What's new

$1 bl Defense deal with Russia Includes:

BTR-82A deal is separate deal which has been made last year, BTR-80 is part of $1 billion deal.

@animelive , BTR-82A is more advanced than BTR-80, BTR-82A has night vision capability, 128 units of BTR-82A has been ordered.

It doesn't matter, does it have rear door..that's the main concern! @animelive likes to know that 1st :cheesy: .

SAM system is normally used for 30 to 40 years, 20 years from now all will have 5th gen fighters.

"All" will have 5th generation fighters? I think that is a bit of a crude generalization :lol:

A 4th generation plane can have a service life of 30 years.

Fifth gen planes is an extremely expensive and a complex matter. Not everyone can afford, or handle, or willing to buy them in large very numbers. Not even rich Western nations. And not even in 20 years.

FYI, the entire program behind the F-35 had been running for almost 20 years. And it is still having problems. The J-31 for instance had been around for barely a year. So imagine the challenges for the Chinese.

4th generation planes will be around for quite some time.

US has long been suffering with one fifth gen fighter F-35 that no nations can afford:

Well Bro, I just want that, my country to have some advanced Fighter ACs. If you think this is bad then...................

I want Gripen NG for its low operate-maintain costs. I never over scored it.

We want many, many things. I myself want some F-15K's :omghaha:

$1 B will not get you all those fancy toys. $1 bil will probably cover the 24 trainers and that's it. $1 bil is not a lot in weapons purchases especially with Russian financing.

24 trainers' total cost will be around $480 million. $1B is loan with 4% interest and who knows Bangladesh might add some more cash from own fund in the purchase apart from the loan, the total expenditure may be $1B loan+ own fund.
 
we will get some bridges and some armored vehicles, thats about it.
 
What about sylhet man?

We should buy better fighters then MIG-29s.

Then what about Jessore!! No, Jessore is the academy and in sylhet we do not have a established air base. besides Dhaka & Bogra can jointly cover sylhet. But yes, It would be nice having an air base in Sylhet.

The better fighters costs more.. You can get Mig-29SMT/M for $30ml but the better would not cost you any less than $45ml..
