Agreed. But i did see in BDMillitary picture of an army personnel with an UAV. It was small, but they do mention its an UAV. Dont know much about it.
In Spite of choppers being important, our stock of F-7B can take up close air support role along with being used as interceptors.
What choppers would you suggest anyway?
Cheers!!!
^^ i will be a Grandfather with 3 working kids when Leo "might" come up for discussion in BD Army...
Cheers!!!
Singapore's Leo tanks.
Why do you worry about weight??
Look at this heavy leo beat lighter T-72. Its fine for your terrain.
What do BD think about leopards?
BD can afford to spend billions of dollars on fighter aircraft, ships and attack helicopters right now. The issue is that the country has around 30% of the population that still do not have enough to eat each and every day. In the absence of an immediate military threat they have decided to focus money on poverty allevation rather than a massive arms shopping spree. Big ticket items like submarines, frigates, fighters and attack helicopters will come but we will just have to wait a bit longer.
If your airspace is wide open, then those attack helis will be a walking duck in front of MKI.. You can even take them down with shouldier fired missiles. Even RPGs are effectibve.
We seriously need some Egles in the sky not some ducks..
Just my 2 cents.

BD needs advanced attack helis to cope with smugglers, drug dealers , illegal border entry , patrolling , search and rescue ops . But why would it need a dedicated air superiority fighter close to MKI's ...like Migs 29's /35's etc ?
Which enemy does it face who is transgressing into BD air space , conducting raids etc ?
Well govt already in shopping spree as the economy is doing great and some extra penny could be spared. You will see those goodies sooner than later.
Achieving a secured airspace is a first priority in warfare but, that wasn't what I was talking about. Not into an arms race with India or anything.
Its not easy to shoot down a moving air target with an RPG, almost impossible, unless they are up close. There were cases that Soviet MI-24s survive stinger missile hits, or even use counter measures during the war in Afghanistan. They counted 563 launches and 89 hits with 18 aircraft totaled. And Stinger was NOT radar guided. This can similarly apply to other shoulder-fired SAMs.
Explain how the Apaches took out so many Iraqi tanks during the Gulf War? Even the Syrian helicopter gunships were effective against Israeli tanks during the Arab Israeli wars. Explain? Those Indian MI-35s are pretty decent for UN peacekeeping, and an important component. Explain?

Agreed
taking out 89 out of 563, you think a low number? Let alone with stringer? NO they are heat seaking missiles not radar guided.
Sure. Because of the fire power of the allied forces. There were nothinhg against those hellis.
Attack hellis against smugglers and pirates???? something new to me. Mosha marte Kaman daga ar ki.. LOL
