During the Falklands war, very low level attacks by IAI Dagger and Douglas A4 Skyhawks proved especially lethal to the RN. Picture the aircraft flying at bridge level and using cover part of the islands as cover against radar. At that time, both sides to the conflict used (hand held) Blowpipe MANPADS, which was found to be particularly ineffective when used to engage a crossing target or to chase a target moving rapidly away from the operator. Of the 95 missiles fired by the British, only 9 managed to destroy their targets and all of these were slow flying planes and helicopters. A later report determined that only two kills could be attributed to Blowpipe. Developed from Blowpipe were Javelin, Starburst and - ultimately - Startstreak missiles.Helicopters, and if you get lucky a fighter that stupidly comes in below 10,000 feet to attack.
The only relevant question is: who is each of these navies' most likely adversary and what does that opponent field. There's always more goodies in the cookie jar than you can have.But both of Myanmar and Bangladesh ships are no where near to Singapore's formidable class frigate
well.. dude.. did u google about Gibka..!? as far as i know , the same range with FL-3000N .. 6 km.. i admitted our ship is seriously need AD upgrade.. but our navy is focusing in building more ships.. in december , 1 more frigate and more LCU will be commissioned.. which take much time.. installing and upgrading will follow slowly..
thz bro... it's very informative..During the Falklands war, very low level attacks by IAI Dagger and Douglas A4 Skyhawks proved especially lethal to the RN.

See a Dagger attacking one of the Brit LPDs (hint: look between the masts) on the Brit Imperial War Museum site:

Not just in the face of Blowpipe, but also of landbased Rapier and shipbased systems like Sea Cat, Sea Wolf, Sea Dart.
While Gibka would not be a hand-held but rather a remotely operated unit and the missile used would be more modern, the threat still posed by high speed fighter attack at wavetop level should not be underestimated.

