Bangladeş'ten Denizaltı Hibesi Haberine Yalanlama

Bangladeş'ten, Pakistan'ın iki adet Hangor sınıf denizaltı hibesi ile ilgili habere yalanlama geldi. Bangladeş hükümet sözcüsü, Bangladeş'in Pakistan'dan denizaltı aldığına dair haberlerin asılsız olduğunu açıkladı. Haberin yalanlanış biçimi ve seçilen kelimeler bir miktar şüphe uyandırıyor, ancak şu an için konuyla daha net ve somut başka bir veri ya da beyanat bulunmamakta.

Dhaka, June 5 (DPA) The Bangladesh government categorically denied Monday a report that it had received two old submarines from the Pakistan Navy as gifts, an official spokesman said.

The spokesman, quoting a statement from the Bangladesh Navy, said no deal was struck between the two countries on the submarines during Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's official visit to Pakistan from February 12-14 this year.

The spokesman was commenting on a website report from New Delhi that Pakistan had agreed to refurbish and repaint two of its old submarines and present them as a gift to its erstwhile province.

The Pakistani gift would have given the fledgling Bangladesh Navy its first undersea capabilities.

Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan, seceded from Islamabad's rule through a bitter war in 1971 in which India also took part. Bangladesh and Pakistan, however, established diplomatic ties in 1974 and have built up regular economic and cultural relations between them.

Bangladeş'in Denizaltı Tedariği - Hint Kaynaklı Bir Haber

Daha önce 22 Mayıs tarihli bir habere göre Bangladeş'in denizaltı tedariğine karar verdiğini yazmıştım. Hindistan'ın DNA India haber portalında dün (02 Haziran) yer alan bir habere göre, Pakistan Bangladeş'e iki denizaltı hibe etmeye hazırlanıyor. Haberde kararın, Bangladeş Devlet Başkanı Begüm Halide Ziya'nın 12 - 14 Şubat 206 tarihleri arasındaki Pakistan ziyareti sırasında gündeme geldiği bildirilmiş.

Pakistan to gift old submarines to Bangladesh Navy

The Pakistan gift would provide the Bangladesh Navy its first underwater capabilties.

NEW DELHI: In a strategic decision that Indian policy planners are trying to comprehend, Pakistan has agreed to gift two of its old submarines to Bangladesh Navy.

Authoritative sources in the establishment told DNA that Pakistani authorities agreed to the gift when Bangladesh Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia visited Pakistan from February 12 to 14 earlier this year.

Pakistani authorities would refurbish and refit two of its old submarines for the Bangladesh Navy under the agreement.

The Pakistan gift would provide the Bangladesh Navy its first underwater capabilities. This raises several questions regarding Bangladesh’s strategic planning and forecast for the region.

As the information begin to trickle down to policy makers here, the new strength of Bangladeshi Navy is bewildering them. But they admit that they will have to ingrain Dhaka’s new strength into Indian strategic plans.

Sources said Pakistan would be refurbishing two of its Daphne class submarines, which are being decommissioned presently, and give it to Bangladesh Navy. Pakistan Navy had acquired four Daphne class submarined from France in 1969-70.

The Daphne class submarine PNS Hangor, which sunk Indian naval ship Khukri during 1971 war, was decommisioned on January 2, 2006 and is reportedly being converted into a museum ship.

Sources said the the two-submarine deal was the high point of Bangaldesh Prime Minister's visit to Pakistan. The deal was kept under wraps, but New Delhi now has authoritative information through its intelligence channels about Pakistan's strategic move.

Pakistan Navy has a small submarine arm and is presently in the process of inducting Agosta-90B submarines from France.

Sources watching Bangladesh are mystified by the move, given its small navy of just over 10,000 personnel. The Bangladesh Navy is limited mostly to coastal patrolling and is getting a modern frigate built in South Korea.

