It would be called BNS bongobodhu 2,3,4,5,6................

It would be called BNS bongobodhu 2,3,4,5,6................

Bangladesh China complete technology (TOT) with type-054 heavy free gate offer. Bangladesh Navy considering this matter will be watching it.

Forces Goal 2030, 8 like the free gate plan to make the country has been taken. Of Chittagong "Chittagong Ḍrā'iḍaka Ltd." this war ship will be made.

Apart from China-Bangladesh joint "high performance free gate" and making words can be.

Held in Malaysia in Lima 2017 Bangladesh China this offer.

Type-054 a heavy free gate. Of Power Astradhāraṇa for "Light it" Ḍēsṭraẏāra. It is called the complete stealth ṭirōla free gate.

If deal it is then till 2030 in Chittagong This 6 T FREE gate will be made. The rest of the two why from China.

@Horus @Arsalan

If what I posted above is true than that would be massive induction and India would be really pissed

Ahh Google translate.

Ahh Google translate.

I know translation is bad but what about the report is that true

Well all the Bangladeshi defence forums are talking about it. Chittagong dry dock was transferred to the Navy a few years back for this purpose. The dock can easily handle two 054A High Performance frigate builds side by side.

Navy ships slightly larger than the Azmat class (650 ton Durjoy class stealth corvettes P812 and 813) were bought and commissioned - then two more ASW variants built locally already (BNS Durgam P814, BNS Nishan P815), and four more builds under the pipeline at another yard (not Chittagong).

Civilian builds (8500 ton plus) are very common at dozens of local private yards. So building a 4000 ton heavy frigate should not be a stretch. What may be a challenge is weapons integration like VLS, naval warfare suites. testing etc.

And I believe we are getting ToT for new version of 054A, not 054 class. The superstructure is different and has stealth features.

That is the "high performance frigate" right there in the image.

Regardless of the intense naval build activity of late, none of these builds will be for offensive purposes, these will be part of a purely defensive force and a credible deterrent.

BD Navy have been venturing this prospect for a while now. Plus, SHW has announced it during the submarine induction that the frigate program is up and running and will officially begin very soon.

So yes, it is true. Thanks for the report!

That is serious induction and getting these Frigates would mean that you are clearly sending the message to India.I really hope you get some changes in Type 54 A which you buy mainly get that VLS system in that which can fire long range cruise missiles.

Yes, pretty sure that will be under the radar as China would be our development partner in the program.. and there is nothing that the Chinese cant do!

China's CSOC showcases a new 4,000-tonne frigate

Chinese state-owned shipbuilder China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Company (CSOC) revealed technical specifications of a new frigate design it is showcasing at the LIMA 2017 exhibition in Langkawi.

In an interview with Jane's, a CSOC engineer disclosed that the "new ship is a derivative of the Jiangkai II class of frigates, but features a renewed superstructure".

According to specifications confirmed by the company, the vessel is slightly larger than the Jiangkai II, featuring an overall length of 135 m, a beam of 16 m, a draught of 4.4 m, and a displacement of around 3,850 tonne.

The platform is powered by four sets of 16PA6STC engines in a CODAD configuration, driving two propeller shafts for a top speed of up to 26 kt. It has an endurance of 21 days, and standard range of 4,000 nautical miles at cruising speed of 18 kt.

Where the innovation stands, however, is in the armament suite and sensors. Weapons aboard comprise a single-barrel 76 mm main naval guns, topped up by two six-barrel Type 730A 30 mm guns for short-range self defence.

"Unlike in other versions [of frigates displayed by CSOC at defence shows], the two 30 mm guns are no longer mounted on the main bridge, but rather amid-ship, closer to the [24-cells] surface-to-air missile [SAM] launcher."

The ship's foredeck still hosts a 32-cell vertical launching system (VLS) firing the HHQ-16 (40 km of range), and there are two quadruple launchers of the C-802 surface-to-surface missile (SSM) mounted amid-ship.

Commenting on the sensors, the engineer added that "the above-water sensor suite will include a phased-array radar mounted in an integrated mast. The ship will also mount an over the horizon [OTH] radar comparable to the [active/passive] SLR66".

The frigate's anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities will be provided by a hull-mounted sonar and torpedo tubes.
