Do we use RBS-70 MANPADS??

Heres some interesting infos

Tender for workshops

Looks fine from here but i got a confusion...

They are talking about workshop at BNS Ulka...now isnt BNS means a particular navy ship and not a place/location? Or are they planning to fit C-802 system on any of the ships. Even if thats the case...i never did hear of any of our ship named as 'Ulka'.


Cheers!!!
 
That's an anti-ship missile. We were talking about a shor-range SAM, but I don't know about that.

found a quote in this thread http://www.defence.pk/forums/military-forum/14111-bangladesh-building-missile-arsenal-2.html

Bangladesh ordinance factory does procure its own missiles through technology transfers such as the QW-2 MANPAD and it is likely to start production of C-802 through technology transfers as this anti-ship missile is very effective, being comparable to the US harpoon in performance but small enough to fit on small attack craft.

Bangladesh Navy already uses an older version of the Italian Otomat missile on its South Korean Ulsan class frigates but the Otomat MK2 block 4 is the most advanced Italian anti-ship missile and this is the one Bangladesh will procure according to the article.

As for the Turkish Aselsan Shorad missiles, it is a powerful short range air defense missile that will be used to protect army installations but in the future a long range SAM will definitely be needed.

Well BNS Ulka is a naval base, specifically for missiles related maintenance works.
Rather a comparatively smaller and newer then other bases.
 
Oh i just got ther name its qw-2 based sam we will produce and deployed to company level . and the c-802 is basically anti ship missile which we can get large number from china . prducing them locally might be costly as we will need very small number .

no air force is placing order for 16 f-7bg at a cost of 9800000 dollar per aircraft . i just wondering what the logic o getting this 3rd generation fighter we could place order for jf-17 to supliment our current fleet alomg with j-10 for air supiority fighter

Govt to purchase 16 fighters for $93.6 million
23 February 2006
Daily Star & Staff Correspondent

The government will purchase 16 fighter aircraft from China for $93.6 million, Water Resources Minister Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, in charge of the defence ministry in the parliamentary affairs, informed the Jatiya Sangsad yesterday.

"An agreement was signed in the FY 2004-05 for purchasing the fighter planes from China," Hafiz Uddin said replying to a question of Jatiya Party lawmaker GM Quader. "Each plane will cost $5.85 million," he said.

Hafiz Uddin said purchase of fighter aircraft for the air force is a continuous process. The minister, however, did not elaborate the purchasing process.

The lawmaker concerned did not have scope to raise any supplementary question on the topic as the question-answer session was not held yesterday. The written questions and their replies were distributed.

The previous Awami League (AL) government purchased eight Mig-29 fighter planes from Russia at $123.98 million that raised widespread controversy.

Major (retd) Aktharuzzaman, lawmaker of the then main opposition BNP and also a member of the parliamentary standing committee on defence ministry, had instituted a suit in the High Court against the purchase.

The allegations made were: The aircraft were old and hence there had been a misuse of public funds, an advance payment had been made in violation of the terms of the agreement and the purchase process lacked transparency.

Following the suit, the High Court issued a rule nisi on the government and asked it to explain why the purchase agreement should not be declared illegal. Later, it decided that the parliamentary committee should not be prevented from examining the issue and the rule was vacated.

After coming to power, the present government filed corruption cases against the then prime minister, Sheikh Hasina and others, regarding the purchase of the planes.

It is believed that the fighter aircraft could be the latest variants of the F-7M the BAF operates already. The Bangladesh Air Force's primary combat aircraft is the F-7MB/MG, while it also operates an estimated 39 helicopters.

Govt procuring 16 Chinese F-7 jet fighters with $ 93.60m
Govinda Shil

To accomplish Forces Goal 2020, the Bangladesh government is procuring 16 Chinese F-7 jet fighters at a cost of US$ 93.60 million, said a reliable source.

The aircraft will land in Dhaka's military airfield flying from China via Myanmar, sometime next month. The fighter planes will be used for air defense purposes. They are equipped with airborne interception radars.
The features of the fighters could be compared with Russian made MIG 29, which is multi functional military aircraft and expensive.

Each of these fighters will cost US$ 5.85 million, according to an AFX (news agency) report.

Negotiation with the Chinese government had started nearly three years ago and continued until last year when a deal was finalised.

Bangladesh government will pay the amount, of which Tk 5.0 billion will come from Bangladesh Air Force budget. In a unique instance, Bangladesh Army and Bangladesh Navy are also contributing to this purchase, the source added.

Parliamentary standing committee on defense is currently reviewing the Forces Goal 2020, fist time designed in the history of the country's national security.

The Forces Goal assesses the strength of the country's enemy forces and advises appropriate measures. Bangladesh will continue to add strength to its air force by procuring more fighters. These F-7 jets are mostly defensive in nature and are able to carry four missiles each.

Bangladesh Air Force is comprised of six squadrons, of which four are defensive and two offensive, said the source. These squadrons require reshuffling, as they are equipped with old fighters such as MIG 21 and old-type F-7 and scanty arsenals, the source pointed out.

Some 20 pilots and 30 technicians are being trained in China to operate these aircraft. Out of these 16 jets, four would be used for training purposes, and, therefore, are equipped with two cockpits.

The source claimed that China was giving huge discounts for this purchase as a goodwill gesture. According to him, the actual market price of such a jet will not be less than US$ 10 million.

The fighters are featured with radar warning receivers, heat sensors and multi target acquisitions.
"We need more aircraft that can be used for air strikes," the source said adding the country also needs more surface-to-air missiles, considering its geopolitical location.

-As far as the F-7 is concerned, PRC stopped its production back in 2008 if I am not mistaken. Although, it is still a fairly capable aircraft. Almost as good as an F-16. Only big drawback is limited payload and range. The F-7 is a bargain - also known as the 'poor man's F-16'.

-As far as the J-10 is concerned, I don't think the PRC would sell it through the current government. Might have to wait for sometime until there is more transparency. That lack of transparency coupled with the risk of technology transfer to unwanted parties are partly the reasons why the US refused to sell us F-16s in the past. And if they really did ban us from acquiring US-made aircraft, BAF won't certainly be flying C-130s donated by the US due to excess in their inventory. The PRC will likely sell us the FC-1 though.

-As far as Myanmar is concerned, we need far more for our air force to deter them. Our army is fine, just lacking in air power. Myanmar apparently boasts the most advanced air-defense system in the region - apart from maybe India and China. And frankly, I don't think we have the leadership to do it as far as the present state of affairs go.
