Bangladesh Navy

[The Ronin]

The Bangladesh Navy might be preparing a new utility helicopter tender with some heavier weight helicopters in mind. It will be something larger than existing AW109E Power which doesn't have foldable rotors.

Could these not have been built in BD shipyard? Waste of both foreign exchanges and valuable opportunity to learn and develop own capacity.

KSY will still have to rely on CSOC for some other materials package beside the design which we don't manufacture.

Anyway according DTB BN might choose Aselsan 30mm or Mk38 25mm Gun instead of HP/J-76 Remote control gun.

80 navy peacekeepers leave for Lebanon UN mission

They have left the Chittagong Airport

A team of 80 members of Bangladesh Navy have joined in the United Nations (UN) Peacekeeping Mission in Lebanon.

The team left Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong on Thursday.

The team was deployed to join the "Bijoy" warship.

On July 4, another team of 30 members of Bangladesh Navy left for Lebanon.

"Bijoy" has been stationed in the Mediterranean sea as Multinational Maritime taskforce member.

The warship has been placed to prevent pirate ships from entering through the Lebanese border, for rescue operations and to keep watch on aircrafts flying above the area.

What's the significance?

Well KSY is in the business of building ships for some six decades and most naval yards like them don't design ships and are not naval architects.

Damen has the latter architect role (one of the best in the world) and offers designs via license. So you can make some hunches. What I don't like is that some dadas have now inserted themselves in the middle as foot-servants of the Dutch (Damen). These people cannot be trusted (nothing personal) and should be left out of the process as much as possible. This is a National Security installation.

KSY has built CSOC (China) designs so far.

As others have stated, they are planning a new state-of-the-art yard in Barguna, near Patuakhali. The location is not far from the port of Payra. Damen could have some involvement in the design of that new yard as well.
