BAF has ordered K-8 aircraft

[razgriz19]

Surprised to hear Bangladesh going for K-8s under the Premiership of Mohtarama Shaikh Hasina. Is this from Pakistan or China?

Part of the fuselage (front) is still made in Pakistan along with several other components.
They get sent over to china for Final assembly

We need to replace all our fighters with these trainers as soon as possible. With cheap trainers we can afford lots of kamikaze!

K8 can ne easily converted to Light attack aircraft as well. Depending on the need of the customers. Attack variants have been sold to some african countries

Yak-130 indeed can be used as light attack fighter, but I'm not sure if they have finished the test. However, export can be loose and random, fitted with something immature, so it is better for BD to do some serious works to evaluate it.

 

[Avisheik]

Its about time, our only jet trainers currently are cessena t-37, which are getting quite old. An addition of a squadron of new trainers is certainly welcome in BAF.

Now you are half way to JF-17s.

Man we are getting quite good at selling our weapons we sold weapons to Iraq too although they ended up in hands of ISIS but now we can present JF-17 Block II to BAF as a good Fighter Jets to fulfill their needs
