Bangladesh air force received 9 K-8w aircraft

I will venture an answer although you may not like it. And this is sort of off topic so excuse my answer.

Looking at the twenty year old LCA program - they simply did not get the support from their govt. If India can do chandrayan & mangalyan they couldn't put together a small jet the size of the Yak 130 or develop the engine for it? This was a three year affair for the Russians and Italians.

The point is in the subcontinent money and power (they beget each other) will always trump idealism and national interest. If some politicians decide they want to buy Rafales (the BOFORS case of the late two thousands) and divvy up the percentage then that's what will happen without fail. All relevant mouths to call for the LCA will be made 'khamosh' with money. And people like us will be left to our devices, coming to Pak Defence and bitchin' about it.

That's why we will always be the 'bitch' for Western countries and their 'dalals' we elect. They know this better than we do - they ruled us for two hundred plus years.

Unless people in our countries get smarter and more aware. And stop electing corrupt politicians like we always do. But I always have hope. Hope will bring change - someday.

bhai thoda kadwa tha answer but i kinda like it. but believe me i see no hope for some politicians of our expectations in near future . not in banglades india or pakistan

upto you to dig it out.
the actual plan is 8 squadrons of air superiority aircrafts, 1 squadron multirole and 1 squadron for dedicated maritime striking

probably it was posted by @DESERT FIGHTER

Can you specify which aircraft they will get for air superiority squadron, multirole squadron and maritime squadron? And how many aircraft in each squadron?

Haha. Myanmar will always have air superiority over BD as a matter of policy. I'm just trying to let you down easy for when you have to start making excuses as to why it didn't happen. The Indians are going to laugh their asses off.

With the induction of whole bunch of second hand Mig 29 and later decision of JF-17 you are nailed. You are pretty much stuck there for the next 1.5 decades while BD is inducting latest 4.5++ generation fighters and trainer. You cant keep parity with much bigger economy and much better human being. Your Junta did buy some steels but was unable to operate them.

"Regardless, Myanmar’s purchase of the J-17 would be a huge boon for China and Pakistan. Both countries have tried to market the jet for export but have thus far failed to receive any customers. Pakistan pledged in 2013 to begin exporting the jet in 2014. As The Diplomat reported last year, “The Pakistan Air Force has been assigned [a] target of exporting 5 to 7 JF-17 Thunder planes next year and discussions in this regard are under way with Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Qatar and other friendly countries.”"


Burma to Purchase Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Fighter Jets | The Diplomat


Mymmar is playing the numbers game here. It has already shown clear superiority in naval and land forces, npow its only a matter of time till bangladesh is overrun my vast numbers of JF-17

Burma already operates 4 times the size of k8 trainers with close to 30 more on order.

possibility:
air superiority: Mig35
multirole: su30mki version
maritime: su30mk2

according to BD, squadron= 16 aircrafts

no superiority in naval and land forces, air force yes but that will be gone too.

you can not keep superiority with bigger sized economy without hurting your economic development

You boys do this every year. Every year you say how you are going to be buying this and that and every year it turns out to be a F-7. You will never have superiority. Get over it. Idiot Bangladeshi.

Because we are not ruled by Junta and we make decision based on our threat perception.
We know even our trainer Yak-130 can take on burmese... and they will run away holding their tail between their legs...

Brother Alaungphaya - if it makes you happy, then have the superiority. Us inferior Bangladeshis have other priorities, like feeding our people. We don't wish for pointless military rivalries and war with anyone.

You are probably not aware that Bangladesh used to be Buddhist in religion and culture for a long time, until the 14th or 15th centuries. The largest Buddhist Viharas (universities) were in our country from where the cultures traveled to your country and to Sri Lanka. Our cultures are not that different. Dhammapada is still ingrained in our daily life.

Which is alarming if i were a BDeshi.....anyhow.
The policy of soft credit will go a long way in ensuring burma maintains its edge over bd.

be logical ....
if burma wants keep its edge over bd then it will have to maintain 4-5% defence budget of GDP, it will harm its economy.

Give you example:
check Sri lanka's economy and its military size and compare it with burma.
just forget about Bangladesh.

how can they take on us..? then our decision makers also has his perception depending on threat.. dude.. no one will spend such money without any advantage.. the diffrence is MM do sillently his work while BD speak out loudly but wont happen anything in reality.. that's what my brother @aloungphaya said...

 

[UKBengali]

Once BD has those 10 squadrons ready, than it is time to retake Arakan.

so you think Bangladesh is going to acquire 80-120 4+ gen aircraft in the next 10 years do you?

170 billion dollar economy predicted to double so
plenty of money for it.
