Good News. Its good to see a Muslim majority state develop indigenous defence equipment.
Thanks Bro. This is the start of a road that will take many decades in order to reach full
self-sufficiency.

Bangladesh can go and mingle with their parent country for all they want just don't come to us crying like you guys did the last time when things go South.
Always remember your fallen heros and the ideology for which they fought for and you will find India always standing right by your side.
Good choice for COGAG propulsion (whether 4 LM2500+ or 4 Ukrainian Gtu's)I would like to hear more about indias current aircraft carrier from @Penguin and his thoughts on regards to what US military have to say about Indian AC
I was talking about frigates, corvettes and such. Bangladesh can't build aircraft carrier even in the near future. There is no need for such either.With all due respect to your view - the time isn't really ripe to go into building AC's for Bangladesh Navy. Only Thailand is an exception (their AC built in Spain is rather small and is known jokingly as the world's largest 'Royal yacht').
AC have to be justified by naval doctrine and AFAIK ours does not dictate one - yet. The Vikrant being built in India is only 40,000 tons, rather small by US standards (newer US AC's are all in the 100,000 ton class).
We could however start small by inducting LHA's or Helicopter carriers, which is where modern naval thinking for amphibious operations is going for parking a support ship offshore. The Japanese are big proponents of LHA's. Here is JDS Hyuga.
Here is the ENS Anwar El Sadat Heli-Carrier of the Egyptian Navy (French Mistral class),
The bottom door in the rear opens to allow amphibious tanks and LCTs to carry troops and reinforcements off shore while the top is a landing pad for Helis.

A country first need to build an aircraft before thinking of building a carrier for it. Only India could be an exception to it...
Can you name one?lol, funny. There are numerous countries which operated one without developing the an aircraft.
India does such things in scores. They do it only to lift their face in the international community. For India, many such things are just prestige projects.A country first need to build an aircraft before thinking of building a carrier for it. Only India could be an exception to it...
Fighters for carriers and fighters for grounds are designed a bit differently....A country first need to build an aircraft before thinking of building a carrier for it. Only India could be an exception to it...

Only countries which can make aircraft actually can field a ac in real war scenario. Others can only use that for show and supa pawa dream.
During the 1971 India-Pakistan conflict, the 18 aircraft White Tiger squadron embarked INS Vikrant on August 1971 and was ready for operations by November. Air strikes commenced on 4 December 1971 against targets in erstwhile East Pakistan. The first strike consisting of 8 Seahawks wrecked the facilities at Cox's Bazaar. In a mere 10 days, between 4 and 14 December, air strikes accounted for more than 100,776 tonnes of Pakistani shipping sunk and targets destroyed at Cox's Bazaar, Chittagong, Khulna, Chalna, Mongla, Do Harisal, Barisal, Chiringa and Bakarganj including airfields, shipping, AA positions, oil fields, ammunition dumps, harbours and troop positions. When the conflict ended, INAS 300 had not suffered a single loss. The squadron won one Maha Vir Chakra, five Vir Chakras, one Nao sena medal and four Mentions in Despatches.
