Chief just jabbed @bluesky at 15:47 minutes.
Anyway i remember how some people laughed and mocked us for talking about aircraft production. Even yesterday some dumb foreigners tried to act like pundit about our MRCA program. I hope they all notice these developments.
It's not like we will do it overnight but this is a step towards the goal which began with MRO of PT-6 and Bell-212.
Response to the above quotation. People should know the meaning of ToT. ToT means the Transfer of Technology. The news says the German company will set up one or two repair workshops but people here are shouting JOY BANGLA, BD will get ToT and will build German planes. How silly and ignorant our people are in BD!!!
Please improve your English comprehension ability, guy, and read the news again!!! What Serniabat says to please small guys like you is no concern but the content of the news is. The news never said, Bd will start producing jet planes, missiles and rockets soon.
My my.........Faridpuira tried to sound tough and cool but somehow ended up sounding dumb. Well, it's my fault for dragging this guy into this discussion. Faridpuira should improve his own comprehension ability and check the meaning of ToT before lecturing others about it.
First of all nobody talked about building German planes and i wasn't talking about "Bd will start producing jet planes, missiles and rockets soon" either. Perhaps the two links i shared gave the Faridpuira wrong idea.
ToT doesn't only mean that one will build the whole aircraft locally. "Often it occurs by concerted effort to share
skills, knowledge, technologies, manufacturing methods, samples, and
facilities among the participants." So it doesn't have to be the whole system. The composite material (fuselage and wings) and propeller repairing workshop fall into that bold part. Our people will work in those
facilities which will help them to gain
skills and
knowledge for future basic trainer and UAV/UCAV.
Also people should take care of their own silliness and ignorance first before calling others silly and ignorant. Every now and then saying dumb things like "Bd does not have even a factory to assemble gasoline cars" or failing to find local manufacturers of pump machine for irrigation when there are multiple well-known companies are available is the reason why people troll the some guy as hentai lover. I wonder how did the Faridpuira determine that ToT is 200 years old.
It's really cute to see that some people think that they are contributing to Bangladesh by criticizing the govt in a foreign forum when the govt doesn't give a single damn about "small guys like you".

Why the hell bd needs to build fighter jets ?! Our requirement is low I repeat our requirement is low, setting up a fighter aircraft manufacturing plant is a waste of money. All we need for our air force is a mro plant , may be produce some spares. That's it.
How many fighter squadrons do you think baf will keep ? Given our war doctrine and size of our airspace 4-5 squadron of proper fighter is enough. Let's say 2 squadron of twin engine mrca and 2-3 squadron of single engine jets. You wont need a production line for that. What you need is a MRO plant where you can maintain these jets and you can produce some spare parts so that you can keep the fleet running.
Of course!! "Why the hell bd needs to build fighter jets?!" We don't need to learn anything from Pakistan, Iran or Turkey. Lets leave the fate of our backbone of the air force's fleet to Russia, China and USA and let them rip us off. Lets kiss their *** forever and ever and ever. Let
@Destranator and
@mb444 bash air force until their death for every MRCA dilemma.
FYI ⤵ Does this look low to you?
It is too bad that a country with a population of 164 million should be happy when it buys such a simple aircraft.
Two reasons to be happy here:-
1. Securing the deal at cheaper price with two workshops and simulator. This is the first time BAF made this kinda deal. Usually we got MRO for F-7, PT-6, Bell-212 , Mi-17/171sh and ejection seat lot later after signing the deal.
2. Chief and PM's statement that from now on we won't buy anything unless we get something in return. "A trade-off, counter balance" according to chief. So expecting at least MRO with any furure deal and large order for MMRCA like the basic trainer. As
@F-6 enthusiast said we may not get anything from MRCA deal but MMRCA has a chance.
just look the users of this tinny baby and come back to me how many of them buy western fighters?
Is Indonesia and Jordan enough for you? Not counting USA, UK, Sweden, Argentina and Bangladesh here. Almost all the operators has western fighters in their fleet.

What point are you trying to make?
Probably trying to say that BD can't/won't be able to buy western fighter because we bought this trainer. Typical behavior.
If i remember correctly. Chinese offered BAF the opurtunity to produce F7 BGI inhouse. But BAF rejected it.
No you don'remember correctly. China didn't offer this.
What was stupid and deserving of every bit of mockery was the talk by BAF of designing our own primary trainer. Dumbest idea ever. The market is saturated on the supply side with so many different suppliers. Makes no sense to design our own when we need less than hundred units of primary trainers.
Did i or anyone say that? I don't remember anyone said that.
