You mean, new sensors and weapons would magically appear on these ships overnight?

You expect those corvettes to be battle ready just after the possible war starts? It would slowly get armed and reinforce the fleet after some time...and it will be long enough for them to put some proper teeth on them...

North got mig 29s. But that's not he point. You simply can't buy anything nor sell em anything.

I know,but they are one of the states which would not last long,their coffers are dwindling and they are poorly equipped...Buying stuff from Iran is a thousand times better and we should try to co-operate with them...

Now why we would waste our money on tech from Iran. Better stick to current suppliers.

chines type 21 missile boat localy modify.

Ah the OSA class boat and the Chinese clones....:-)

A relic of the seventies...but still relevant somehow.

What are the missiles on the side? Probably C-801's.

These boats used three clones (per boat) of the Zvezda M503 which was a 7 bank, 42 cylinder diesel radial engine built in the 1970s by the Soviet Union, for this sole application. Amazing technology for the time....and gave the OSA class (Type 21 Houdong class) some serious 'get up and go power' for the size....

The Chinese clones actually increased the efficiency of the engine so that the range of the boat is more than doubled without significant proportional increase of fuel consumption.

However endurance is still limited because of the size of the boat and the limited provisions carried.

BNS Durdharsha.
Powered by three 4,000 hp diesel engines that drive three propellers, Durdharsha has a maximum speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). She has a range of 800 nautical miles (1,500 km; 920 mi) at 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph).

The ship's armament consists of four C-704 Anti-ship missiles and two AK-230 twin 30 mm guns, mounted on the bow and stern. She is equipped with one Type 352 Radar (Square Tie radar) for surface search.

Durdharsha was commissioned into the Bangladesh Navy on 10 November 1988. She was severely damaged in the cyclone of April 1991. After extensive repairs she returned to active service. In 2010, the ship was upgraded with modern C-704 replacing old SY-1 missiles as mid-life upgradation

this superstructure at the stern of the ship, in the cantilevered position on the sea, is to what I'm thinking, like I have also seen them installed on naval units of Sri Lanka navy

You are absolutely correct on your thoughts....They are restrooms.

These boats are crowded and if you need to add a loo, well....

Problem is - when the AK630 is blazing away - then I guess you can't go.....:-)

Just wanted to tell that Penguin is the Navy specialist here in this forum.. He knows more than anyone else. Gotta think twice before disagreeing with him.
