What happened to other priorities like education, health, hygiene? Bangladesh does piss poor in all these areas.
What level of economic development will Bangladesh get by spending money on subs and other naval assets?
Chest beating, propaganda, and BBS fakery won't help increase Bangladesh's GDP.

@Bilal9.
I think the best way to counter such arguments (or should I say daydreaming?) is to refer to papers published by Bangladesh Navy officers. It looks like BN officers have a more realistic view about their nation's capabilities & do not neccessarily agree with BD members here who want BN to build frigates & submarines.
The source is Mirpur Papers, the research journal published by Defense Services Command & Staff College, Mirpur Cantt, Dhaka.
Commander K M Nazrul Islam, psc, BN (E), TRANSFORMATION FROM BUYER’S TO BUILDER’S NAVY: A STRATEGIC CHOICE FOR BANGLADESH, Mirpur Papers, Volume 25, Issue 29, September 2019
The paper lists a number of problems relating to warship building in Bangladesh.

It's evident that Bangladesh lack the infrastructure, R&D capabilities & backward-linkage industries to undertake major Naval projects.
Please do note that this was authored by a serving BN Commander & published by Bangladesh Military Staff College's very own research journal. No amount of personal attacks, whining or wailing will help counter these arguments.
