You have to understand that these Hindutva idiots belong mostly to the uneducated underclass. The fact that the Internet got democratized does not mean their opinions all of a sudden matter a whole lot more.

In fact if you saw these idiots on the street you'd have second thoughts about talking to his ilk....

I'm not a super-classist person but there are such things called 'auqat' and 'meritocracy'...

I am not sure why your people would rather die than stay in Bangladesh

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.

Why not the Chinese AShMs?

You could interprete my earlier post as a question 'why on earth would you use this as an OPV when it has far greater potential by design?'

It was designed mainly as anti-submarine warfare escort, with good anti-ship and anti-air self defence capability, intended to free up larger units for other work. It has not helicopter, hangar or deck, because it would operate near Italian bases and so work with landbased helicopters and MPAs. The only area in which is it deficient is antiship missile defences. Putting in Strales/Davide on the 76mm would help, as would a more modern surface to air missiles system e.g. ESSM, fired from the original 8-cell launcher, or 4 Mk41 single cell VLSs, or even just VL-SeaSparrow one or more Mk48/Mk56 VLUs.

Even in OPV role, with very light armaments, it would benefit greatly from extending the 0 deck all the way aft and create a helicopter-deck and perhaps even a small hangar for a pair of UAVs.

Penguin Sir, I dont think you can use helis and other armaments at the same time....it has got a smaller deck meant for a ciws with some torpedoes tubes and air def missiles.....if u put a chopper there then may have to give up the defence entirely....
Would be better to use it with a 76mm,some torpedo tubes and some machine guns for patrolling

If BD is using it as a CGS then i would only expect machine guns and torpedos

By extending the main deck all the way to the stern, you could have a heli-deck, have ASW torpedotubes in the space below it and a VLS near/against the superstructure. Works just fine. There would be no hangar, so the ship would support land based helicopters (the ship would have no organic maintenance functions for the heli, but could rearm and refuel it at sea)

Bhai Nabil - these Indian trolls are always trying to derail threads like this, don't pay any heed, they will go away eventually. It's sad that out of the variety of trolls we have here, 95% are Indian who are clueless about ground realities in India itself.
