SUBMARINE PURCHASE: Dhaka finalises deals with Beijing

[xuxu1457]

This is 035G subs, program begun in 1985, and the first unit with pennant number 356 was lunched in 1989, entering service in December 1990, and state certification received in 1993. This is the first Type 035 series to have anti-submarine (ASW) capability. The primary weaponry for Type 035G isYu-3 torpedo, and sonar DUUX-5 was used on later units, 12 of which were completed between 1990 to 1999. The last unit with pennant number 308 was lengthened by 2 meters to add a section for AIP tests.

12 035G subs(2100tons) were buit from 1990 to 1999, infact not old, all Indian Kilo subs were bought from 1986 to 2000; and Tailand bought 6 retired 500tons(biult from 1968 to 1975) subs at cost 220million $ in 2010.
Operation of subs is a system,India rent one nuke sub for 10 years at cost 650million$(means with 200million $ only play with the sub for 3years), and 200m includes systematic training for five years,
PLN used 035G playing with Japan 101 P-8 and US anti-sub system many years, while BD's potential enemies Burma(no any power on anti-subs) and India (anti-subs ability is very weak, even its first P-8 entered service at 2013, and only ordered 8 P-8 for whole Indian Sea).

And BD sea area is very busy then brings big ocean background noise, while the west part Bengal Bay water deep at 200m while east part at 700m, very suit for subs and hard to detect.

Guys Submarine is not a toy first of all The Ming Class submarine or even older submarines are still difficult to detect. Submarine overall is difficult to detect there are no best solutions for detecting Submarine only sonar which only detects if submarine makes lots of noise. The principle of submarine is the stealth. The only thing they can lack for today could be weaponry , endurance and underwater endurance (oxygen level). But "easily detected" is quite funny to say when it comes to submarine. They are never easy to detect. Even Mafia's have few submarine out of which rarely 1 was captured after it surfaced for unknown reasons.

So thumbs up for having Subs Bangladesh

Not that one, No. 361 sunk in 2003 for hypoxia, included 13 sub submarine trainees,wrong procedure： didn't open pneumatic valve before battery charging time, inner oxygen transition consumption and to 0 in 2 minutes, Submarine intact and not junk but soldiers hypoxic death;

I'm not going into its purchase procedure, about which everyone can have justifiable doubt....

a submarine is a submarine, whether its old junk or a brand new state-of-the-art thingy.... and thats why the Indian Navy publicly expressed their concern.... why do we have to think that there's always a state-of-the-art ASW ship patrolling the exact place in the ocean where a BN sub is going to operate?...... an ASW platform with the best passive sonars can't detect a sub beyond around 100km in the best of conditions.... hull-mounted sonars do not have the best of ranges.... active sonars have even more limited range..... an ASW aircraft can't continue to deploy sonobouys in peacetime.... and without sonobouys, the best airborne ASW platform can't tell where a submarine is if its under water.... only on the surface can an aircraft detect a sub through finding its snorkel using a surface-search radar or optical/IR receiver...

one thing's for sure..... if the BN subs leave the port, our neighbours would become very worried until they can detect and predict their whereabouts.... and imagine how many ASW units would be required to find a single sub....

If you actually read the article you'd see that the author says that the panic is about Chinese presence in the BoB!

My comment was not related to the OP but some B'deshi posters whom I quoted .
