are the carried torpedoes dummy?

plz refrain from political discussion in this thread.... there are other threads for those.....

thanks a lot for posting this..... do you think any work has gone on it, or was it just ceremonial? coz the frigate went to China to attend an event.....

thanks a lot for the update.... any idea about the time the discussed subs may be decommissioned? plz keep us posted..... :)

ha ha.... yea, we're all frustrated thinking about an apparent lack of many things..... but I won't conclude on anything rightaway.... and neither can I share the reasons why I won't conclude..... I would only put a full-stop by saying that I'm always optimistic.... we have a lotta potential...

have the suns been decommissioned as yet?

well, lets see..... I mentioned my opinion based on assumed primary strategic concerns.... getting more AShMs operational seems like one of the priorities.... diversified platforms of delivery for AShMs may be preferred.... these are my speculations only.....

umm..... the question is, can we guarantee what we are getting?...... thing of subs are usually not visible outside.... pictures won't tell anything..... unless those are specifically mentioned, we'll never know what we got.... usually some submarine specifics are not made public.... we still...

but that deal isn't official as yet as far as I know..... do you have a lead on that? so far, only 24 Yak-130, 5 Mi-171Sh, 9 jet trainer (K-8), 2 maritime SAR helos and 3 transport trainers are official..... the PM uttered those herself....

you mean.... to replace the PT-6.....

yea, doesn't that mean that the Yaks are not just for training? quite obviously they're for 21st and 25th Squadrons.... and most probably the K-8s will go to 15 Squadron, which used to operate the T-37s.....

well, C-802 is a Chinese anti-ship missile..... Yak-130 is a Russian aircraft.... so, Yaks carrying Chinese weapons..... naah.... quite obviously the Yaks would carry Russian missiles.... it now needs to be seen what other stuff are shipped with the Yaks.... 24 advanced trainers are too much to...

I think Yak-130 has another role to play in BAF...... and thats not ground attack..... a subsonic aircraft like that will get withered by AA guns over ground...... its maritime strike..... I think at least some of the 24 Yak-130s would be armed with anti-ship missiles..... I don't think we...

reported this post....

his write-up was imbalanced from the start.... none of the powers is having a hands-off policy here in the Bay of Bengal.... if we want to address it, we should address the whole picture instead of picking up just one part of it.... if someone does the latter, he most definitely favours the...

some inaccuracies for sure.... I think the biggest fault of his writing is that he totally missed out the parts played by India, US and Russia to highlight his point.... the title gives away his stance towards Chinese involvement.....

well, I was actually referring to the pennant in PLAN service.... some of the subs used to show big pennants.... with pennants we can at least guess a little bit about more specifics.... and about these subs' usefulness..... I talked about it before, and would talk again...... if you know how...

thanks a lot for posting..... can you mention their pennant numbers?

whether these ships look similar or not.... is this really an issue for Bangladesh Navy?.... we are discussing Bangladesh Navy here....

dishonesty in all forms should be rejected...... they should've been honest to say that its an Indian car assembled in Bangladesh..... but as it seems, "made in Bangladesh" and "made in India" have enormous difference..... its a marketing "trick".....
