What's new

Bangladesh Navy

. .
under some weird american laws, navy was barred from installing any chinese weapon systems and sensors.... rendering them fit for only patrol operation for which they're currently used.... they will be used for training cadets....
we dont need to. We can use otomat instead.
 
. .
barred too.... literally nothing without US approval.... and they have stated this before.... what they've given are patrol frigates and i think they intend to keep it that way...
We just need a NOC from USA and there should not be any issue with otomat

এছাড়া আপকামিং Type-053H3 তেও এই রাডার ইন্সটল করা হতে পারে।

those two "frigates" are currently being used only as training ships.... in case of any emergency, this might create a shortage of two frontline frigates.... the force level of BN has to be brought up quickly in order to plug the gap created by US blackmailing... we can't wait for another contingency before we upgrade ourselves....

well, now everyone in bd who lobbies for US weapons should understand//// their products are never without any strings attached

Still a particular moron comes with fake id and barks about US made weapon even after seeing what happened to Turkey F-35, Pakistan's T-129, Philippines Kilo class or Indonesia's Su-35. Thank god we don't buy something major or rely on them for military hardware so much.

Ship getting its crew "officially" after 3 years..... Probably two sets of crew here.... the ship always goes abroad with a lot more.... around 50-60 cadets are normal....

BNS Somudra Avijan to get 367 men

5 July, 2018

Three years after being commissioned, the Bangladesh Navy's frigate, BNS Somudra Avijan, will be getting 367 men so that the warship can be put to proper use during naval operations. The 367 posts in 34 categories would be included in the organogramme of the warship, which has been taking part in various at home and abroad for the last three years, government sources said. For creating the posts, including those of Commanding Officer (CO), executive officer and engineer officer, pilot and helicopter officer, the Ministry of Defence has prepared a proposal. It would be sent to the next meeting of the secretary committee on administrative improvement affairs soon.

The Prime Minister has already given her consent to create the posts, the sources said. The proposal says the warship is capable of conducting naval operations on the sea and is also capable of sailing for a long time. The Finance Division and the Ministry of Public Administration have approved the posts for the BNS Somudra Avijan, a Cutter Class warship, according to the proposal.

Before being inducted into the Navy, it served the US Coast Guard as "USCGC Rush" for a long time. The proposal also says that the warship was handed over to the Bangladesh Navy as Excess Defence Article (EDA) Grant in 2015. According to the sources, BNS Somudra Avijan visited the port of Manila in the Philippines from November 13 to 16, 2015, on her way to Bangladesh from the United States.

The ship took part in the 15th Western Pacific Naval Symposium (WPNS) and 2nd Multilateral Naval Exercise Komodo (MNEK-2016), a multinational naval exercise arranged by the Indonesian Navy for ASEAN and ASEAN+ nations held at Padang, Indonesia. On her way back, she stopped at Port Klang, Malaysia, for a goodwill visit. Somudra Avijan, with her sister ship, Somudra Joy, left Chattogram for India and Sri Lanka on a goodwill visit on September 18, 2016.

BNS Somudra Joy and BNS Somudra Avijan are being used as training platforms.... because the ships have a lot of space for accommodation.... but this also means that BN is two fighting frigates short....
