We have the 802A (180km). What do you want the Durjoy class to be armed with?? Riverine force doesn't need that much fire power right now. They don't even have the boats with smaller fire power (mortar,assault boat like raptor,tank boat). Other sectors need more attention you know it yourself.
No, but the future frigate will have this feature.

I was not criticising C704 as such, it’s capabilities were known when they were purchased.
I am no expert in naval tactics but to my rudimentary understanding the greater the missile range the better. Off course you are going to need complementary raders and communication equipment for all of it to work.
Now for those ships we are equipping with c704 with will obviously be small with smaller raders etc. These ships will operate within our waters, I guess good for near shore deterrence.
Our main issue is to be able to stop any blockade, in that one assumes these won’t play any part.
I think Durjoy class LPC can perfectly patrol the river as the draft is 4m (1 meter longer than Shakti Shanchar). @Bilal9 vai can you confirm it?? Plus you can arm other vessel to patrol the river during war time. (padma class). Let other big warship worry about the blockade.
At Goalando area, where the Brahmaputra river joins the Padma, the combined river has a depth of 55m (mid river) in the wet season. In the dry season, it does not get any shallower than 40m. So no issues.
Even most smaller rivers like the BuriGanga near Dhaka has 15m draft minimum.
Shallow water means??? Canal?? Other smaller patrol boat can work on shallow water. Missile boat isn't necessary.
obviously a patrol boat doesn't enter a river to find a sea at the other end.... the further up river you go, the shallower it becomes... and when a river carries this much silt, its supposed to be shallow in places.... a river vessel's draft is set according to the shallowest water it has to cross.... for all practical purposes, ships above 5m draft are not useful for Bangladesh's rivers.... this is why river vessels above that draft are not made.... usually approvals are given for lesser draft....
this is a good example of ships that have to shift between deep and shallow water..... MV Rodella travels between Kolkata and Dhaka..... maximum draft 4.00m
It's now officially confirmed Bangladesh Navy have bought two ex PLAN frigate type 53H3 Patent no 521 and 522.
Hull 521 is said to have been back in PLAN.#Exclusive
বাংলাদেশ নৌবাহিনীর আপকামিং Type-053H3 (প্যানান্ট নাম্বার ৫২২) এর রিফিটিং এর কাজ সম্পন্ন হয়েছে এবং এটি নতুন প্যানান্ট নাম্বার পেয়েছে।
জাহাজটির নতুন প্যানান্ট নাম্বার F-254 এবং এটি দেশে আসার জন্য সম্পুর্ন প্রস্তুত।অন্য জাহাজটিরও refurbishment খুব শীঘ্রই সম্পন্ন হবে এবং এই মাসের শেষ দিকেই তা বাংলাদেশের উদ্দেশ্যে যাত্রা করবে।
The pics were taken on about August 5, 2018.That doesn't seem right. Tender was issued for two frigate.
PLAN needs photographers like that.
I have no idea.Is there any other frigate scheduled to be decommissioned?
