Bangladesh Navy

[Sehnsucht]

The BAF had not done any meaningful procurement, stuck with less than a dozen of 4th gen fighter.i dobt think its anything to do w8th the leadership

BAF right now is a joke.

Are the BN high command prioritize funds for more naval vessels instead of fighters?

Navy has plans of procuring fighter jets to establish it's own maritime strike squadron.Not sure if it's prioritized over getting naval assets.

Heard about it quite a while ago.Don't remember the source.I think a minister had mentioned it once in a parliament session as well.
Take it with a grain of salt, if you will.I'm more optimistic about this than BAF's MRCA.

Bangladesh Navy seeks new patrol craft, anti-aircraft missiles for corvettes
Mrityunjoy Mazumdar, Alameda, California - Jane's Navy International
29 October 2018

Bangladesh’s Defence Ministry is seeking responses to a tender for five patrol craft for the country’s navy.

According to the tender, the patrol craft should have a proven design with a length of approximately 50–52 m, a beam of 7–8 m, a maximum draught of 2 m, and a displacement of between 270 and 320 tonnes. It should be steel-hulled with an aluminium superstructure.

The vessel should be powered by two diesel engines driving two shafts, and an electrical power generation equipment that would need to be of ‘western origin’. Weapons to be mounted on the craft include a Type 61 twin 37 mm gun, and two 20 mm Oerlikon cannons.

Coast guard ones like this have already been made I believe at Narayanganj. They use inboard marine engines with aluminium hull.

@Ronin bhai can you confirm?

Edit: Never mind, these are the Padma Class Patrol Boats...

Padma Class batch 2 (for the Navy) are already being made at KSY....there will be five made in this batch. A total of 20+ are planned for the Navy.

If BCG is satisfied with the three already supplied, they may order more. They need all the patrol equipment they can get their hands on, given the amount of foreign piracy in our waters.

So far eight were planned in the first batch, five for the navy, three for the coast guard, most have been delivered.

Construction for 2nd batch of five started in June, 2019. These small vessels displace about 300+ tonnes and are armed with MANPADs and twin 37mm HMG's as well as Oerlikon cannons like the description above says. ETA for completion of batch 2 may be Q2 2022 (some by mid-year 2020), going by previous batch completion timeline.

Ditto here. Common knowledge in Navy circles.

No change at all？ Interesting

There could be unseen changes, for example SIGELINT suite and RADARs are Bangladesh spec (Kelvin Hughes) I am sure.

And these are makeshift temporary platforms before our local design builds so - no sense in equipping them up in sophisticated weaponry for now, beyond what they already have.
