Bangladesh Navy purchased four Type-053H3 frigates from China.
Two have been delivered while the remaining two are set to join the fleet by the end of next year.

These frigates would be equipped with 8 C-802A SSM in 2 x 4-cell box launchers.
C-802A specifications
Guidance: active radar seeker
Range: 180km
Warhead: 190kg
Weight: 802kg

They have a range of 190km compared to the 120km range of C-802 used myanmarnese navy counterparts.
Also the newer C-802A missile used by Bangladesh navy is a subsonic, low-altitide sea-skimmer, featuring way point planning, on-off-on radar operation and multiple target selection. Also it can be used against both maritime and ground targets. None of these features are present in the Myanmar navy C-802.

They are also armed with 8 cell FM-90N surface to air missiles. They have a detection range of 27km and engagement range of 15km. The missiles are capable of attacking three targets simultaneously by employing three different guidance modes and has anti-missile ability against ultra-low-altitude cruise missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and anti-radiation missiles at a distance of 17km.
The missiles are capable of cruising at speeds of up to 750m/s and have an operating range of 15,000m to all targets at an altitude of 15-6,000m, along with a 80% single-shot hit probability.
On the other hand, Myanmar Navy does not have a SAM system on any of their ships besides turret mounted igla manpads.

These four frigates are a massive boost to surface warfare capability of Bangladesh Navy as Myanmarnese have been aggressively gearing up their forces near Bangladeshi territory.
BNS Umar Farooq (F16) and BNS Abu Ubadiah (F19) have been delivered to Bangladesh Navy and will be comissioned in January 2020 and the remaining two will join the fleet by end of 2020.
