BD layered air defence concept map

[Philip the Arab]

I made a crude map of a air defense network over BD consisting of long range SAM, medium range SAM, short range SAM, and very short range SAM. BD already has FM-90 and MANPADS but doesn't have FD-2000, or Sky Dragon 50. I want your input for any ideas, and yes, I know I didn't cover all of Bangladesh but I was just hurrying up and not spending a long time on this map.

Big circle is is FD-2000 long range SAM(HQ-9 export variant)

First revealed in the 8th Zhuhai Airshow, the export version of HQ-9, providing extra anti-stealth capability by incorporating YLC-20 passive radar sensor as an option. FD-2000 made its name by once securing Turkish surface-to-air missile contract, later cancelled due to political reasons. FD-2000's reaction time from radar contact to missile engagement is around 12–15 seconds. It covers an area of 49000 square kilometres. FD-2000 was on exhibition in Zhuhai Airshow 2014. Range against aircraft is 125 km.

Smaller circle is Sky Dragon 50 medium range SAM

The Sky Dragon 50 also called GAS2 is a Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Defense missile system designed and manufactured by the Chinese Defense Company NORINCO (China North Industries Corporation). The Sky Dragon was unveiled for the first time during the AAD Defense Exhibition of South Africa in September 2014. The Sky Dragon 50 is the latest generation of air defence missile system developed by Norinco which has a maximum firing range of 50 km. According the Chinese military magazine Kanwa, the Chinese Defense Company NORINCO has exported its new medium-range surface-to-air defense missile system to Rwanda. This country is the first foreign customer for the Sky Dragon 50.

Smaller circle than that is FM-90 short range SAM

The HQ-7B is the latest version, based on an indigenous 6x6 armored chassis. It was first revealed somewhere in 2009. This air defense system is widely used by the Chinese armed forces. It is also being proposed for export customers as the FM-90. This air defense system has been exported to Pakistan. A TELAR vehicle carries four missiles and is fitted with engagement radar. It appears that engagement radar is similar to that of the previous HQ-7A. The missile is 3 m long and weight 84.5 kg. It has a solid fuel rocket motor. It gives the missile a maximum speed of 900 m/s and a range of 15 km. It can engage helicopters, aircraft, cruise missiles, air-to-ground missiles and anti-radiation missiles at a range of up to 15 km. Minimum range of fire is 700 m. Maximum altitude is 6 000 m. Missile has a 15 kg High-Explosive Fragmentation (HE-FRAG) warhead with contact and proximity fuses. It is claimed that a hit probability with a single shot is more than 85%

Smallest circle is FN-16 with 6km range...

​

FN-6 or Feinu-6 (Chinese: 飞弩-6; pinyin: Fēi Nú-6; literally: 'Flying Crossbow-6') is a third generation passive infrared homing (IR) man portable air defence system (MANPADS). It was developed by China, and is their most advanced surface-to-air missile offered in the international market. Specially designed to engage low flying targets, it has a range of 6 km and a maximum altitude of 3.8 km. The FN-6 is in service with the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and has also been exported to Malaysia, Cambodia, Sudan and Peru. Based on FN-6, China has developed a number of other MANPADS, such as HN and FY series, as well as other vehicle-based short-range air defense systems such as FN and FB series.

Chittagong is left without air cover?? They have no threat from Nagaland but Myanmar.

Lol, I saw that and was thinking of adding another 125km range FD-2000. Thinks that's a good idea?

Can an FD-2000 missile like this detect and hit low-flying planes over the Seas?

I assume so, but that role could be relegated to naval SAMs if BD navy was to purchase Type 052D with HQ-9. After all, naval SAMs and missiles were built to intercept sea skimming missiles at similar altitudes and with much smaller RCS.

I think the OP purposefully left the most important geographical vulnerability in BD unguarded- their own chicken's neck comprising of the narrow Comilla-Feni tract leading to Chittagong sharing an extensive border with our NE states Tripura and Mizoram. Taking CHT and Chittagong will be a matter of hours for us and no air defense would help them if they incur our wrath.

Nonsensical post as usual.

Can coastal defence batteries intercept sea skimming or low rcs land attack cruise missiles?

It's a crude map dumbass. I'm not a air defense expert whatsoever and asked other members for input.

If their radars are built for that specific mission of course. Either that or buy ships and use them for coastal defense with HQ-9s.

IMO, we should go for Turkish SAM systems post-2025.They're building a SAM family from low range to the likes of Siper with 120 KM range.

If you think so, but integration with Chinese and non Turkish systems will be harder. China offers SAMs today that are short range, medium range, and long range right now. So instead of having to waiting 6 years or more you can have them within a year or two. And who says Turkish systems are better than Chinese systems? China has a lot more money to dish out on R&D and a lot more experience than Turkey on pretty much everything.

China can't be trusted in case of conflict with Myanmar.
We can integrate them with a national data link, no?

China can be trusted as in the long run BD is much better for China economically wise and for checking India. Myanmar can never fulfill this role because of its small population, and low economic growth and GDP.

Why do you think China allies with Pakistan? Its for the same reason, and besides, BD has already bought some SAMs from China (FM-90 15KM, and FN-16)

Data link will be much harder with systems from different nations compared to one nation integrating all of their products together.

Myanmar is geopolitically important for China.Money isn't much of a factor in this issue.

Aww, seemed to have hurt your fragile ego! A cursory look at Bangladesh's map would have helped anyone with normal intelligence to understand the choke points, but we have a special nutcase here..

Nonsensical post as usual.

Yeah, right!!

Your ability to draw a straight line is impressive.

The rest of your posts not so much.
