Fact is, the BD Navy has good advisors, across its borders. Cant let our friends down, can we?

if you are their friend than why the hell are they buying such things from China and not from India?

So that the Indians can get a good, hard look at the Chinese hardware. Now what are good friends for?

and if you are their friend who the hell will they use this stuff against? I dont think India needs to look at Chinese hardware, Russia can help India much better than BD in this regard

Newly built LPC for Bangladesh Navy launched in China might be better than the ones for Pakistan, at least they have 76 mm main guns!!! I don't know why navy want something else^^^^

Clearly a different design from Azmat, with different role and emphasis in the context of its particular navy.

Hey this is passtime for me, so why rush ;-)


There is no denying the asymmetry.
But so what?
Then no matter what you pack on how large a ship, you're doomed anyway.
End of discussion afaic.

(PN doesn't only exist to ward off IN, just as it is not IN sole task to hit on PN.)

Very nice video

This was in Hong Kong, not Singapore; the video was posted a long time ago in the Azmat thread.

PN could have made a JV or 700 ton FAC, 2100-2500 tons Corvette and 3200-3400 tons Frigate like F-22P but with advance systems on board. So that they will learn in a better way how to design and build from Scratch...

Pakistan Navy will be handed over 4th F-22 P Frigate in April 2013
March 21, 2013
In addition, a Fast Attack Missile Craft and a 32-ton Tug are also under construction [Penguin: at KSEW] which would be handed over to PN as per the contractual schedule.

This suggests it has not yet been handed over to/ entered service with PN

 

[Nishan_101]

I think PN needs to have about 7 of this and later 7 more of the next block-IIs.

Well that was expected from you...
Well PN just needs maximum 6 of them...
and even 6 are not present at moment because plans for 4 covertees 4 more F-22P and 6 subs is underway.....

A funny thing i noticed on azmat clas,the boat doesn't have sensors necessary to track,acquire and guide its c-802 missiles.Requires guidance from external sensors?Its useless on its own.Or am i missing something here?