Great..!!!FL3000N has 9km range agaist sub-sonic targets and 6km range against supersonic targets. Also 2 targets can be engaged at the same time and it's speed of >Mach 2.5 is more than the Mach 1.9 of the Gibka. The FL-3000N is a much better system than Gibka.
BVR capable is what..!? may be technically BVR capable... due to its airframe... it will never as good as MiG-29...
if so at least 36 of our F-7 were isreal upgraded..
packed EL/M 2032 rader inside... which is better than KLJ-6E/F ( chinses built of EL/M 2001b) of BD's F-7.. so can we added them in 4th gen..?
then we have
31 MiG-29
36+ F-7
16 JF-17 block 2
3+ Yak-130
so we have 87+ 4th gen aircraft... lol
lol.. what ..? without R & D and TOT , making own designed frigate..!? lol how..!? may be paper frigate..!?
16 Yak-130's on order. 3 delivered. 16 JF-17's on order. Deliveries starting 2017 most likely. Word is that there's some TOT component to the JF-17 deal. I'm not particularly happy about JF-17s but they're an upgrade on F-7's.
Is this your Lamborghini?
i dont think Pak will give us assembling right like K-8s..! may be just some components of them..
I'd settle for that. The only positive I could see from buying JF-17's would be to boost our aerospace industry and in the future licence build our own planes.
i think may be much more than that bro..
coz JF can carry varities of precision Bomb.. good for insurgency.. also it can used in maritime strike which is lack now coz it can carry 3 C-802A Ashm.. plus low maintainance cost.. suitable for stop-gap and to replace with F-7.. if we get assembly right.. it would a good deal bro..
Oh no, absolutely. JF-17's can also carry the C-802 so we can have a naval standoff weapon (I know we have Kh-35 but I don't know whether they can be fitted on our MiG-29's). But it's a cheap stop-gap to replace our F-7's. I was hoping we could get some Flankers to increase our front-line fighter abilities. I know our fighter pilots have been asking for Flankers for a while 'cos the MiG-29's have short range as have the F-7's.
Nice pic brolay! If they can fire Kh-35's then their Bongobundu is toast.
Damn good hanger..in 2nd pic
why we need to appoarch to ur Frigate.?.. just send some kh-35 and C-802A from MiG-29 and JF-17..
8 fm-90 will be shot to bring down Myanmar's most capable fighters....View attachment 319763:roasted:
Bro it'll be shot down before it even attempts to strike the ship.Just see the speed of the missile,both are under Mach 1....
Fm-90 capability against sea skimming path profile of say C-802A is probably quite poor. It (FM-90) is no Barak 8, thats for sure....not to mention the sensor profile on the BNS Bangabandhu is not a really top tier one.
Lets ask
@AUSTERLITZ and @Penguin for their input.
The picture in your post #200 is not that of FM-90, but of C-802 or C-803. As far as I know BD Navy has procured C-802 in 2008 for the Navy. The airforce has procured FM-90, a SHORD (Short range air defense system) missiles to defend various important installations from enemy air attack. FM-90s have been placed in and around big cities and long bridges. Please click the link below for news about C-802 induction by the Navy:
http://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-36354
Haha. Bongos are so touchy. I'm not saying you don't have C-802's. That's the main weapon system on your frigates. I'm saying the ones in the pic aren't c-802s. They look more like an air defence system.
They also have their CIWS system though so it's two lines of defence. To theoretically knock out the Banghabandhu it'll probably need a coordinated attack from air and sea.
let me get straight here
3 to 4 squadrons of fighter is around 48 to 72 fighter, the average prices for modern 4 gen fighter is around 55 million to 115 million US dollar price tag (from the largely cheaper SAAB Gripen C/D to the omnipotent yet expensive Rafale). To procure such large number of fighter you will need around 2,64 billion US dollar to whopping 9 billion US dollar (depending on the fighter you bought). And that's not alone, to procure such large number BD need to revamp her Airbase and training facilities and not to mention to upgrade and rebuilt her training school, as we all know the trainer fighter BD had is insufficient in number to train the needed pilots to manning such large number of fighter. And hence u need to double your efforts to built your training facility and then thats mean more money to be throwing at. The problems is not stop to there, BD as far as i know only had limited infrastructure to policing and managing the traffic of their Air Forces units (Air Traffic Controller and MATC), to upgrade them and directed your flight units efficiently you need to build more Airforward Base Controller and Ground Radar Station Unit, that's mean more money to built those facilities. My best guess, BD need at least 4 to 8 billion US dollar to getting another 2 decent 4 gen squadrons, and more time (around 8 to 15 years depending on your resolve) to built the all needed infrastructure and train the pilots and all of the Ground Crew.
Frankly, neither Myanmar or Bangladesh, at this moment had the capacity to raise such large number of fighter squadrons in near time. Both of you need time and more money to throw at
So what about naval standoff weapons? What can Bangladesh do from the air to take out our fleet? And I mean either what you have now or firm orders, none of this "We're buying 10 squadrons of F-35's in 20 years" nonsense.
You need to getting the idea on how procurement of any platform will always be accompanied by another support and infrastructure items. Even if you bought the exact same of fighter like the previous one you had, let said, Mig 29 you must considering the limit and ability of your current infrastructure to hold and maintain them. If Bangladesh is full of dough like what you said, there is no need for your Air Force to keep, maintain and bought such oldies like F-7 BGI in first place as stop gap unit. Not to mention, Bangladesh Air Force had other priorities besides fighter, like what the Hercules and other carrier fleets you had is very old and need replacement ASAP, more modern Ground radar unit and station to augment your early detection capability and so on.
For Myanmar, if they can bought more Mig-29 fighter, they will not to chose JF-17 at first place. So funding is a big issue for them
See, that argument may work for Myanmar as we actually have to plan for far bigger threats like Thailand but it doesn't work for you as the only other country you face is India and there's no chance of anything meaningful against them. So your only objective is to attempt parity with us (which you don't have). Don't be a clown all your life, iadjani, spreading your deluded ideas about the world. Just answer the question.
That's not parity. That's maintenance of superiority. When you have more and better of something than what someone else has, that is superiority. Difficult concept to follow I know but try.
if your government is seriously tough about procuring 4 squadrons of modern fighter by 2021, at least, right now they had placed initial order for a batch of fighter like what we did with Su-35 and F-16. But so far there is no news about them, the only thing happened is, your government had almost exact planning like what other Air Forces will do, that's is to build the around infrastructure first and then when all the things is set and done they will move further by acquiring the batch of trainer fighter, not in large number but sufficiently enough to see the fruit of their hard work to built the infrastructure and adjust them with the surrounding plan
in case of Yak , we dont rush.. our negotitation started in 2014.. finalized in 2015 and delievery start at the end of this year.. may be even starting before u.. or not different time interval between us..
if so we can also say that we assembled K-8w , u tried to get them.. when we got license built Igla-S locally.., u tried to get that of QW-2.. and again we bought Mi-24P , u followed with order of more Mi-17 V5 attack version.. so can we say u're following Myanmar way..? Actually , no.. both armed force are just following the way of own road map or long term programme.. nothing more nothing less
That's funny because before we showed you unequivocally that we have the superior military
Request? It has to materialise (there is thing called funding). Did BD navy put out what classes it is interested in for this request? What is sunday korea?
I think Myanmar Air Force and IAF should do some exercises then. Will be an excellent opportunity for your Airforce to learn about Su-30 and may be our guys would get to know JF-17..
Myanmar Kyan Shittha class (two ships) till now still being equipped with turret mounted IGLA system and some 30x6 AK 630 CIWS
Meanwhile their Aung Ze ya class is being equipped with Strela MANPADS and AK 630 CIWS
not much, Bangabandu still had the edge against any Myanmar frigate, and the two type 56 corvette the BD has is comparable with the rest of Myanmar vessels although is far smaller and has less endurance as being a corvette class
Other than the Bongobandu and the two corvettes, the rest of your fleet relies on guns for their air defence.
That's a good subject. What are the SEAD/anti-radiation capabilities of Bangladesh?
Currently BD can only attack Myanmar Navy using anti-ship missiles from it's frigates/corvettes.
The air-force does not posses anti-ship missiles and so would have to go in close to use it's LGBs/SGBs which it can do relatively safely since the Myanmar Navy is very weak in air-defence.