Indian efforts to woo the Bangladesh Navy, with a possible gift of a ship, has not gone too far. Indian Navy chief Admiral Arun Prakash had undertaken a visit to Bangladesh in December, and had made several offers including training for its personnel in Indian facilities and assistance on various other fronts.

Bangladeş'in Denizaltı ve Deniz Karakol Uçağı Tedariği

Bangladeş Donanması, etkin bir deniz gücü oluşturma gayretleri çerçevesinde denizaltı ve deniz karakol uçağı tedarik etmeye karar verdi. Haberde bahsedilen karakol uçağı Beech King Air B200. Kısa süre önce Malezya da envanterindeki iki adet B200 deniz gözetleme uçağını AMASCOS görev süiti ile modernize etmek için Thales ile 8.38 milyon dolarlık bir anlaşma imzalamıştı.

Bangladeş'in denizaltı ve deniz karakol uçağı alım programı, Hint alt kıtasındaki ve Hint Okyanusu'ndaki askeri dengelerin yanısıra, bölge güvenliği açısından da önem arz ediyor. Burma ve Hindistan ile olan kara suları anlaşmazlıklarının yanı sıra, Hint Okyanusu'nda son dönemde giderek artan korsan aktiviteleri, deniz ticaretini olumsuz yönde etkilemekte.

Denizaltı personelinin eğitimi ve denizaltının çok kısa bir sürede envantere gireceğinin açıklanmış olması, bu yöndeki çalışmaların uzun süredir devam etmekte olduğunu gösteriyor.

Bangladesh Navy to procure submarine, patrol aircraft

Monday May 22 2006 14:53:12 PM BDT

BMF Staff Correspondent, Dhaka

As per government decision to form a three-dimensional blue water navy through procuring surface, submarine and aircraft the Bangladesh Navy will procure four submarines and two maritime patrol aircraft (MPA’s) to protect Bangladesh’s maritime territory and resources at any cost.

The Bangladesh Navy will purchase a submarine and two maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) soon apart from other naval weapons systems to enhance the Navy’s capabilities.

Sources say the government could have been alarmed by recent illegal gas and oil exploration activities carried out by Indian and Myanmar inside Bangladesh’s sovereign maritime area. India started exploration on 18,000 sq km territory, while Myanmar carried out survey on a 17,000 sq km area.

Training for the submarine has already begun and Bangladeshi naval personnel have already been imparted with some necessary training and additional training will follow.

A single conventional diesel-electric powered submarine will be procured immediately soon. The submarines are designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW) and are also capable of general reconnaissance, water mine laying and patrol missions.

Also two American made maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) will be procured by the Bangladesh Navy at a cost of 130 crore taka. A Singapore based company called King Air is supplying these aircraft. The MPA’s feature a maximum cruising speed of of 315 kts, maximum range of 1,813 nautical miles, Four prop, twin Pratt & Whitney PT6A-60 engines, certified to land at its full 15,000-pound takeoff weight, 2,850-pound special mission payload, on-station endurance of seven hours, operational ceiling of 35,000 feet, takeoff length is 3,300 feet; landing distance of 2,692 feet under standard sea level conditions, drop and monitor sonobuoys, fully certified for grass and gravel field operations, special performance supplements for takeoff and landing operations above 10,000 feet MSL and ISA + 30o C outside air temperature, 360-degree search radar, long-range and tactical navigation, audio/interphone, maritime communications, HF communications, hand-held camera with data annotation, FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared), low-light TV, direction-finding systems, ESM system, data recording, observation window for visual search or photography and drop hatch for airdrops of survival/rescue equipment.

Sources said that the world considers MPA as the fastest and most reliable platform to monitor maritime territories. The operating cost of MPA’s is also significantly lower than naval patrol ships.

Bangladesh has 44,000 square miles of maritime area. A navy ship takes three days and three nights to monitor such a huge area. Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) can do this task in 2 to 3 hours, they mentioned.
