no offense but idunes was a d**k.... ultra conservative c**t...
Some suspected him to be Bihari (which of-course he so predictably denied). I never understood him. I suspect he's schizophrenic.
whom are you talking about before that? pakistan days?....
Asad71.
hmmm.... so far people who have made my blood boil is that
mullah pic profile... dont remember the name...
Al-Zakir? Saiful Islam?
I don't agree with a lot of what Zakir bhai has to say. But he is at least honest and we respect each other's opinions. And that is very important. Something that idune never quite understood. He was a very divisive member here.

Before I came here way back in 2011, this forum was dominated by conservatives. They tended to be very pro-Pakistan, even in light to the 71' War. Some views were upsetting or even shocking to me. My views are very left. But I did learn quite a bit. That's when I started dominating slowly. As time went by, this forum slowly grew with a more diverse range of Bangladeshis. Also, the politics of Bangladesh did not go in their favor. Hence, the silence.
The mistake that the conservatives made in my view was that they antagonized many Bangladeshis way too deep. And that along with a divisive member like idune. That way, they lost any popular support. And the dumbest of them all, they went directly against India. It doesn't work that way. You gotta play smart with them (especially when they are 30 times bigger than you).
I think Bangladeshis regardless of left or right can stand united.
1.It has been found impossible to refurbish the six u/s. Not even Russia is willing. Ukraine is busy otherwise. Because of nonavailability of spares, nations like Malaysia and Burma want to dispose this of. The only option is Bandhu India. They have the facility. And e shall fall further into their poisonous lap should there be a conflict with Burma.
What is a u/s? Why wouldn't MiG Corporation be willing to cooperate even in light of their terrible after sales service and QC issues? Spares should always come from them no matter how bad they are delivering them on time. And from where did you get the information that Burma want to dispose of its Fulcrums? And as I've said before, Malaysia had already retired them.
As far as manufacture of spares go, even India suffers problems with them. But there had been discussions between India and Russia regarding the manufacture of some spares and components in India.
"Servicing of MiG-29K and Kamov helicopters" is a severe problem due to lack of spares," an Indian Navy official said.
Suggesting ways to improve the supply of spares, an IAF official said: "Long-term supply agreements and long-term repair agreements with (Russian) original equipment manufacturers is the solution."

Sources told Sputnik that delegation level talks are scheduled in March to sign the contract for improving spare parts availability including manufacturing some of them in India. Meanwhile, a significant improvement has witnessed in the availability of Sukhoi-30 fighter aircraft in last two years. "Sukhoi availability which had slipped to 46 per cent today is now above 63 per cent," Parrikar said.

I don't know if this is BS, but I'll give it a go.

Unbelievable that these things are on the Internet.
I admit, all that took was a simple Google search with the sole purpose of verifying that piece of information you had provided.
Just explain one thing here: If the Indians themselves struggle with spares for the own Russian birds, how on earth would they be able to supply another country's? India is far from an industrialized country as of now. So, based on the data gathered (the latest), that piece of information you provided makes no sense. That kind of capability is only possible for an industrialized country. Or at least, deep knowledge of aircraft and engine technology.
I'm saying these even though I personally prefer Western jets.
2. PAF has been careful to have similar inventory as their true friends. It is otherwise with BAF.
I do not see how that is relevant to the BAF.
But I'll add something here for others to see. During the Kargil Conflict, the U.S. (not surprisingly) did impose sanctions on Pakistan, and that included their F-16's. And yet, they managed to keep them running long enough to keep the Indians at bay.
