4 Minerva Class corvettes to join Bangladesh Coast Guard

[DJ Crudept]

Let me answer your statement....

Point 1. Friend? Since when did I become your friend? Let’s get a few things straight I am neither your friend nor anything.

Point 2. I live in the UK, look it up on a map.

Point 3. I am not a Muslim, I am an agnostic mixed race Bangladeshi, who has never been to a madrasa.

Point 4. Do I think Bangladesh would have achieved its goals without direct Indian assistance, YES, would it have taken a lot longer YES!


Please answer as HONESTLY as you can:


Question 1. Did India go to war because they love the Bangladeshi people, or did India see an opportunity to dismember Pakistan, a strategic objective?

Question 2. What were India goals?

A) A unified Pakistan?
B) Quick resolution to the civil war?
C) Drag the civil war on as long as possible, to weaken Pakistan?

Question 3. Why did Bangladesh have to refer the maritime dispute to the international body, after decades of fruitless talks?

Question 4. Can India be trusted to fulfil any agreements that it signs?

man, what is agnostic ?

Fincantieri completed the first phase of the conversion works at Geneva of Syed Nazrul and Tajuddin

...they're building their own ships while you buy second handed ones...

Have you read the op? It's for coast guard, Navy has better equipments. Alas, being in Israel does not help raise Indian IQ!

Completely demilitarized! What a waste of a perfectly good ship. I could see FL-3000N, C802, 76mm and 2x 30mm on this..

Completely demilitarized!

These are converted to OPVs. Fincantieri completed the first phase of the conversion works in 168 days, after which the two OPVs were sent to La Spezia naval arsenal for weapons and sensors refit.

weapons and sensors refit

What weapons, what sensors? There are none left!

They are still on conversion process. Italian weapons were removed and new weapons will be refitted as per BD coast guard requirement.

May be they will fit them with few shot gun at best..

As above member penguin said, that will be waste for a perfectly good ship. But BN and Coast guard will be responsible what they need.

Is there any report or indication of what equipment will be fitted to these BDCG ships for their new role? For coast guard duties they don't need e.g. antiship missiles, but it could potentially be usefull to (re)fit them 'for, but not with' one of the (Chinese) AShM types BN has adopted.

Somebody post the pic of Kamorta class

The Lungis need to understand what India Considers a Corvette

Maybe then they can stop bragging about their second hand Italian fishing Trauler

Nothing about weapon system disclosed yet.

I'm also interested in sensors e.g. radars, irst etc.
