Not much is available at the moment. But gov. approved procurement of various types of equipment for Air force & Navy.

1. 2 more Type 56 B corvette, reportedly construction already started in China.

2. Two ASW helicopters for navy.Can be either AW 159 or China Z 9. Tender was floated, result still to be published.

3. Medium multirole fighters for BAF. Can be Mig 29M/35 or J 10 A/B. A delegation reportedly was in China to talk with AVIC. Details are unclear at the moment.

No, it seems BN will purchase two (039) Song class submarines from China. Note the information below:

"Export potential[edit]

• 
  Royal Thai Navy - China offered the 039 submarine for sale to Thailand in 2007. However, the Royal Thai Navy lacks the infrastructure to support submarines, and no sales are pending at this time.[2]

• 
  Bangladesh Navy - Bangladesh Navy is considering to order 2-4 Kilo or Song class submarines after 2017-2018 to strengthen their submarine force,which already operates Ming class submarines".

instead of just buying i would rather see BD do something similiar to what PN is doing order 4 advance subs. buy 2 off the shelf and make 2 more in BD. so in the future BD can make her own subs .

I think bd aleadyh has the know how to produce frigates ?

for smaller economies like bd , if they could produce inhouse submarines, anti tank weapons sams and manpads and cruise missles ie for land to land and for sea to land attack then ya bd will have serious "deterrence"

For smaller economies, it more feasible just to buy off shelf rather than just produce in house. First,additional fee is required for ToT. so as the tools and factories to setup to manufacture. Plus the training for technician for manufacturing.

Japan AH-64 ToT from Boeing makes JMSDF Apache the world most expensive attack helo at USD 100million a piece with only 34 produced and stop production as the exorbitant high cost prevent the original 64 procured.

Yes, I know it. But, we have no other sources right now. However, there are positive indications that the BN will induct two more subs in a short time, but the type remains classified. Our newspapers say, a total of 8 subs will be inducted within the year 2030.

They also do not mention the types. However, I believe these will be from the Chinese source. I also understand, if it is Chinese, the next subs will be a class higher than Ming. So, I guess these may be either Song or a class above, and certainly not Ming any more.

What would be the best displacement class for our coastal SSKs? If Ming evaluation is a success, then I think it would be very good if BD could get more modified Ming with TOT with improved sensors to be built locally, for a Cheap Price rather than just buying more expensive ones, as history shows "Wars Never Happen In Isolation. There is Always a Side to Choose and Pack to Form."
What do you guys think?

Is that Possible if Bangladesh Navy would buy Yuan Class AIP Subs from China in the Future?

Maybe but definitely not within 5 years time. BD has no budget for more modern sub and these sub are aiming at Myanmar rather than IN. Myanmar navy has no single submarine. It will gives BD an edge for them in many coming years.

But these will all changes if Myanmar buys submarine. They have one of the fastest growing economy and may have the money to buy sub.

 

[帅的一匹]

For me, I love BD more than Myanmar. I thought Myanmar is not worth of trusted in the long term.
