Pakistan does not want J-10 as it is similar to
F-16.

Really ? They have been planning it's acquisition for years.

Changed their mind as they did not want the cost and complexity of another fighter that added nothing to what F-16 can do.

Really ? where is their official statement about the same ? I would be amazed if they chose sanction prone F-16s over J-10.

Pakistan started off with F-16 and got used to the type.
Also there was an issue with Russian engines a decade ago which is now no longer the case.

And China doesn't want a powerful Pakistan. Seems legit.

Of course they want, That's why giving them 8 Yuan class submarine.

@Rain Man....

14 frigates, 4 destroyers- that's as big as present Royal Navy...

Awww....he is being modest, Bangladesh will have 20 full carrier fleets, each thrice the size of any in the US Navy, and a zillion dollar economy by 2030. In fact Bangladeshi Taka will replace USD as the global currency by 2030.

Pakistan has to maintain ballistic missiles and nuclear arsenal. BD does not need them.

Plus, Pakistan maintain a bulky army.A lot of money goes to just paying salary. I have read that Pakistan army trying to get rid of 50,000 batman!

I think In 2030, BN will have-
6 submarine- 2 Yuan class, 2 song class, 2 ming class
14 frigate-6 Type 054, 4 Daegu/Incheon class, 1 Ulsan class(Bangabandhu) and 3 Jianghu class(Refitted)
10 corvette-8 Type 056, 2 Castle class
42 Patrol vessels-8 Durjoy class, 24 Padma class, 10 other(Island class mostly)
@UKBengali @TopCat @Nabil365 @Khan saheb @BDforever what do you think?

i think the number of frigates will be 13: 6 054, 6 053h3 and ulsan
padma parol vessels are likely to be transferred to the coast guard as BN doesn't want to operate war ships less than 500 tons.
as for the other platforms i think you have a correct guess!!!

Ah, it's now 8 ? Earlier it was 4

So the all weather friend is only getting 8 subs, no fighters, no surface combatants ?

What do you think you would get ?

 

[damiendehorn]

what ? 1 trillion ?

GDP in 2004 was just $65bn (base 1995) and with an average growth rate of under 6% it has reached $247bn (base 2005) in 2017 (quadrupled) in just 13 years. GDP growth has now reached over 7% (without the major infrastructure investments coming on stream and political instability) and should exceed 8% (with padma setu connection, rail connection, EPZs, ports etc).

So the prospect of a $1tln GDP by 2030 is very likely.

China is transferring stealth submarine tech to Pakistan, 4 AIP subs will be built in Pakistan.

That's why price is so high. Makes sense...

Yep, in 2030 it will get to above 1 trillion US dollars in then prices.

BD building a powerful military by 2030 is very much affordable, even keeping the defence expenditure at current 1.4% of GDP. China will sell at a discounted price and also allow payments over 5-10 years at zero or very low rates of interest to BD.

The Indian(@gslv mk3) is either a little slow or just trolling for the sake of it. With the plan announced to build 6 4,000 tonne+ cutting-edge frigates in BD, they now know for sure that BD will create a very powerful military and their bullying days will soon be over.
