A sole international market for China's J-10 fighter jets is taking shape

[scionofPakwattan]

yes but take into consideration they split three ways and most of the time it's the ary and navy that gets a bulk of that share...
anyways i hope anything comes
i've heard that 5 squadrons are being planned now instead of 10
and replacing existing fleet while building up 5 squadrons in 10 years seems impossible task at current rate

BD should consider JF17..just saying.. put ur ego aside..

it's not about ego tbh... bd could literally ask china for it and the airframes would be made in pakistan... but the issue is our neighbor has them now.... apparently our airforce wants to get something that the other two doesn't have j 10c is a good idea imo along with another heavy platform

they do have it but you can get block 3 with a different weapons/electronic suite and have superiority over both the neighbors. J10 will cost atleast 160% more than jf17.

what's stopping the burmese to get the same? they literally emulate everything we do

 

[monitor]

with laughable military purchase budget that's seperate from the defence budget... i don't see them getting anything without loans or credits anytime soon

Our defence budget now 3.5 billion dollars which is enough to buy few squadron of J-10C .

BAF needs to stand against the indian and the monkeys.

Rohingya debacle has proved that China is not a reliable partner.

The monkeys have bought JF17 .....its source is china and from my perspective BD needs to progressively desengage with China in the defense arena.

BAF needs to go western....my prefrence go british. If not take a leap go US.

Nope it is 4 billion US dollars, excluding arms imports and so looking at 4.5-5 billion US dollars a year in total.

im not sure how Americans view this but to me it sounds like a good idea to bring Bangladesh into its fold against China

3.5 is just for the members not the purchase apparently.... purchase i was told is anywhere from 500 million to 1 billion a year

americans asked our foreign minister to buy arms from them instead but our foreign minister told him make it affordable xD

The foreign minister thinks he is buying tomatoes.

The foreign minister thinks he is buying tomatoes.

However, not tomato price but there should be a friendship price for a poor country with the same regional goals as those of America.

 

[Nilgiri]

with the same regional goals as those of America.

If you are serious, you will have to illustrate so with the economic cooperation you have with China right now...call it all off etc...then maybe the muricans will begin to make little room for you in some fora.

Otherwise your USP is just too marginal and LDC-like.....given Burma is not a security threat to the US.

Otherwise you simply share no such regional goals in the realpolitik.

 

[PakAlp]

Bangladesh needs to improve its defence. We live in a world where your security is never gruranteed. On top Bangladesh economy is expanding at a rapid pace so they definitely need to buy some equipment in order to defend their country.

J10c is the best option for Bangladesh. It's a very powerful jet. Yes China has engine issues but they will be sorted in the near future hopefully and you can always get an engine from Russia. 100 J10Cs should be enough till 2040s

Lastly Bangladesh is located at an important place. They need alliance and investment from China.

Pretty much this.

As sleepy as most people think Bangladesh’s place is in the world.

It actually is diplomatically in a very touchy place. (For itself, not for others)

There is no clear alignment with anyone, but yet has security concerns and limited interest from the greater powers.

Well we have to ensure that the fighter's IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) transponder is made/programmed by an entity that does not give the IFF signature to the Myanmarese as well. Ideally neither China nor Pakistan can be trusted. The allegiance/interest is too divided and leaning to the Myanmarese to be completely trusted.
