Bro, quite frankly, the people of the two nations have a common enemy. And despite the history that we have, we are brothers in faith. It's nice to see this.

The US has has been bullying Iran for decades. That has nothing to do with China or Russia. Or the apparent rise of Asia. Also, that's a nice impartial source for the article

Strong ties between Turkey and Bangladesh just seems natural.

Lovely video! Watching this video is bittersweet. There is so much potential for BAF. If only some muppets would get their acts together! Please just get the Eurofighter and then plan on a purchase of a single seat Western type for numbers. (Buying Rafale, as great as a platform it is, is a...

A nice video on Chinese subs by an authority.

Eh nuclear submarines? Dozen diesel subs? I don't think so. EVER. Let's start with 3-4 high quality new builds from Europe. That would be amazing.

No thanks. Not as good as Western counterparts. But more importantly, why buy from a supplier who has actively favored Myanmar?

The statement is pretty straight forward. What don't you understand? F-35 carries a really hefty price tag for a declared neutral Western European nation with France, Germany, Italy, Austria and (OMG!) Liechtenstein as neighbors...

Love the Rafale. Just don't like the fact both India and Bangladesh would potentially be flying the same type.

Have some shame. This is not some laborer or smuggler. Pathetic. https://www.thequint.com/news/india/rape-threat-to-virat-kohlis-daughter-son-will-apologise-father-of-jailed-iit-graduate-ramnagesh-akubathini

Very true. But what is the alternative?

Bangladesh has more reason to buy Eurofighters or Rafales than Switzerland has to buy F-35s.

Let's say some Type 23 Frigates do come from the RN. The question is....What will be the ASM used by BN? The Harpoons are old and the RN was looking for a replacement. Also, I doubt BN would even get access, as I think some agreements need to be in place before any transfer of the Harpoon to...

Let's just take a step back and think about something. Whether BAF picks Eurofighter or Rafale, the fact that we are here is significant. I don't think anyone in their right mind would mention Rafale and Bangladesh in the same sentence just a few years ago. And here we have pics of the French...

Can we keep this thread on the topic? Thanks.

Agree. I think you meant Type 23 but we get it. I like it!

Bangladeshi officials aren't alone in that regard wouldn't you say? From the public available info, it appears that AT LEAST 2 will be new builds and will be done in Bangladesh. So most likely at least 2 Type 031. Also there was this...

I don't think anyone reliably knows the details. Regardless of the actual platforms, the politics of it all is so interesting. I wouldn't be surprised to see old Type 23 as a stopgap before any Type 31. Also, is this the "indigenous" frigate project or in addition too? A lot of questions...

Interesting news. BN is putting BAF to shame. Also, happy to see the overall path Bangladesh is taking. https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/foreign-affairs/2021/11/04/pm-hasina-for-changing-traditional-lens-of-bangladesh-uk-relations...
