Bangladesh Air Force

bangladesh asked for it long time ago, US government did not agree, said it is inappropriate for Bangladesh

I guess Bangladesh can't really rely on USA for defense imports. They have to look up to Russia for that.

Bdforever,
I do not believe any agreement regarding the YAKs were signed. I also do not see any indication that talks are continiuing. Can you shed some light. Do you have any info regarding the YAKs beyond what's available in the public domain?

BDForever,

Many newspaper indeed did confirm it at the time prior to Hasina going Moscow.

However please note to the best of my knowledge the discussion around yaks and migs failed as BD could not accept the high interest changes associated with the loan.

It is my understanding that Yaks have not been bought. This would be supported by the fact that mig deal had not gone through either. What would be the point of a trainer without fighters. Yaks and migs would have been purchased at the same time, however deal could not be struck.

In the public domain I have not seen anything post Moscow tour to say deal has been done . Have you seen anything since Hasina returned?

BAF should get an ex-squadron of F-16 from USA if its possible to boost their air defense capabilities.

Can any one tell if F-16s are BVR capable or not. As far as I know they are not BVR capable.

Whats BVR?

 

[BDforever]

Whats BVR?

BVR= Beyond Visual Range. The term beyond-visual-range missile (BVR) usually refers to an air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) that is capable of engaging at ranges of 20 nmi (37 km) or beyond.

Latest Blocks of F-16 are BVR capable. Even PAF had BVR capability for years now.
