The problem with Muslim countries is that due to our lack of capability in sensitive tech, we are ALL dependent on outside countries for defense hardware.

As to what BAF will get, who knows man.

What do you propose?

As you said and as we all know there are basically 3 types of birds , light , medium and heavy .. BD-AF already have Yak-130 (advance lift trainer ) so they don't need another light bird JF-17 , they just have to increase numbers of Yak-130 ,,,,,
For Medium category , they think they cannot trust China , fair enough , but going for gripen is as dangerous as going for China's J-10 , simply because very few operators of Gripen so very less chances of Sp-Parts if sanctioned ,,, better option is F-16s simply because of Sp-Parts (so many countries using F-16s and Keep in mind Turkey) ..
Foe heavy they can chose any from EFT , Rafale , SU-35 (all three have their own advantages and dis-advantages and BD have to deal with them) .

EFT, Rafale, and J-10 (9-11 thousand KG) are all in the same weight class... Only option for heavy fighter is Su-30, and Su-35(17 thousand KG)
YAK-130 has almost no A2A ability and is maybe good for simple bombing missions but nothing else. It's a great trainer but not so much a good fighter. Gripen, or JF-17 is only option for true lightweight multirole plane.

IMO, if buying JF-17s from Pakistan will allow purchase of Babur, and other Pakistani weapons it would be worth it. Imagine BD buying 100 Babur missiles and having the ability to hit most of Myanmar and almost all strategic Indian targets near BD. Not saying it would happen but I'm not saying its impossible either because trust has to be built in for a JF-17 purchase.

 

[The Ronin]

@Philip give it a rest. BAF won't buy JF-17.

 

[Philip the Arab]

@Philip give it a rest. BAF won't buy JF-17.

What will they buy? IMO all planes are prone to sanctions in wars with either India or Myanmar. Even EFT may be prone to sanctions if used against India because India is in the commonwealth.

So is Bangladesh, sanctions aren’t placed if you’re the defender... it’s placed if you’re the aggressor

You seem to be mentioning all weapons systems. Who told you we want Babur? If a Babur type of missile is required, it can be sourced from other sources. Iranian Soumar, Quds-1, Hoveizeh cruise missiles can be acquired.

BAF and BD government will decide. Why are you guys concerned?

Even in the case of Myanmar? If Myanmar attacked BD will China sanction J-10, or JF-17 if BD ever gets them? I have a feeling they would because of their relations with Myanmar.

They would so don’t you think thats counterintuitive to your cause?

I guess, but Indias strong UK lobby could cause sanctioning of BD for EFT also.

It doesn’t work that way. I would have thought this had India bought typhoon

They will release another tender.

India is apart of the commonwealth of nations... If India pressures UK with cutting economic ties, and other strategic sanctions they will succumb and stop supplying spare parts.

Indias strong UK lobby

They can't do a zilch against us in UK...
