EXCLUSIVE >> Bangladesh Air Force ORDERED 8 Su-35 Fighter Jets From Russia

Bangladesh Air Force newly purchased 8 Russian Su-35 advanced multirole fighter jets. Previously BAF wanted to buy Su-30SME but later it choose better than that. Eight Fulcrum-F fighter aircrafts will boost Bangladesh’s air power in an unprecedented level.

Bangladesh Air Force ordered the Su-35ME variant, which came as a new derivative. The expected delivery date isn’t published yet. And Dhaka didn’t make any announcement yet, too. Hope, very soon both party will brief about this Su-35 dealings.

On the other side of the Moscow’s military diplomacy they sold six Su-30 to the myanmar air force. Russian news agency Tass reported that the deal has been signed during Russian defence minister Sregey Shoigu’s visit to the country. Bangladesh’s purchase of Su-35 may irk india. It is surely give an edge over the myanmar air power. But, indian air force may face serious challenge in the region due to advancement making by the Bangladesh Air Force.

Earlier we learned that a squadron of Chengdu J-10C are coming to BAF. Pilots are being trained in China, who will fly them. Usually Bangladesh Air Force counts 16 airframe units as one squadron. And, it was reported that Bangladesh bought as many as 16 J-10C which has been offered by the Beijing to Dhaka under $1 billion soft loan to buy Chinese military aircraft.

If Bangladesh buy Mig-35 then the house will be filled by the most advanced fighter aircrafts of the current world. Recently relations between Bangladesh and myanmar got severed over later’s genocide against Rohingya minorities. Dhaka strongly condemned burma’s military operation against Rohingya peoples which killed thousands of them and burmese troops torched almost all of the Rohingya villages in the rakhine state. And, almost 700 thousnds Rohingya peoples fled to Bangladesh to avoid this persecution.

Secretary General UN termed it as the “text book example of geocide” by the burmese military. During the military operation against Rohingya people burmese military helicopters violated Bangladeshi air space several times. Dhaka restrained from firing at those choppers and waited to see what international community do. But, pathetically world failed to punish burmese military junta.

Now, Bangladesh pursuing her own resolve to solve the issues with myanmar. If myanmar military failed to understand Bangladesh’s demands they must face a new military power than before they did. It’ll cost their national interests at large.

In that case 8 Su35 are not enough. BAF should have two squadrons worth of some high end fighter like Su35 as the tip of the spear. I assume more will be acquired in time. 8 squadrons of J10s and 2 squadrons of Su35 supported by AWACS would be nice.

8 is just the beginning.Main thing is to settle at first to some platform, which usually takes a lot of time.Then subsequent orders follow naturally.Consider the submarine deal of Bangladesh.We are talking to buy submarine since early 2000s.It only got materialized in the last year.Now within 1 year of procuring our first Subs, Navy is in discussion with China to acquire the next batch of Submarine.Same is going to happen with fighter jet.BAF is seriouly committed to procure 10 squadrons by 2030.We are getting large number of Yak-130 and K8 Trainers.One full functioning air base is already raised in Cox's bazar within the last few years, another two brand new airbase is in the process of formation.All these indicate that BAF is determined to fulfill it's goal.

1 Squadron of J-10C, 1 Squadron of Mig-35 (with transfer of technology and will be manufactured at Bangabandhu Avionics Center) and 8 Su-35 for now. 1 Squadron will be stationed at Dhaka and another one will be in Cox's Bazar.

Russia giving ToT with just 1 squadron order of Mig35...damn that's a really good deal.

Russia giving ToT with just 1 squadron order of Mig35...damn that's a really good deal.

Lets remain skeptical until this further materializes.

I am sure a fair amount of politics factor in to this apparent 3 pronged procurement roadmap.

So will you be trained by Indians like Malaysian?

No thanks!

Su35 is a very potent air superiority fighter jet. It's a good decision by BAF to acquire it. However in my opinion instead of going for Mig35 just get more of J10s. J10 is a multi role jet and the newest version is rolling out with Aesa and other advanced avionics. It's probably cheaper in terms of per fighter cost compared to Mig 35 and it will also be cheaper to operate in the long run. Not to mention it will be better to acquire two types of fighter jets as opposed to three different types since it will make maintenance/logistics simpler.

The strange thing is that cost of maintenance of two platforms will be very high and Russian weapons are maintenance intensive. It's Just doenst make sense. Some one is gettinghuge kickbacks

A question! Who is potential threat of BDAF???

It's true that Russian jets have a reputation of being maintenance intensive as compared to their western counterparts but the fact still remains that Su35 is a potent fighter. I just hope BAF doesn't go for Mig35 after already having selected J10s bcuz in my opinion such a choice would be a waste of money. J10 can accomplish everything that Mig35 can for a way lesser cost and therefore can be acquired in greater numbers as opposed to Mig35.
