Beside 6 guided missile frigates BD need 0ne 6000-7000 ton Destroyer.

Only blue water navies need destroyers and then mostly as carrier escorts. You can study other medium sized navies comparable to Bangladesh and then see this.

That one Destroyer, our @UKBengali vai will set in Buriganga to protect entire Dhaka against MAF

Much as I would love BD to be equipped with destroyers soon, this is unlikely to happen before 2030.
BD will be busy between now and 2030 in building 6 frigates which for all intents and purposes will be mini-destroyers withe the full array of SAMs, SSMs and LACMs. These ships will completely dominate MN and provide a strong opponent to the IN in the Bay of Bengal.
BD can build destroyers before 2030 but it will mean turning it's back on it's egalitarian society that looks after all it's citizens as best it can.

We actually dont need to waste money and resources to build a destroyer even after 2030. This does not and will not bode in with our doctrine. We should continue building frigates and look to expand our sub fleet.

What we need to do is start producing artillery pieces and its ammunition locally and have a heavy number of them by then.

If possible, we should start looking into making trainers, helicopters, UAV at BAC by 2030. But that is BAF we are talking about, the most moronic leadership of the 3.

I agree to some extent.
However BD's strongest adversary India will have at least 12 destroyers by 2030. BD will continue to keep building frigates after the current 6 but may also want a small batch(3-4) of destroyers as well.
With the rise of BD, it's trading interests will become more global and nothing would beat sending a fleet led by a couple of destroyers.
I know this is projecting 20 years into the future but an economically prosperous BD would need a potent BN to safeguard it's trade.

secret: BN's number game cough*** cough***

The solution is simple my friend.

Build a 7000 ton ship with systems and armaments that of an destroyer and call it a frigate.


Anyway we are veering off topic here.

Goodday.

They have 11 today , 3 kolkata class, 3 delhi, and 5 rajput class. And i will put the firepower and endurance of their Shivalik class frigate above Rajput class

Rajput class will retire in a year or two.

Doesn't matter what India has. If it doesn't comply with our doctrine, there is no point getting it. Matching India arm to arm was never the target of BN but to stay formidable. And to stay formidable, a destroyer isnt a necessity.

OK. Let us agree to disagree on this.
2-3 decades from now I can see a much closer
relationship between Muslim countries like Turkey,
BD and Indonesia, both economically and militarily. They need Navies powerful enough to stand up to all bar USN and PLAAN in
order to have a strong independent foreign policy.
It is not just a case of standing up to IN.

P-17 A frigate will also come in (succesor to Shivalik)....in the frigate/destroyer overlap area....it will be lot more lethal than Shivalik and 7 of them are incoming. Add to that 4 Vizag class destroyers (kolkata class succesor). More than enough to compensate for Rajput class decommissioning.

Not to mention the integrated C4I network (including dedicated space sats) along with weaponised MPA like P-8 that BD simply will never get in foreseeable future. And tin boat riverine swamp ppl think 6 easily dealt with targets will be any deterrence lol. They dont dare to get into a small shooting war with Myanmar, but the country that is reason for their existence in the first place is the "adversary". This is called Delta syndrome

Do you know the incoming Chinese Type-054B frigate is as powerful as the most advanced IN destroyers?
