Bangladesh Navy

[Bilal9]

Can you post the photo here?

Guys this is the only one I found for the Jiangdao class ASW variant, but can't make out the ASW parts (are these the ones highlighted in yellow?). I believe the square stern opening may be for a towed array variable-depth sonar. Some sources suggest that the Kamov KA-28 heli may be the sub hunter for the Chinese Navy for these ships, but in Bangladesh case of course AW-139 has been the stated choice for a long time.

How many types of frigate they are gonna build? You just talked about 2500 tons frigate a while ago. They are talking about frigate project with CDDL. I think they are gonna build the six next frigate jointly with CDDL in their new yard.

Well, haven't watched this video yet but BAF official confirmed MRCA, MR-SAM and Apache helicopter purchase. Though BAF chief already confirmed it. Still have a feeling something happened in Dubai Airshow.

Diamond aircraft confirmed by Lt Col for Army Aviation. Army has nearly 200,000 personnel (obviously more), new MLRS regiment joining, 3 Corps confirmed as well.

Same old shit in every armed forces day talk show in every year. And amount of oiling they do!! Jeez!! I hope USA just don't find out these oil mine.



Army has more than 80 MLRS and 1000+ APC. Not all BD terrains are suited for heavy tanks. As i said more tanks, MRLS with longer range, SP mortar are coming and they have plans to buy IFV (probably 70 for now) and SPG (tracked/wheeled, both or one. Not sure). Whatever we need and lack will be full-filled eventually under FG 2030.



Well you can not deploy your fighters effectively if you don't have full air surveillance coverage. BD already established ADIZ. Now they are plugging blind spots of BAF's high-level radars such as the RAT-31DL/Ms. The way they are going it looks like they are achieving full air surveillance and full trainer fleet with proper training capability first while working on MRCA , MR-SAM and self-sufficiency on MRO and manufacturing.

MRCA, MR-SAM and attack helicopter purchase is confirm but question is when they are gonna sign/announce the deal or fighter will come. Or did they already sign the deal?

Which MRCA is BAF buying?

Still a secret
Someone said in dbc news, they said attack helicopters and MRCA will be American!?
Also same news channel AF representative said it will be purchased along with TOT

American MRCA? I guess it's F 16 then.

If American f 16 with tot, it’s not a bad deal... Bangladesh will have an upgraded up to date Air Force then

There is nothing wrong with F16 but I am hoping for EF with meteor. Meteors have greater range tham aamrams and is much better. Additionally no political issues.

Please get F16 only if it comes with aamrams in significant numbers. BAF needs to check both india and the monkeys.

I would only get f16s if we buy the whole manufacturing assembly, wouldn’t want to buy it if India proceeds to buy those... spares and avoiding sanctions are of utmost importance

I completely agree. However i am surprised how we will suddently develop the basis for such a venture given we have no industrial base in aeronautics.

Well Lockheed Martin intends to move the entire f16 manufacturing factory out of US, tooling and machineries will not be a problem but competent workforce will be, in that regard maybe first couple of years we can get assistance from Turkish and Lockheed Martin themselves

You need to buy at least 120 aircraft before lockheed can do that. They made that clear with Indians.

I thought BAF is buying Eurofighter Typhoon.

I’m not saying we will buy f16

Well there’s our 10 planned squadrons then

I was actually asking for the model of C-13B ASW variant.

Just curious, why we need this eye wash thing and for who?

I don't think tender just a formality. It's kinda seem silly choosing before closing the tender and even publish it. Never saw any example like that even though people talk about it. Anyone is welcome to provide such example here. Either navy is going for two types of LPC or they are building new variant of Durjoy class with western sensors and weapons. Both have possibility. DefRes claimed that KSY will build two Durjoy class LPC and later a navy official confirmed it. The tender also could be for weapon and sensors as Durjoy wasn't supposed be fitted with major western components. So it's either a completely new western design with western components or a new Durjoy design/variant with western components.

And the photo is similar to Padma class OPV not Durjoy. I doubt it's really meant for us even though the flag looks similar and close to ours.

Which MRCA is BAF buying?

Nothing confirmed. BAF is quite about it. But all the news and talking give a idea at least. Either they already placed order or on the verge of signing the deal. One thing is sure that they are trying to buy American jet.

Still a secret
Someone said in dbc news, they said attack helicopters and MRCA will be American!?

If American f 16 with tot, it’s not a bad deal... Bangladesh will have an upgraded up to date Air Force then

I think i watched every armed forces talk-show and never heard anyone talked about american jet let alone TOT. Can you share the video from that exact time? That feels like BS to me. Why would USA provide ToT or establish manufacturing plant for fighter jet to a country who isn't USA's close ally and never bought any single major military stuff before?

And BAF won't buy 100 fighter of only one variant. Three will be multi-role, six for air defense and one for maritime strike. So the chance is slim. If anything has chance to come with TOT, it's either J-10C or Gripen. We already have MRO plant, man-power, facilities for Chinese fighter. So it will be easy to absorb the J-10C. Air Chief already said next fighter will be cost effective.

And the recent unveiling of FC-20E at Dubai Airshow clearly states that China is very interested to hold BAF for another 30 years. Cause Pakistan-Myanmar already operate JF-17. Anyone else is seriously looking for MMRCA except BAF? Philippine talked about Gripen and Malaysia didn't show J-10 in their list. Also Brazil got ToT for buying 70 Gripen though they have requirement of 100 jet.

Looks like Syed Amar Khan is right again about China even willing to sell J-10C. Jokes on us who believed China won't sell C variant. Why is it so hard to believe that guy?!
