FFG 554 Anshan and FFG557 Jishou= Myanmar Navy

FFG535 Huangshi and FFG536 Wuhu = Bangladesh Navy

ottomat and cm-400akg have same range where otomat has mach speed 1.8 and cm-400akg has mach speed 5.5

Actually ottomats are used by many navies around the world including the French navy. Also its a sea-skimming missile which flies at an altitude of just 2m. I would say mach 1.8 is more than enough for a missile which flies that low. And also cm-400 is a very new weapon and ottomats have been around for years. So, I would put my bet on a time-tested weapon specially one with an european origin.

LOL... why would you say that? I think you are inviting that RazFreak guy for another fight. Please dont do it. And actually, no offense to Pakistan but cm-400akg doesn't even come close to ottomat's. So, I would be happy if you can't see what you want to see.

Cm-400 is better than ottomat PLUS we are inducting Babur cruise missile and Nasr cruise missiles on our submarines (nuclear as well) and frigates...

Good for you.
By the way, aren't the Babur and Nasr CM's vertically launched? Which Pakistani frigates has VLS? Never heard of any PN ship with that capability thats why I am asking.

Inducting babur on submarines? Has it been tested for canister launches?

The Bangladesh Navy began a shopping spree in recent years and finally things are coming in to fruition even with economic constraints.

Two ex-PLAN frigates Type 053H2 (Jianghu-III) guided missile frigates, the Huangshi (535) and Wuhu (536) from the East Sea Fleet will join the Bangladesh Navy later this year after what observers call a “heavy refit”.

The frigates were both built by Hudong and commissioned in December 1986 and December 1987 respectively.

Before the refit they were armed with 8 X C-802A SSM, 2 x Type 79A dual-100 mm guns, 4 x Type 76 dual-37 mm AA guns, 2 x 5-tube Type 81 ASW rocket launchers (30 rounds), 4 x Type 64 DC projectors, 2 x DC racks, 2 x Mk. 36 RBOC 6-barrel decoy rocket launchers.

MilitaryForces.Asia sources stated that the vessels would possibly be refitted with updated electronics and weapons.

Bangladesh Navy has recently adopted the H/PJ26 76 mm dual-purpose naval gun in its major surface combatants. The same model would be installed on the Huangshi and Wuhu considering their Type 79A dual-100 mm guns were removed along with antiquated air defence guns.

Their sistership Xiangtan joined the Bangladesh Navy in 1989 and still serves today renamed as BNS Osman (F 18). It was upgraded with 8 x C-802 SSM’s in recent years.

Highlighting Bangladesh Navy’s eagerness to acquire off the shelf solutions in recent times they acquired a US Coast Guard Hamilton class cutter, which is undergoing refit in California before setting off to Bangladesh for joining the fleet.

The Hamilton class cutter is to be converted to a guided missile frigate in Bangladesh by installation of 8 x C-802A SSM and a Chinese origin SAM system, possibly FL-3000N according to a *************** analyst.

Earlier the Bangladesh Navy negotiated with Italy for two improved Sauro class diesel-electric submarines and a number of frigates but it failed due to the steep asking price by the Italian government. Similarly an earlier negotiation with Montenegro also ended negatively due to unreasonable price and poor condition of the warships.

Bangladesh Navy officers confirmed to MilitaryForces.Asia that the new warships purchased from China and United States were in ‘good condition’.

The addition of three new frigates will provide the growing navy with increased patrolling capabilities in the Bay of Bengal as well as ensure they can bring enough fire power to naval confrontations with neighbouring countries.

Well, 76mm rapid dual purpose gun is better option for a defensive ship then 100mm gun.

For better ship defense, we should add gun-missile CIWS.

And about missile options we should try Chinese CM-400AKG hypersonic AShM. But, I think Ottomat MK-2 Block-4 is better. Correct me if I am wrong. :p

H/PJ26 dual purpose gun has stealthy design

I think it would have been way better if we had bought those Italian Sauro class subs with sub-surface launching capablility of ottomat mk2 block 4 AShM instead of the chinese ming class. That would have been something really worthy even if it costed a bit more. Ottomat AShM are the real badA$$ and we already operate them on our BNS BB/BNS Khalid-bin-Walid so we are already familiar with it. And its way better than c-802's, trust me.

Our military negotiated but failed for high procurement cost. You know, we always go for the cheapest option.

Well, Ottomat MK-2 Block-4 AShM is way better then C-802A AShM.

want to see CM-400AKG "Wrecker"

Yes, me too. Chinese says it is hypersonic AShM and AC Carrier Killer, then we should try it.

Is it a sea skimming anti ship missile?
