BN to get 2 Submarines: PM

[eastwatch]

Why? Just stating the facts. Are you considering 2 Ohio class submarines for a budget of $100 million USD? Neither will Chinese sell their Song class SSKs to Bangladesh.

The GoB has not yet declared the type of submarines and their source, although all of us assume it is from China. BN has just started to plan a submarine base probably in Mognama near Cox's Bazaar and Sonadia. It will take at least three years to acquire land, do survey, do design works with the technical help from selling country's navy, and build and operate the base. Many things will change and a rising BD economy can then afford a submarine better than even Song class. So, wait for a few years only.

What models you have in mind?

Bangladesh can't afford Scorpene with price of $600 million per unit, neither can U-214 with cost $400 million, Kilo class production lines has been stopped after the delivery of final Vietnamese orders. You guys have to see at your budget before putting your eyes on other offerings. In the immortal words of Eminem, "Don't touch what you can't grab."

Do you have any other submarine in mind?

Neither will China give you Song class submarine, because of it's sonar signature being tracked by Indian Navy. Neither is Bangladesh that strategically important for China as the ordinary Bangladeshis thought themselves to be.

Best of luck with that.

And from where did you conclude that?

The Indian Ministry of Defence, under pressure from the Indian Navy and facing an ultimatum from the French government, agreed to buy the six Scorpene submarines for $4.6 billion - $1.4 billion more than the price tag negotiated in 2002. The increased cost was blamed on the prolonged negotiations that invalidated the $3.2 billion price tag agreed in 2002.

Project 75 / Scorpene

A 2 billion-euro submarine deal between Turkey and Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems to manufacture six U-214 platforms entered into effect Friday.

Great, but why do you think Bangladesh cannot afford them? what factors did you take into consideration?GDP? why should be buy Gallardo before learning how to drive?

50% of entire budget on a sub? Who's the genius drafting your military policies?

You buy Gallardo only after you secure your financial and social securities, not the other way around. With a GDP per capita of around $800, you are a long way away from that point.

Sir, Please tell us the importance of BD to China??

I am completely ignorant about it.

Thanks in Advance.

Our budget for military is still really low, if we increase it by 1% then voila...submarines

Its the bond of friendship, you got me emotional now

Again, 25% of entire military budget on a single submarine? Again, who's the genius?

Why not? we will be a little tight on the budget that year but that should be all.

What is the use of India's big military budget when the generals and politicians eat up half the military purchase money and deprive the poors in the street in the process? Do not worry about BN. It will buy whatever its strategists think it should. BN is right now trying to select the venue for the submarines. What is the problem if the subs are Ming or Song because ours is a defensive force, although I prefer Song. Anyway, the way the GoB is withholding the submarine purchase information, I suspect it is Song. GoB does not want to alert its neighbours prematuredly, perhaps.

And you're totally neglecting the maintenance cost of the platform. If such was the case, then India would have bought 100 Rafales, 5 scorpenes and 2 Vikramadityas every year.
