BAF to hold international air show next year

The Bangladesh Air Force will hold an international aerospace technology and equipment exhibition in Cox’s Bazar next year as part of the force’s golden jubilee celebrations.

Bangladesh Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Masihuzzaman Serniabat on Monday said that they would organise the aerospace show just like Paris Air Show and Changi International Airshow in Singapore.

Masihuzzaman Serniabat also said that BAF had been trying to acquire the technological advancement so that no ‘aggressive force’ could dictate Bangladesh.

The BAF chief said these while addressing a programme at BAF Shaheen Hall in Dhaka where the countdown to the the force’s 50th founding anniversary celebrations began.

He also said that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Aviation and Aerospace University had already set up and it would be shifted to Lalmonirhat soon.

The air force and aerospace technology-based industrial units will work in the university to develop the country’s technology.
Liberation War affairs minister AKM Mozammel Haque was the chief guest at the programme where two commemorative stamps on the occasion of the founding anniversary of the air force were released.

BAF started its journey at Dimapur in India on September 28, 1971 as ‘Kilo Flight’ with one Otter aircraft, one Dakota aircraft and one Allouette helicopter with a total of 57 members, including Bengali pilots, technicians of the then Pakistan Air Force and the aviators of Pakistan International Airlines.

Kilo Flight played a vital role in accelerating victory over the Pakistani occupation forces in 1971 by conducting 50 air operations during liberation war.

Can anybody elaborate on why aviation and aerospace university is being set-up in Lalmonirhat and no other place? This place is far north and near to the Indian chicken neck corridor. That place is proximate to the Indian air bases in Chicken neck corridor. Aircraft manufacturing plant also will be set-up there. Govt. have a big plan to turn Lalmonirhat into our main hub of aviation and aerospace industry. What is the rational to set-up our vital defence infrastructure in that particular place?

So no update about MRCA, no credible air power but Bangladesh Abal Force will organize air show?!

Are you fucking kidding me?!

I thought it was another BS and laughed when Defseca said it. Didn't even bother to look for credibility.

I've had enough of their BS.

I've done defending this crappy military wing .

More reason for some Bangladeshi PDF members to bash these clowns!! Pathetic!!

Should invite BAF's global counterparts such as FedEx, UPS, DHL, R&R Aviation, Square Aviation, Uber, Pathao, etc..

Very timely initiative as Covid has made the world rethink air cargo and short-haul helicopter rental services.

I would be happy to see if the country establishes plants to manufacture railway locomotives and coaches somewhere instead of trying to do something that has little importance for a poor country like Bangladesh. The so-called project will certainly stop at wasting money on constructing a few buildings in Lalmonirhat.

A country starts from the low and old technology field and progresses with building next phases. Aviation industry, especially when it is under the govt has no future in the country. People think I am pessimistic, but I am not. I just cannot celebrate an un-needed and unachievable Hasina project.

There are million other basic things the govt should pursue with the money earned by our women workers working 12 hours in the sweatshops.

I think manufacturing plant for railway locomotives and coaches will come soon as manufacturing them in Bangladesh is becoming economically feasible with the expansion of our railway sector. Either govt. or foreign investment will do that. But aviation and aerospace industry is something we can not wait for other industrial sectors to mature. We have to start right now to get the result in the future. We have to start now even if it do not make any economic sense at present. Because it is related to our long term plan for our national defence and security.

Who wouldn't loose it after this announcement?! No news about MR-SAM, so much drama about for 16 fighter jets!! Just for ONE FUCKING SQUADRON!!!

Which air force consisting of 8 Mig-29s and useless F-7s holds airshow?? Ever heard such thing?! It's not like these idiots are buying 2-3 squadrons of fighter at same time so we have to tolerate all these BS. Instead of announcing to organize this air show, abal air force chief should've announced which will be our 4++ MRCA and when will they join.

This organization was a joke, BD Military/Defseca made it look like a clown and now this announcement has made it a complete circus. Arrogant army is partially responsible for this too. These fuckers jointly raped and ruined the thing called "MRCA"!! You can bet that after this announcement EVERYONE is laughing including those who were trying so hard to be patient. My situation is like these guys below after this news.
