do BN have VLS ships ?

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.

Not yet. The new indigenous frigate series will have VLS. Probably even modular VLS which is becoming more common...

বাংলাদেশ নৌবাহিনী দেশীয় ভাবে ল্যান্ড বেইসড কোস্টাল ডিফেন্স সিস্টেম বানাতে যাচ্ছে।

গতকাল নৌবাহিনী "বিএনএস উল্কা" তে মিসাইল মেইনটেইন্যান্স ও ওভারহোলিং ফ্যাসিলিটি খোলার জন্য টেন্ডার ছেড়েছে যার ফ্যাসিলিটি ৯ মাসের মধ্যে স্থাপন করা হবে।এই ফ্যাসিলিটিতেই মিসাইলের মেনটেইন্যান্স,ওভারহোলিং আর ম্যানুফেকচার করা হবে।

ইরানের নির্মিত ল্যান্ড বেইসড সিস্টেমের মত করে দেশীয়ভাবে এই Coastal Defense System বানানো হবে।

দেশে নির্মিত "অরুনিমা বলিয়ান" ট্রাকের চেসিস মডিফাই করা হবে।প্রাথমিকভাবে ২ টি C-704 এবং ফ্রান্সের Kalvin Fire Control Radar ইন্সটল করে কোস্টাল ডিফেন্স সিস্টেম বানানো হবে।এখানে উল্লেখযোগ্য পয়েন্ট হলো C-704 মিসাইলের রেঞ্জ ৩৫ কিমি হলেও নৌবাহিনী এই মিসাইলের সাথে Rocket Booster Engine অর্ডার করেছে গতকালের টেন্ডারে, ফলে মিসাইলের রেঞ্জ ১২০ কিমি হবে

এছাড়া মিসাইলের recoil সহ্য করার জন্য "অরুনিমা বলিয়ান" ট্রাকে ৪ টি Hydraulic Stable Bar লাগানো হবে যা সাধারণত স্ট্যাবিলিটি বাড়াতে ব্যবহৃত হবে।

২০১৯ সালের শেষ বা ২০২০ সালের শুরুর দিকে এরকম একটি মিসাইল টেস্ট করার কথা শোনা যাচ্ছে, যদি মিসাইল টেস্ট সফল হয় তাহলে এরকম ১৮-২০ টা সিস্টেম রাখা হবে।

শুধু C-704 দিয়েই না, নৌবাহিনী একই সাথে C-802A বেইসড কোস্টাল ডিফেন্স সিস্টেম বানানোর প্ল্যান আছে।তবে সেক্ষেত্রে হয়তো Volvo চেসিসের উপরে Kalvin FCR বসানো হবে।
এছাড়া বিদেশ থেকে উন্নতমানের Coastal Defense System কেনা প্রকৃয়াধীন আছে।

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.

when you build sea-going vessels, you put some extra standards on it to make it seaworthy..... river vessels are totally the opposite, as whatever the depth mid-river, a vessel has to be able to reach shallow waters in order to be worthy.... you can follow Colombian Navy riverine force developments to get some idea.... they have done some good stuff over the years.....

again, the Durjoy-class is a hard-earned design that combines cheapness with the ability to reach nearest deep-sea ports of Colombo or Klang without refuelling.... all the way escorting the precious cargo vessels..... bigger ships are for a covering force, in case there's a threat nearby.... the best examples can be found from the Battle of the Atlantic during WWII.... the Durjoy design baffled many and its one of the designs that shows that BN is building up their own level in terms of fundamental thinking.... this indicates the path BN will take in the coming days, and thats what others are scared about and desperate to prevent....

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

 

[The Ronin]

Oh then Durjoy class is ok. It has same draft.

Thanks for clarifying this @Ideas_R_Bulletproof bhai...

It's now officially confirmed Bangladesh Navy have bought two ex PLAN frigate type 53H3 Patent no 521 and 522.

#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।

Hull 521 is said to have been back in PLAN.
Maybe only hull 522 will be sold to BN.

That doesn't seem right. Tender was issued for two frigate.

The pics were taken on about August 5, 2018.

PLAN needs photographers like that.

 

[LKJ86]

Is there any other frigate scheduled to be decommissioned?

I have no idea.
