No, this has nothing to do with that. WMS was already in poor state. Probably has something to do with that. Original designer was different though.

Istanbul class frigate, Hisar's range and MIDLAS. 8-cell vls should be enough for us.

 

[Afif]

At least 16 VLS for a frigate, 8 VLS sound like a Corvette.

 

[Bürküt]

Although I do not expect Hisar-D RF to be quadpacked at the early stage, is Midlas an exportable product at this stage?

 

[uçuyorum]

I'd say when siper missiles are ready, it would make sense to put 8 siper and 8 hisar, and when the ship as well as midlas matures in a few years, especially countries with smaller budgets or difficulty buying western radar and missiles could go for an I class, although Italy doesn't seem to be too shy with their equipment.

@Anmdt

Have explained before and is tired so we are repeating it, SIPER will be quadpacked...

 

[Afif]

I mean, I am pretty sure we are not buying Frigates without medium range air defence system onboard.

Depends on when we ACTUALLY start building/buying the ships.

Nope, Bhumibol and Naresuan class FFG has only 8 VLS each, and that's 3000+ tons ships

A military experience guy looks like he doesn't have the least idea about Bangladesh, let alone the military. I hope you at least give some thought before commenting on something, or if you have any disagreement, you can say it

Again, please provide the source.

First of all why do you sound like robot?

1. BN didn't release any RFI/P yet. It's focused on OPV project and upgrading CDDL.
2. The configuration you gave is similar to destroyer not frigate
3. Each as per your configuration will cost at least $1 billion so $6 billion for 6 ships.
4. There's no way we have that much funding nor govt have that kinda interest to spend $3-4 or $6 billion. They might spend max $400 mil per ship.
5. If BN's lucky the ship will have 32 vls and 16 AShM otherwise expect 16/8 VLS and 8 AShM.
6. BN will only purchase MR-SAM
7. If you're news is true then we would see it in the media and countries would come with offer which isn't not happening.
8. How's Vard Marine's LCT contract with BN relevent here?
9. Most importantly, share credible source/link for this type of news/claim.

We're dealing with hoax/fake news for 10 years. Last time someone spread fake news about Ada class corvette with 32 vls.

The first two frigates could be inducted into the Bangladesh Navy by 2026 if operations continue, and work on six frigates must be completed before 2030, "according to the Bangladesh government." Try to think or collect the information of what a modern frigate could look like in 2028 to 30.For $3b budget ....but $4.2b enough for BD Navy Requirements...Unit cost of 31e type frigate???Also there have so many things I can't explain you...

If you think Vard Maritime Inc. is irrelevant here, I have nothing more to say...but this place is not suitable for me

You are making extra-ordinary claims but every time refusing to provide any source? interesting.