Still enough to wreck the Burmese,bro...
https://defence.pk/threads/china-ma...rt-bangladesh-paint-job-is-done.214872/page-8BGI is heavily upgraded with fully new avoinics similar to J-10 ones,sightly re-designed airframe to give much more manouevrability,a radar with 86+ km range...And the best variant of the F-7s...But I think JF-17/FC-1 is a better choice though...
http://sputniknews.com/business/20160426/1038620607/yak-deliveries-rostec.htmlCongrats for getting those JF-17/FC-1s..But MM didn't get the delivery of them yet though...And Yak-130? Really?
Well... we're thinking about that long time ago.. that's why we are sending scholar to Russia for aviation tech..Why doesn't MM try to reverse engineer the K-8 since you guys are assembling them,its gonna be a headstart for you..
Thats why I prefer the JF-17/FC-1 over the F-7 BGIs ;-;
MiG-29SMT can fire Kh-35 and Kh-31 AshM...Does your fleet have anything to shoot at air targets?????
Does your fleet have anything to shoot at air targets?????
nope.. 4 bro.. plus some DI made glatling gun... it can operate in both Automatic and manual..

for this year... we got
1 D.Sc candidate (Doctor of Design Construction & Manufacture of Aircraft) from MATI (Russian State University of Aviation Technology)..........
and another D.Sc (Doctor of Technical Science) from MAI( Moscow Aviation Institute).... and many more M.Sc from Russian Universities on Aviation...
MiG-29SMT can fire Kh-35 and Kh-31 AshM...
No they can't since they will not have air superiority and they'll be intercepted by our AF. That's why it's all about air superiority.
Nice. Is it the Russian AK-630 or is it something else?
All our frigates and corvettes carry air defence missiles. Only 3 of your fleet does.
@Penguin At what point does having an upgraded air defence system become more advantageous than having multiple CIWS? If the main threats are ship borne AShM then is having a system like Glibka and multiple CIWS preferable to having an FL3000? Or is it entirely dependent on the radar system installed (I know nothing about naval warfare)?
Planning on starting a war with Singapore?
Depends a bit on what CIWS. Many are gun based i.e. built around one or more 20mm to 40mm cannon. These have limited range. That is where missile based CIWS e.g. Barak-1 and RAM have advantage: they can reach out further. Which, in the case of faster incoming missiles, give you a little bit more time to engage and a bit more distance between yourself and the destroyed incoming missile (so you don't get hit by incoming debris). The Russians have in the past combined gun and missile on a single CIWS mount. However, they seem to have moved away from that in their newer ships. Further, we see larger guns e.g. Oto Melara 76mm being optimized for CIWS use (Strales/Davide) at longer range. And increasingly, point defence missile systems now double against anti-ship missiles, at longer ranges (e.g. compare Sea Sparrow and ESSM, or some of the newer IRH/ARH missiles).@Penguin At what point does having an upgraded air defence system become more advantageous than having multiple CIWS?

Thats in your borders,we have superiority in our territory...same as every country in the world...am I right?
They look extremely similar...
Well,what air defence? Manpads and AA guns won't do...Does any of your fleet have dedicated air defence SAM systems?

And increasingly, point defence missile systems now double against anti-ship missiles, at longer ranges (e.g. compare Sea Sparrow and ESSM, or some of the newer IRH/ARH missiles).
A full blown CIWS e.g. Phalanx/SeaRAM and Goalkeeper, have their own independent surveillance, tracking and engagement sensors. So, they are in that sense capable of full operation irrespective of ship main sensors.
A VLS missile system is best hands down at dealing with simultaneous attack by multiple missiles from multiple directions.
The only difference between, say, Phalanx gun CIWS and SeaRAM missile CIWS is effective engagement range. Their coverage arcs are identical. So here, whether you have one or two is determined by purse (what can you afford), threat (if your most likely opponents do not have supersonic antiship weapons, you might stick with the gun CIWS) and ship type (you might, for example, put 1 on a corvette, 2 on a frigate/destroyer and 3 on an LPD/LHA/CV).
I would prefer, on small ships, to have some MANPADS on remote control mounts to complement similarly controlled small cannon. If its a high value unit, you might want a real CIWS. German navy FACs used to be equipped with 76mm and RAM. Egyptian Ambassador class have 76mm, Phalanx and RAM. Singapore's VIctory class have 76mm and Barak-1. On larger ship, e.g. corvette and light frigate, I would expect a similar fit as on high end FACs. On larger frigates and destroyers at least that or multiple units e.g. 2 Goalkeeper on Dutch Zeven Provincien 6000ton frigate versus 1 Goalkeeper on Dutch 3200 ton M-frigate. Both backed by ESSM.
Just AK-630 with stealthy feature.. broice. Is it the Russian AK-630 or is it something else
well.. do u have any design for this..? show me..Okay,but our first indigneous aircraft will be flown on 2021
Myanmar would also destroy nanga Bharat.Haha Myanamar would destroy Banglaland.
After destroying Bangladesh,Myanmar would wipe out nanga Bharat from the face of the earth.Myanamar and Bharat will both destroy Banglaland.
