Bangladesh Air Force

[Indos]

Let us use the language of mathematics to try to get an answer to this.

BD economy is currently at around 300 billion US dollars with defence budget around 4 billion US dollars.
Taking the HSBC estimate(most likely to be higher in reality) of BD economy growing by an average of 7.1% between now and 2030, we come to a defence budget of 9.1 billion US dollars in today's money in 2030.

If BD was spending 9.1 US billion dollars today then it could afford to operate an airforce of 160 modern fighters, plus the special mission(AEW), transport and trainer aircraft.

In my opinion, BAF of 2030 will have 250 aircraft in total, with 160 fighter aircraft.

Indonesia defense budget is 8 billion USD but we only have 16 Su 27/30, 23 F 16 Block 52, 9-10 F 16 Block 15, 24 Hawk 200, 15 Supertucano, and 15 T-50 Golden Eagle.

Looking at countries like Pakistan with 9 billion dollar defence budget who have hundreds of fighter aircraft.

Ya, Indonesia start to have 8 billion USD is starting at 2013 if I am not mistaken, during 2000-2010 we only have 4 billion USD defense budget. I think Pakistan has already got 8-9 billion USD defense budget since early 2000 where Pakistan keep acquiring fighter until Today (JF 17).

But for 5 generation fighter induction, the amount of money being spent will be much larger. I think you need to have around 12 billion USD to have a descent amount of 5 generation fighters in your air force. In 2030, 4 generation fighter has already been so obsolete.

And you need to spend money on Stealth frigates, sub marines, tanks, and missile as well.

BD growth looks almost certain to be higher than the 7.1% that HSBC has forecast to 2030 - more like the 8-9% average mark so we can assume defence budget at least 10 billion US dollars in today's money by 2030 if the budget is the same percentage of GDP as today.

BD official plan for "Forces Goal 2030" is to have 10 fighter squadrons of 16 each and so if some extra money needs to be found then so be it - by then no big deal to allocate 1-2 extra US billions per year to defence from GDP of 7-800 billion US dollars.

BD has officially announced plan to build 6 next-gen 4000+ tonne frigates at home for the Navy and so makes no sense that the airforce will also not become as powerful as the Navy as well.

Good Luck with that.
Don't tell me that Bangladesh military has fixed their constipation of brain. The most inept organization in South and Southeast Asia. Bangladesh is also ruled by granny who is too afraid to make any decision. The Granny is the puppet of India.

Look at Rodrigo Duterte of Philippines, he ordered to produce a report on military modernization program. In the last six month, he authorized $5.46 billions to procure two squadrons of Gripen E/F, additional squadrons of FA-50.
This is the difference between ruled by balls and ruled by vagina.

During Gaghis khan era, military used be just a land force. Now military is about strong Air Force and strong Navy. Ground troops comes last but must be well trained and well equipped with Technology. Bangladesh is in ganghis khan era.

Back to point, Myanmar, Pakistan and India are also ruled by balls. So their Militaries are also strong enough to be called a military.

I have to agree with you somewhat here.

The worth mentioning fighter in Pakistan fleet is their 64 or so F16 and 64-128 JF 17, the rest is old Mirage and J7 fleet need to be replaced soon, by 2025 is actually will be dangerous to keep them flying as it will be much older than my father, the actual number worthy mentioned is not so much different from us.

BTW, alot of Pakistan defense budget is allocated toward their Nuclear weapons project especially for their safety, security and research development including maintenance units and deliver units. Major share allocated toward Army as their got thousands tanks fleets and hundred thousand troops along with thousands artillery units.

While in Indonesia we are still at growing phase as we don't have many asset to begin with, much fund directed toward Navy and Airforce expansion (50% of procurement funds) .

Bangladesh got it right actually, except for the air force as they should have more 4 gen fighter and utility Helicopter units than the current ones.

Pakistan actually has 76 F-16. And about 100 JF-17.

With budget of around 9 billion US dollars and the JF-17 fleet will grow to 150.
No idea why people think BD cannot afford 160 fighters by 2030.

@polanski is correct on this one.

Look at the Phillipines. Gonna go out and get some Gripens and FA-50.

BAF is pathetic. Bengalis talk but dont do. You and I both know this.

Agree on the talk part but money is NOT the issue.

BD economy is 300 billion US dollars and growing at 8% a year, and forecast to be one of the fastest growing economies till 2030.
2019 will be the year to finally know whether AL talks or actually does.
Let us wait and see next year I say.
