I dont like BAL but if they can command a majority in a free and fair election then no one will complain or have an issue with them ruling as long as they can retain support. Autocracy is being embedded by BAL and it can not continue. At the same time what are the alternatives? Army no...

You make interesting points. From my perspective I do not think military getting involved is a good idea, they tend to make things worse. Transition of power is a must. BAL will seek to oppose and delay the reckoning that is coming their way. This transition must be a peaceful one and if...

IN is a large country with a federal system. Democracy of sorts have survived there because without it the country would break apart. Also they were gifted the British institutions and maintained economic links/systems without much upheaval that was not the case for PK/BD. The british...

Join..... its a no brainer.... after that take assess and implement projects if it makes sense.

I would support an unity govt under Dr Younus, however although I have often ranted against BAL and said the military must take over.... but i would pause here in all seriousness. I am a democrat and as such can not support a military takeover. Is BAL anti-democratic, absolutely however they...

I agree with this. I do not see why BD government need to underwrite Biman and continue to maintain it as a public concern. It continuously makes a loss when it should be a cash cow. Make it private, float with 25% sell off with government share of 75% reducing over time with completely new...

Let the international airlines in without worrying about dollar outflow. It will pull up standards of homegrown airlines who will always have a cost advantage. BDs will always prefer home grown airlines if their services are on par with International carriers. More carriers means more travel...

Covid and ukraine war together have had a major impact and will continue to do so. BD economy has not collapsed, its foreign reserve has gone down and had not fallen to dangerous level. Economy is still growing. Naysayers and doomongers with short vision continue to be proved wrong and I...

Dude its not then a maiden test flight. What does it really prove to get a shell of an jet up in air. For KFX which is a modular jet where they are going to source parts for everywhere such a thing would be a maiden flight. Turkey do not have history of developing engines. They have hooked...

TFX has ambition.... but it is far from reality....they do not even have a prototype that has made a maiden flight. It really is not something we should be talking about other than seeking to become a member of a consortium. In service operational TFX is minimum 15 years away.

Block chain has real life application....crypto is just a ponzi scheme....

I dont have any issues with what comes first J10 or EFT. But I suspect BAF will pursue high of the high/low mix because it is the weakest of the armed services and commands little respect. There is a real possibility that after the next order there wont be another for a long time. J10 would...

No one is denigrating chinese tech, but BD can only afford a few expensive jets. They have to have proven quality. It is simply not feasible for BAF to choose a chinese platform as its premier jet. It is simply a matter of risk. BD needs something proven to go up against raffle.... in my...

My position is the same as yours. Just get EFT/J10 combo and also try to join TFX/KFX/JFT consortium and be part of the builders club if possible.

J-10 lacks combat history and china is its only operator without that much track record of developing fighter jets. China most potent fighter jet remains Russian to date. It would have been silly for us to jump in headfirst for a platform of unknown quality. You are making the mistake here...

The south korea/indonesian jet is a modular jet of western origin. There is nothing indeginious in it off note. If you are worried about the west this and the turkish option should be off the table as both are western jets. So J10 or russians are the only options. J10 potentially is a good...

Tf-x wont be ready for service until 2030..export possibility 10 years later perhaps. its a pipe dream for now for BAF. Korean fighter jet wont be operational until 2026.... export possibility probably mid 2030's.... as with the TFX for us just totally unrealistic proposition... When it comes...

That would be the combination i would prefer all things considered. But chance of completely western jets should not be scoffed at. It will mollify US. We must buy EFT as part of the high-low mix. UK is the only country BD can deal with knowing India wont have complete sway. BD diaspora...

He is right.... BAF just needs to go against its instinct and buy 2 sqd of EFT with meteor and aquire the first semblance of offensive capacity. Next step 2 sqd of F16 or 3 sqd of J10 and for a decade the skies are secure-ish..... this would be a quantum leap for BAF.... currently we have no...

Management is terrible. It needs and root and branch overhaul.
