actually BD state people are thinking of the Indian Ocean, not just the Bay of Bengal, as its all part of national security thinking here.... thinking of India is just consequential.... even talking about India's internal politics and its effect on state policies is normal here..... India has to...

:sniper: they tried to destroy most of our strategic industries (steel, jute, shipbuilding, ship-breaking, etc) and prevented others (electronics, engine manufacturing, petrochemical, airplane MRO, etc) from developing.... if we listened to them, start of work on Padma Bridge would still have...

the concept of battleship is mainly based on sea control as well as control of littorals.... after the carriers took over, battleships' roles became confined around the littorals.... most navies did not feel the need for littoral control, except the US, which maintained a large marine amphibious...

well, let me quote from a book by Mr J N Dixit, a veteran Indian diplomat on Sri Lanka..... after Sri Lanka's interactions with Pakistan and China, on 06 July 1987, India sent an official letter to Mr. Athulathmudali, the National Security Minister of Sri Lanka: "India had taken note of the...

it is shocking to hear such talk from a country that cannot even give toilet facilities to its citizens..... this is pointless discussion.....

aren't we all talking about a state decision to buy 8 aircraft?..... without anything happening, we wouldn't be having this discussion.... thats how statecraft is.... it fetches reaction from others.... everyone automatically takes sides in such reactions.... its the reactions that reflect...

then what are the Indians doing in BD Air Force thread you think?..... to talk about rust-buckets? of course you would.... why wouldn't you?..... if you had any control over that matter, you would've said otherwise........ @Mohammed Khaled ..... see what I mean? :lol: platforms take just days...

of course training is the key to developing a force up to some warfighting standard.... yet, its the intention that changes a game, not the platform.... I am little interested in platforms not backed-up by ambition... the global game is changing with Trump, Brexit, US-Russia courting, etc...

our 70-year old "mature" neighbour is sweating even with us getting 8-10 little birdies.... imagine what will they do when they hear something like a joint military exercise in the Bay of Bengal excluding India.... (oops!! forgot to put any partner name in the blanks!! :azn:)

Type 035Gs are old.... new toys are must to play new games........ it seems that our bulky neighbours are sweating even under water with the prospects of changing games in the Indian Ocean.... oh, and they thought we were only talking about the Bay of Bengal??.... ouch!!.... the interesting...

well, I'm at a loss regarding the number of techno comments in this thread... I would leave those details to experts... but what I'm concerned with is that such abundance of systems and weapons are producing a lot of tactical generals, who are more involved into technicalities rather than...

Gepard-class was already rejected once during the purchase of BNS BB....

fair enough.... rumours are ripe here about such purchases, thats why the query... thanks for the reply... :)

@aliaselin @592257001 any confirmation about Type 053H3 frigates for Bangladesh that we're hearing about from many unconfirmed sources?

nice boats indeed.... these are probably the 3rd and 4th aluminium boats built for the CG.... the first one was CGS Atrai, built in 2007 by KSY... the second one was built by DEWN in 2013...

you can install a sonar under the hull even if its not on the bow... that way, you can actually install a bigger sonar than you could have if it was installed on the bow.... remember than sonar sizes are dictated by the size of the ship.... a bow sonar on a ship like this would've been very...

thanks for the news.... first news was of Minerva, then it came out 'confirmed' as Cassiopea.... but as its quoted by official sources, it has to be taken as final..... :) my mistake.... its changed yet again.... now its back to Minerva-class..... so, you're right.... :)

actually its not going to be the Minerva-class.... its the Cassiopea-class.... :)

at least 17 shipyards are making internationally classified ships.... and the ships are mostly up to 80-100m long.... some yards are now under construction that would be able to build ship of up to 50,000DWT... and remember than DWT is not equal to full load displacement... when ships are made...

17 shipyards are currently capable of building classified ships... the largest ships had been 100m long... KSY is plagued by the draft of the Rupsha and the height of the Rupsha Bridge.... so, it needs its extended yard to go into operation first.... DEWN and Ctg Dockyard are the two other...
