first of all p-8 poseidon is not for patroling purposes , its main goal is anti submarine warfare.poseidon is specialy made for usa and india.so forget poseidon.but we have other options like p3 orion , pakistan has p3 orion. but it doesnt matches with our goal.because these are antisubmarine. if we need to counter strike we need also submarine first too.current purpose is serving by a109 augustawestland heli.

Bro, Boeing P-8 is made for anti-sub and anti-ship operations and, it can do patrolling, surface strike too.

If we can manage money we can buy P-8 any time because, it is not using classified tech and its export is not banned by US congress. As India got their customized version P-8I.

Try to study more.............

If we spend money we should make sure, we are getting up-to-date things . But, if you think old is gold then.............

Thats makes sense but realistically speaking, those F-7s would soon be flying coffins in opposition to latest Sukhois, Migs, Rafales, EF Typhoons etc. Am sure you wouldnt board a F-7 if you had to fight one of these!


Cheers!!!

Just making fun. Ok, our GOVT might think that old is gold. Thats why they bought more F-7s .

There are many things to consider when making a purchase. Its not as simple as you put it. We would need infrastructure,Maintenece and fuel costs to cover and im sure getting those P-8s and maintaining them would take up half of our Budget for the Navy and as far as air force goes, we don't even operate an actual squadron of 4th generation figthers!

We also have no need to have an air force fleet and a naval air fleet-it's far too big and too costly for us in the next 10-15 years.

We have no real experience in anti-submarine warfare and no experience is flying such sophisticated war machines.We need to train and procure much cheaper systems then procure proper ones-We can't afford to buy more if we crash any but India can. If we used your point of view then theres no real point of buying a training sub...just get a brand new type 214 without any experience.

As far as US exporting it goes,India has a much more larger defence budget and actually have the money to procure them. The us knows they can get a few billion off of them but they can't with us.

Also do not compare India's budget with ours-There is a massive difference and any sensible military and government would know not to destroy their economy just to buy fancy toys. We need to learn how to walk first before we can run.

And as far as our goal goes,a larger fleet of ASW capable ships and Helicopters can secure the Bay of bengal with ease.

Khulna Shipyard will build container vessels and Landing Craft Utilities (LCU) for use alongside warships.

Vice Admiral M Farid Habib, Chief of Staff of the Bangladesh Navy, flagged off construction on Sunday.

The navy has commissioned the building of two container vessels and two high-tech LCU craft worth almost Tk 1 billion.

The LCUs will be used for swift transportation of equipment.

Managing Director of the shipyard Commodore Riaz Uddin Ahmed delivered the welcome speech before the naval chief.

The container vessel will be 75 metres long and 13.5 metres wide and 5.20 metres deep. Each vessel will have two 600 horsepower engines.

LCU vessels will be 42 metres long, 10 metres wide and 1.80 metres deep. The vessels will have a capacity to bear a load of 415 tonnes.

They, too, will have two 600 horsepower engines.

The container vessels will be a bit too short for its utility isn't it?

You are just making small thing bigger . When did I said we should buy P-8 ? I replied few forum mates and made some things clear to them, thats all . Please read and understand first then reply .

As I said, If we can manage money, we can buy any thing except the classified .

It seems one of BD navy ordered 053H2 has finished refitting

Picture 2 month ago:

Picture today:

Below is a related but old news about BN purchasing two 053H2 Frigates:

Three frigates to join Bangladesh Navy in 2013 - Military Forces of Asia

Three frigates to join Bangladesh Navy in 2013
Fb-Button

The Bangladesh Navy began a shopping spree in recent years and finally things are coming in to fruition even with economic constraints.

Two ex-PLAN frigates Type 053H2 (Jianghu-III) guided missile frigates, the Huangshi (535) and Wuhu (536) from the East Sea Fleet will join the Bangladesh Navy later this year after what observers call a “heavy refit”.

The frigates were both built by Hudong and commissioned in December 1986 and December 1987 respectively.

Before the refit they were armed with 8 X C-802A SSM, 2 x Type 79A dual-100 mm guns, 4 x Type 76 dual-37 mm AA guns, 2 x 5-tube Type 81 ASW rocket launchers (30 rounds), 4 x Type 64 DC projectors, 2 x DC racks, 2 x Mk. 36 RBOC 6-barrel decoy rocket launchers.

MilitaryForces.Asia sources stated that the vessels would possibly be refitted with updated electronics and weapons.

Bangladesh Navy has recently adopted the H/PJ26 76 mm dual-purpose naval gun in its major surface combatants. The same model would be installed on the Huangshi and Wuhu considering their Type 79A dual-100 mm guns were removed along with antiquated air defence guns.

Their sistership Xiangtan joined the Bangladesh Navy in 1989 and still serves today renamed as BNS Osman (F 18). It was upgraded with 8 x C-802 SSM’s in recent years.

Highlighting Bangladesh Navy’s eagerness to acquire off the shelf solutions in recent times they acquired a US Coast Guard Hamilton class cutter, which is undergoing refit in California before setting off to Bangladesh for joining the fleet.

The Hamilton class cutter is to be converted to a guided missile frigate in Bangladesh by installation of 8 x C-802A SSM and a Chinese origin SAM system, possibly FL-3000N according to a military analyst.

Earlier the Bangladesh Navy negotiated with Italy for two improved Sauro class diesel-electric submarines and a number of frigates but it failed due to the steep asking price by the Italian government. Similarly an earlier negotiation with Montenegro also ended negatively due to unreasonable price and poor condition of the warships.

Bangladesh Navy officers confirmed to MilitaryForces.Asia that the new warships purchased from China and United States were in ‘good condition’.

The addition of three new frigates will provide the growing navy with increased patrolling capabilities in the Bay of Bengal as well as ensure they can bring enough fire power to naval confrontations with neighboring countries.

still so many negetive votes against those f-7 bgi. but honestly it was a planned purchase not only for stop gap.we are going to purchase new advance fighters soon and those resting f- 7 will give a great close support to the army.in vietnam war the usa did the same they used advance fighters for the dog fight and old fighters for the close air support. its a proven tactics. so don't need to disappointed by those f-7 bgi

Just making fun. Ok, our GOVT might think that old is gold. Thats why they bought more F-7s .

Why F-7 is old? We bought 16 units of new F-7BGIs only yesterday!! It is same as Mig-21 and even IAF has over hundred of Mig-21s. Pakistan also has a few dozens of F-7PG. F-7BGIs are 3.5G planes which replaced our older A-5 jets.

Mig-21/F-7 is the only plane in the world that is still found important even after its first production 50 years ago.We are certainly not a rich country, at least not richer than our two neighbours.

Some Myanmar Navy personnel are getting trained in submarine warfare. Rumour has it that they are trying to get submarines. If that is true, then we might require some genuine ASW aircraft and get trained with them quickly. And also to get a submarine quickly to get trained in ASW.

It takes years of experience to truly master a submarine.

Personally, I prefer ASW aircraft like the P-8.

Welcome to the forum by the way.
