China to Build Two Missile Corvettes for Bangladesh

[Zabaniyah]

October 7, 2012 at 10:13

The Government of Bangladesh has signed a contract with the Chinese Wuchan Shipyard, for the construction and delivery of two 64 meter corvettes, similar to, but slightly larger than the Azmat class fast missile boats supplied earlier this year to Pakistan. The first vessel will be completed in 2013. Each of the boats will have a displacement of 648 tons and a top speed of 28 knots. Based on the Houjian-class (Type 037/2) missile craft in service with the People’s Liberation Army Navy, the vessel is designed to carry eight C-802A anti-ship missiles, two 25 mm guns and two 12.7 mm machine guns

building a corvette is not like cooking a pot of curry! your enemy wont advertise on your tv tomorrow that they are going to attack you next year either!

Two China-built Corvettes to be inducted by BN is an excellent news. BN is becoming stronger by each day.

I think you guys are smart enough to estimate what hardware are required for your optimal defense!

Congrats!

Isnt this the LPC?? They are calling it a corvette now?

Anyway if its the LPC, this information in the quotation is wrong

the vessel is designed to carry eight C-802A anti-ship missiles

The LPC carries 4 C702 anti ship missiles

The news is confusing and wro. they are referring slightly larger Azmat which is a Fast attack craft for Pakistan navy as a corvette for bangladesh . actually LPC (large petrol craft ) is quoted as a corvette here .
