You sold an old Kilo. Submarine is a strategic weapons platform. So, by selling a Kilo to Myanmar India wanted to put Bangladesh into a precarious position.

Not sold. Gifted.

A year earlier, India delivered a Kilo Class submarine to Myanmar Navy at an undisclosed price.

I am confused now. Was the Kilo gifted or sold at a nominal price?🤔

Per WION. it was sold at an undisclosed sum.

But as is common in India, propaganda will change now.

I guess thinking about this is waste of time. Doesn't matter.

Indian navy operates 6-7 Kilos which they are planning to phase out in near future. If the Indian navy sell these Kilos to Myanmar navy at a nominal price, Bangladesh navy will be doomed. Our two upgraded Ming class won't be able to protect our EEZ from these Kilos.
