Any replacement for Bangladesh A-5 jets?

[guest11]

Ya the next step would be to go for Baloon... You inidans... LOL

Definitely, India along with many other nations are using balloons for surveillance. Hey, since you guys have a super or rather hyper budget of 1.2 billion dollars, why not go for F-35. It is an excellent platform and you will be able to bomb India to stone age with it.

Procurement of new aircraft for BD airforce seems not in the card, at least for now. There were reports of purchasing a few squadrons of jf-17 and then of j-10. Airforce officers were also sent to China to check out the ptechnical aspects of these planes. Even another squadron of mig-29 was also talked about.

But, the GoB may have other priorities. It is giving more emphasise on procuring surface to air missile defence systems. It is now also upgrading all the T-59 tanks to T-90/96. BD has wuite a few hundred T-59 tanks. These upgraded tanks will be fitted with 1200 hp engines. It has also ordered 44 units of new T-2000 tanks.

GoB is also continuously purchasing or building naval ships, big and small. But, it still is not after a purchase of planes. GoB thinks it unwise to spend 20 or 30 million dollars on each plane when its ground defence system lacks strength. Without a defence on the ground, the enemy planes can easily destroy them. So, it is purchasing SAMs with the necessary radar system, instead. Enough SAMs can protect whatever military assets BD has on the ground.

Therefore, the 1st priority has been set at procuring SAM missile systems with radars that can spot enemy planes in the sky and instruct the ground to fire multiple missiles. The 2nd is purchasing and upgrading tanks. 3rd is the purchase of surface ships. 4th is the procurement of planes for the airforce, and 5th is the purchase of submarines.

By observing the purchsing records of the last few years I do not think BD will go fast with any purchase of planes.

I think BD should dismantle all fighter jets from their air force .. there will be no war & instead invest that money in infrastructure

No, it is the opposite. BD should become a reasonably strong country in military to avoid wars. But, we cannot neglect economy to build a strong military. No economic strength, no military strength. Economy comes first in the present age.

Use J17 only and only if you can get them for free, do not pay money to buy jf17's, if you have to pay money get the f16's or the gripen ..far better value for money.

F-15SE (Silent Eagle). Sweeet.

The Boeing F-15SE Silent Eagle is a proposed upgrade of the F-15E by Boeing using stealth features, such as internal weapons carriage and radar-absorbent material.

http://www.flightglobal.com/article...-f-15-silent-eagle-with-fifth-generation.html

Would cost around $100 million each. It is aimed at international customers like Israel, Saudi Arabia, Singapore Japan and South Korea, all F-15E users.

Maybe I am just dreaming XD

Improving air-defense seems like a better alternative to procuring new and expensive aircraft. No such thing as a tank known as T-2000. Maybe he was refering to the MBT-2000 (AKA Al-Khalid) (?). It is a Chinese/Pakistani tank and it is a very good tank.

The Type-59 tanks we have now are beyond ancient.

Bangladesh better put their precious resources in buying helicopters (Transport and Attack) and transport aircrafts which may come in handy during the natural disasters that strikes Bangladesh every other year. Also invest in a good SAM defense system. Egypt had shown the world in 1971 that an aggressive army can fight even without a credible airforce.
