Is BNS Bangabhandu 2nd hand?
Are the two Type-56 corvettes and the two others being built in China 2nd hand?
These 6 warships have air-defence many times better than in any Myanmar warship. Lol
at placing a modified Igla Manpad onto ships for air-defence.
BD will from next year will start producing 2 4000+ tonne stealth frigates with Chinese assistance. Total will
end up in the 12-16 unit range by 2030. Funny how a tiny nation like Myanmar is comparing itself to BD that has 3.5x larger GDP.
5 out of 6 frigates from your mighty navy are second hand.
The oldest 2 frigates were commissioned even before the creation of BD. (48 & 47 yrs old ships)
Even the youngest frigates, which was decommissioned and decommissioned again and again, was first commissioned 16 years ago.
2 out of 6 frigates have no anti ship missiles, no sonar, no ASW capabilities.
Downgraded Type 056 corvettes C 13 B have no sonar & no ASW capabilities.
Air defence? Yes MN frigates are weak in AD. But it is still ok with Igla S with optical tracking system coz BAF doesn't have any anti ship capabilities.
BTW do not forget that 5 out of 6 frigates from your mighty navy have no SAM at all.
2 out of 6 frigates don't even have AAA guns.
3 out of 6 frigates have no SAM.
Don't talk about ''BD will blah blah blah in future''. Just tired of it. Too much ''will''.
Be realistic.
3.5 larger GDP? Never forget that you also have 3.5 larger population. Population time bomb on the sinking land.
