What's new

Bangladesh Air Force

Haha.

So then whats left?

It's actaully a very interesting situation we have here.

What's left is Tejas which will miraculously combine ground attack, trainer, interceptor, naval attack platform etc. all different roles according to Bharti brochure. I think Indians are definitely pushing Hasina hard on that front....

They can't find one good customer for their POS Tejas garbage, but we are there right next door. Money is there for the asking....

Personally, I think there are some politics going on behind the scenes which is delaying the choice/choices.

Bingo - right on the money, Chaiwala effect.....

Now what is the significance?

BD Military is back to J-10 again for 6 squadrons of MMRCA. :lol::lol::lol:

Operating so many different types of jets will be a logistical nightmare. IMO, BAF may go for three platforms at most.One from US,one from EU & one from China.
However, even that might be hard to afford.In that case, procuring one from US/EU & one from China would be best.I believe we should get double engine jets from EU as China doesn't have any of that sort which it might export to us.
Russian jets MUST avoided unless there's no other options. Not only because they're not as advanced as their western counterpart, but also cause of their high maintenance cost, low availability,low service life compared to many other western jets etc.Also, their relations with India goes much deeper than with us.

Not to mention you are likely not getting any political advantage from buying Russian.

They are essentially mercenaries selling to both sides.

At least with the US/EU there is some political backing albeit due to THEIR interests and not BD’s.

just a normal bilateral meeting between China and BD for more cooperation.

Are you serious?
I am sure that F-22, if not F-35, is the most suitable plane for the BAF. It is expensive and I am not the Chief Executive of the country. Also, the USA just does not sell its best planes to an impoverished poor country whose population numbers more than the population of Russia, the largest country in the world.
