Bangladesh Air Force

Buying Migs are stupid proposition.

There is no doubt that Moscow and UAC have the developing world in mind, and to their credit, the prospect of an AESA radar-equipped multi-role medium-weight fighter for USD $50 million or so per unit with the logistics and maintenance package is attractive. In fact, the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) are apparently committing to replace their ageing MiG-29s with the MiG-35, giving the platform a domestic anchor base to build scale and help with affordability.

In his statement for the event, President Vladimir Putin noted that officials from more than 30 countries were present at the MiG-35’s launch. Besides the leading candidates, such as India or the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) clients, officials from states with emergent forces, such as Bangladesh and Peru, were also present at the MiG-35 launch event. A Bangladeshi official told Russian media that the MiG-35 was among the platforms the Bangladesh Air Force would evaluate as part of its modernization plans.

that the mig35 ovt / tvc 3d thrust vector engine originally was suppose to have that a old video

but i watched the latest mig35 video its still has smoke its less but you can see it in video

That's because of the weather. Fuel burns less efficiently in Russia's terrible winter.
But they are smokeless now. Have you seen eurofighter in NATO excercises in Poland. Even that planes fuels burnt with a yellow tint over there in winter.

True. I don't support it. But hey better this then f-7s again... xD
I know the production stopped.

F-7 is a great plane for 15 million dollar a piece. Bang for the money.
I will certainly take Mig-29 if they sell for 15 million for sure.

Well 15 million might be a bit of a stretch. Russian weapons including MiG-29's are no longer cheap. Modernized yes (with glass cockpits and possibly AESA radar) - but not cheap anymore.

I'd guess that BAF considers BVR missiles as a requirement now, then that means also BVR-capable radar (possibly AESA).

Even JF-17 Block 1 can carry SD-10 BVR missile.

@TopCat Mikoyan MiG-35 costs around 50 million a pop,but will even take down a F-35 or a JAS-39.No matter how much you hate the Fulcrum platform,this MiG-35 is a super reliable,cheap and moreover,effective bird.With mordernization,it has become a killer in aerial battlefield.
It got RD-33MK thrust vectoring engines,a uniquely designed NII PP OLS-UEM optical locator system ( OLS ) which relives it of ground control interception ( GCI ),Phazotron Zhuk-AE active electronically scanned array ( AESA ) radar which has a range of 160 km (86 nmi) for air targets and 300 km (160 nmi) for ships.
Guess what? This sexy bird boasts 9 hard points carrying a max 7000 KG of lethal air to air and air to ground weaponry.Its air to ground/ship inventory consists of : AS-17 Krypton ( 4 Kh-31A,Kh-31P ) and AS-14 ( 4 Kh-29T,Kh-29L )
Egypt got 50 of them with high presicion targeting pods at less than 2 billion USD,so why can't we buy it?

not worth it anymore... with the lower service life of the airframe... harder maintenance... and legacy avionics that our UB and SEs have... nah... 15 mil for a SMT or OVT makes sense!

You just insured that BAF will deffo buy the Migs than...

For the Govt and BAF higher up's, 'Stop-Gap' will never ever stop

A pilot's skill is what matters the most.

Uh oh...

Don't make sounds like that,dude -.-

No,we'll make things like Zumwalt class by the time they do it.

dare you to put pilots in flying coffins and say the same thing! our last accident... the pilot was not even found... >:/

As soon as Myanmar starts licence production of the JF-17 Thunders, Bangladesh can always approach India for the licence production of their LCA Flying Rickshaws. Alternatively, with a little increase in the defence budget Bangladesh can acquire the J-10 from China off the shelf or licence produced in Bangladesh..

Anyway, I don't think Bangladesh has anything to be worried about the Myanmarese acquisition of the Sino-Pak fighter.
