Italian defence giant Leonardo installed the longest range early warning and air defence radar for the Bangladesh Air Force in the coastal region of Barisal near the Bay of Bengal.

Altitude: 30 km
Range: 500+ km

We bought 1000 residential plots in the new city though

To house 1000 BAF fat officers?

Sounds like a legit air force.

Non topic, but thanks for this part in Bengali. Seems, you were born and brought up in Dhaka/east Pakistan.

Doesn't the location of this installation count as 'sensitive' info ?

They’ll house anti aircraft toy gun events

Plenty of softwares available to translate Bengali written in English alphabet.

Try this one for example:

Not really since if so was the case, the purchase announcement wouldn’t have happened, nor would we see pictures of installation or know anything about it
Ofc, non clearance personnel and civilians wouldn’t be let close to this thing, ever

Mr. Damra always had a thing or two for stealing & publishing sensitive photos that were only meant to be enjoyed by military brass. He does it to make him look like somewhat important.

My friend, declaring a purchase & publishing the photograph or sat location of the installation on public forum is entirely two different matter.
First one is called transparency & second one is espionage. OSNIT intelligence works exclusively in these premise.

From the pictures he published even the dumbest enemy pilot can easily calculate the co-ordinates of the installation & use SOM to attack.
Perimeter security won't save someone from an missile attack from standoff range.

My thoughts exactly.

Thank you for addressing that, I was feeling too lazy to type out my concerns.

Good job.

I am actually disappointed BAF choosed stationary version of the radar. I hoped they would go for the limited mobility version.

Apparently they also procured the Kronos Land system as well.

Agreed
I wonder with the introduction of ADIZ, what sort of layered air defence do they plan to have since we know very little about it, HISAR O and FM-90s would still fall under short range air defence. I am curious about mid/ long range SAM acquisition... haven’t heard much about ly-80e since 2-3 years ago

Don't we need both though? In terms of constant coverage and greater range, you need these bigger and fixed radars. For example, the Kronos Land that we procured has a surveillance range of 250 km, whereas this one has 500 km.

But must agree, they shouldn't have posted the locations. I mean what's the point?
