Sure, but there are variety of opinions regarding it.
BN basically has a defensive doctrine and protecting the maritime boundary from smuggling, piracy probably tops the list of priority. Someone correct me if i am wrong. Thanks.
Cheers!!!
Precisely why I am asking for a BN doctorine.
Does anyone have it?
Almost everyone is aware of North Korea's military. It is also well known that they emphasize on quantity rather then quality. They have everything large in number...but look at their age old Mig-21s that they still operate and paint-ed up T-62 shown in their parade as a new tank. However, fact remains that they are not that unknown to military analysts.
This thread is not about NK.
But since it has come, let me assure you NK has new tanks (Pokpung-HO) and old tanks are always painted for the parades nothing wrong about it.
As far as subs are concerned NK has 22 Ming Class subs procured from China and they operate 4 Whiskey Class (Soviet) subs.
So please rethink about your claim of quantity over quality as BN has more than 80% chinese stuff.
If NK was so cheap in quality Iran wouldn't have purchased some 150 Chonma-ho tanks from them.
You should also check the NK shipbuilding industry and compare it with Bangladesh.
So please dont tell me that BD is poor hence BD doesn't have stuff. Its all about management. for e.g BD made a big mess of MiG-29 deal (corruption) which lead to cancellation of further orders.

one needs to be a fool to compare Bangladesh with a rogue nation like North Korea..
and Vietnam went through war against military super powers ..... still faces threat from china. .. ... .
Your personal attacks wont help.
I was discussing on the point that
Bangladesh is a poor country.. But she has an impressive navy if you consider her economical condition and relatively smaller maritime boundary.
If poor country and impressive navy equation has to be tested then poorer country like NK (compared to BD) has an impressive navy compared to BD.
Now since this fact cant be digested you are twisting logic by calling them rouge and all. Like I have mentioned they have got a pretty good shipbuilding industry for that matter in comparison to BD.
