Is Bangladesh army is planning to acquire LY-60 air defence system?

Come back after learning standard written usage of English.

I don't waste time with people posting incoherent thoughts using broken English.

knowing the world first class language makes you such a noble person indeed.

If I was conversing in Mandarin, I would care to use it correctly.

Same thing.

Why try to communicate using broken and wrong language? One should care....

It seems I was wrong about specs of missile, according to GlobalSecurity.org page on LY-60 the missile apparently has a range of 18km and can reach 12km altitude thus allowing the system to take down high flying aircraft. This is a very, very good addition to Bangladesh air defense if true and will allow engagement of MAF trying to avoid FM-90.

"Compared with the HQ61 with a range of 12 kilometers and maximum altitude of 10 kilometers, the LY60 has a range of 18 kilometers and reaches a maximum altitude of 12 kilometers."

Nah, silly to buy this as BD needs to go for MRSAM.
HQ-16 ER can hit targets out to 70km and that would be the perfect complement to the existing FM-90 SHORAD.

Layered air defense is needed, China uses LY-60 with LY-80, and FM-90. BD will get LY-80 soon I hope.

BD can not afford so many types of SAMs. Defence budget is only 4.5 US billion dollars.
FM-90 and HQ -16ER will provide protection from 700m to 70km.
HQ-16 ER covers the engagement envelope of LY-60 and so LY-60 is superfluous.

Seems they need LY-60 for some reason, if they need it then they need it.

Each battery of HQ-16ER is likely to cost 80 million US dollars.
LY-60 is likely to be much cheaper.
MRSAM tender specifies a minimum range of 40km and so HQ-16ER is likely to get the contract if BD goes with China.

Maybe they want LY-60 for individual point defense, and LY-80* for area coverage which makes a lot of sense.

FM-90C can do point defence.

 

[Philip the Arab]

FM-90C can do point defence.

Yes it can, but Chinese doctrine also uses LY-60 for point defense. LY-60 is the equivalent of Kub, LY-80 is the equivalent to Buk, and FM-90 is the equivalent to SA-8 Gecko. All 3 systems have different roles, but layered together are very lethal.

BD does not have the money to afford this luxury.
FM-90 and HQ-16ER will more than suffice to thwart Myanmar and also be useful against India.

What is the reason BD is trying to acquire LY-60 then if I may ask? They must have seen some benefit received with it.

I do not think this is likely to happen.
It does not fit into BD planning.

Why would it be on the poster?
