Often we see statements of BAF going for Su-30, MiG-29, Gripen, F-16 or J-10. But it pains me to see my brothers going down the wrong path. All these fighters have some fundamental disadvantages as far as BAF is concerned. The only fighter which is a perfect fit for Bangladesh is the JF-17.
Disadvantages of Su-30
1# Very large twin engine plane.
2# Maintenance intensive and heavy operational cost.
3# Russia is India's close friend and may stop spare arts if there is war with India.
4# India already has this and Russia may give less advanced versions than the Su-30MKI
Disadvantages of Mig-29
1# Large twin engine plane.
2# Maintenance intensive and heavy operational cost.
3# Russia is India's close friend and may stop spare arts if there is war with India.
4# India already has this and Russia may give less advanced versions than the Mig-29K/UPG
Disadvantages of Gripen
1# Very nosy country which will ask Bangladesh to make Gay right legal a they have demanded before.
2# Very costly initial fly away cost.
3# America's pet and may stop spare parts supply.
4# It has american engine.
5# Its weapons are mainly American. And america wont give you latest Aim-120D and Aim-9x like they didnt give us.
Disadvantages of F-16
1# it is an american plane, the number 1 country which likes to sanction countries if they dont do as it says.
2# Very costly initial fly away cost.
3# May stop spare parts supply due to sanctions.
4# Its weapons are mainly American. And america wont give you latest Aim-120D and Aim-9x like they didnt give us.
Disadvantages of J-10
1# Very costly initial fly away cost.
2# Requires more maintenance than JF-17.
3# Operating cost if higher than JF-17.
Advantages of JF-17
1# Very low cost. Less than 20 million dollar export.
2# Very easy maintanance and less operational cost.
3# Politically safe and no threat of sanctions.
If Bangadesh is not happy about past history, they can even opt for the Chinese FC-1 name which is fully manufactured in China. Right this moment, an Indian Aircraft Carrier which has the capability of carrying potent airwing which is more than a match than the whole of Bangladesh Air force put together is sailing towards us. All you have are just 6 Mig-29b unupgraded fulcrums(other 2 are trainers which dont have radar) with only R-27 semi-active bvr missiles taking off from fixed airfields whose location is known to all - along with a few SAMS, versus an arsenal of the latest, almost 20 Mig-29K armed with the latest R-77 version RVV-MD very long range active radar guided bvr missiles and Kh anti radiation missiles whose ranges far exceeds your SAM ranges!, and Kh series Air-ground long range cruise missiles. I wish people can think rationally and choose the FC-1/JF-17 so that we can put up an UNITED FRONT against Indian hegemony. Are my brothers listening? :-(
Bangladesh paindabad!
