Why did Bangladesh buy Chinese submarines? Why?why ? Whyyyyyy ?

[Major d1]

As our wish we did the deal with china. Any prob ?

 

[Loafer]

It's even shameful for humans, cows and monkeys when a country where people don't even know how to use toil*ets, comment on others.

Says a country which itself has poop written all over it.

Bangladesh and civility do not go in one sentence.

So open defecation and civility go? Right!

Indians will be the last persons to talk about civility!

India is fast developing nuclear as well as conventional Subs, i am sure BD will purchase Indian subs in the future.

Not from india. Even under a AL government there is very little chance of us buying any indian equipment, the heads of the services won't allow it period. It like asking indian military to buy Chinese equipment won't happen.

Could you please help me understand how your procurement system work? Is it a tender process or direct purchase?

If it is an open tender, it makes sense for Indian Shipyards to participate, afterall Bangladesh is an emerging economy.

There is a tender process, but under invitation of a RFI. None of the services have since the late seventies ever considered purchasing any major weapon system from india, and that will not change anytime soon. A unwriten rule has been observed of the gov not interfering too much with the armed forces and the armed forces letting the run the civil admin.

The armed forces would never allow the purchase of indian products....

Eh?

India produces large SSBN subs (Arihant class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine displacement 6,000 tonnes)....four are planned. The first one went on shakedown sea trials on 13 December 2014.

Russia makes them, Indian labels them

When the time comes, why not? I believe they would be cheaper than others.

 

[Beast]

Look at the level of hatred.

Every country can buy anything they want, what's so much fuss...

Can you buy F-22 , J-20 or ICBM ,SSBN or miniature nuke warhead?

To counter China, government rushing defence minister Manohar Parrikar to Bangladesh

Rajat Pandit | TNN | Updated: Nov 16, 2016, 09.26 AM IST

NEW DELHI: India is dispatching defence minister Manohar Parrikar to Dhaka later this month to chalk out a major upgrade in bilateral defence cooperation in the backdrop of China continuing to expand its strategic footprint in Bangladesh.

Government sources said on Tuesday that a new defence cooperation framework, which will lead to stepped-up military supplies, technology transfer, training and joint exercises as well as closer cooperation in counter-terrorism, will be discussed during Parrikar's two-day visit to Bangladesh from November 30.

"It is likely to be inked when Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina visits India in December. Incidentally, Parrikar will be the first Indian defence minister to visit Bangladesh in years," said a source.

The visit comes soon after Bangladesh took delivery of its first-ever submarines from China on Monday. The two diesel-electric submarines, handed over to Bangladesh Navy chief Admiral Mohammad Nizamuddin Ahmed at the Dalian seaport of Liaoning province in China, is a big indicator of the extensive military ties being forged between Dhaka and Beijing.

In mid-October, Xi Jinping also became the first Chinese president in 30 years to visit Bangladesh, which led to 27 deals worth $25 billion being inked. India, of course, can neither match China's economic muscle nor its domestic defence industrial base.

But India is trying to counter China's inroads into its neighbourhood, ranging from Sri Lanka, Maldives, Seychelles and Mauritius to Bangladesh, Myanmar and Nepal. Apart from supplying air defence guns, radars and mine-protected vehicles to Sri Lanka, for instance, India is also constructing two naval offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) for the island nation now.

"Similarly, India can supply OPVs to Bangladesh through innovative financing mechanisms. The training of Bangladeshi personnel in Indian military establishments will also be increased under the overall capacity-building," said the source.

The sixth edition of the India-Bangladesh joint military exercise "Sampriti" is also currently underway at Tangail in Dhaka. "With the focus being on counter-terrorism, the exercise will boost interoperability between the two armies. Regular naval and air force exercises will also be on the agenda now," said the source.

India's ties with Bangladesh are certainly once again on upward trajectory now under Sheikh Hasina's leadership. The two have backed each other on terrorist attacks on their soils, with Dhaka supporting New Delhi's stand on boycotting the SAARC summit+ in Islamabad.

India was also relieved at Bangladesh's move to scrap China's bid to construct the Sonadia deep-sea port at Cox's Bazaar earlier this year. But China has several other projects underway in Bangladesh, which also supports the former's "One Belt, One Road" initiative.

India, on its part, has actively worked towards bolstering ties with Bangladesh over the last three-four years, with one of the main objectives being the need for the two to `resolutely' tackle terrorism together.

India has also been holding direct Army-to-Army staff talks with Bangladesh since 2009. The importance of the talks can be gauged from the fact that India has similar staff talks with just a handful of countries, which include US, UK, Israel, France, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.

We very much like to. But first we need a patriotic govt to replace these Delhi plants. And FYI, Chinese MSS are rather rare in BD. ISI has withdrawn. So RAW is having a jolly time.

 

[Spring Onion]

It's really shameful for humans when a country which does not have a 4 lane highway, the largest country never to have won an Olympic medal, a country which has keeda to go on war with neighbours is buying submarines instead it's starving and embarrassing its population with poverty and LDC status.

if India can become one of the the biggest buyer of arms in the world despite immense poverty why can't Bangladesh buy few ?

And also if a country is poor does it mean she should not have a line of defence against enemies?

Above all Olympic medals cannot defend you against a bully like India.

India is fast developing nuclear as well as conventional Subs, i am sure BD will purchase Indian subs in the future.

I think India should offer at least two Submarines to BD free of cost to counter Chinese influence.

But, by all your accounts so far in this forum, BD is already a part of India. At least you are now trying to come out of your fictional and delusional world.

You should ask Hasina to send you to the airport to receive him.

 

[ChennaiDude]

This guy looks like a village tout to me.

Well he is not!....Read below.

Manohar Parrikar was born in Mapusa, Goa. He studied at Loyola High School, Margao. He completed his secondary education in Marathi and went on to graduate in metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT Bombay)[6] in 1978. He is the first IIT graduate to serve as Chief Minister of an Indian state. He was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2001 by IIT Bombay.

talk is cheap, lot of thing must be done before BD can move to start to build her submarines

@Bilal9

Bangladesh is yet to able to produce her own military grade steel mills, let alone producing pressurized high strength steel mills capable to withstand high pressure under water. Indonesia, Turkey all trying to nurture their supporting industries first (like steel industries, automotive and shipping industry, electronic and components industry) before moving into large scale military projects like building subs or frigates and have necessary facilities and human resources in order first before taking the challenge.

This is true. However I'd argue not all SSK submarines made in less than first world countries are built with their own steel produced in the country. For example - most of the steel used in building the Agosta 90B's Pakistan fields were imported.

India's Scorpenes may have also been built using imported steel.

The steel used in building subs has special properties not produced everywhere.
