. I am sure the systems on these are compatible with the tactical data-link systems interfaces already ordered.

It's Kronos naval AESA radar from Leonardo.

That's for the 053H2 frigate from PLAN, to replace the old type 354 radar.

Bro, any news as regards exact armaments?

Let us wait for further disclosure.

Why the C13B doesn't have sonar and ASW?

C13B is optimized for Littoral warfare/are Denial roles. Together with the Durjoy class LPC's they will form the mainstay of our Brown water capability. Keep in mind our coastal areas of BOB isn't very suitable scenario for Submarine warfare nor I think a large subs will fair good in the shallow water of BoB.

SO they deleted the ASW of type 56 and used the space for additional Sensors and upgraded Electronics for surface warfare while the much smaller Durjoy class shoulders this duty with it's multirole capabilty.( Durjoy is very much Modular it can switch and change gear for both Anti Surface/ASW.

This very thinking/strategy can be seen in recent Russian navy acquisitions too.

Karakurt class corvette.Which completely lacks ASW suits. Though it is much similar to Durjoy class in weight with better surface oriented sensors (some in design concept too).

Steregushchiy class corvette

This all happens when the 2500 ton frigates like Type 53 and 4000 ton frigates will take up the Green Water defense duties. Also keep in mind BN will Replace the old Type 53 with new multirole 2500 ton vessels post 2030.

2030 is the short term goals, we have to keep our mind open for the 2050 aka long term goals aka Blu.... cough... cough...

Janes 360 Reported

China’s Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group has launched the third of four Shadhinota class (Type C13B) corvettes on order for the Bangladesh Navy (BN), according to a news report published on the Chines web site.
On 12 February China launched the third Type C13B corvette on order for the BN, according to a local news report.

The launch ceremony for the 90 m-long warship – with pennant number F113 – was held on 12 February at the company’s shipyard in Wuhan, said the report.

The vessel follows BNS Shadhinota (F111) and BNS Prottoy (F112), both of which were launched in Wuhan in late 2014 and were commissioned into the BN in March 2016, according to Jane’s Fighting Ships .
However, images show that, unlike the previous two ships of the class, the latest one appears to be equipped with a more advanced phased-array radar, which, according to chinese media, could be the SR2410C 3-D multifunctional radar, although no official confirmation has emerged.
