this i have seen many times in past for few days BD members give up new fighters . but then they return with more powerful more advance more trustworthy source with more advance next gen fighter claim .Guys , no offence but can we please stop quoting websites and “personal sources” as this has been going on for years and years now?
Truth is none of us here have any real information about when or if BAF will buy any modern fighter aircraft.
It is nearly 2021 and the BAL have been in power for nearly 12 years and they have not brought a single modern fighter aircraft. We have had 16 F-7BGIs, 16 Yak-130 trainers, dozens of K-8Ws and lots of transport aircraft. This gives a good idea of where BD sees it’s priorities despite having more than 1 million Rohingyas expelled to it during the current rule of BAL.
Even public government statements cannot be trusted anymore as we did not see the contract for the 16 MRCA last year. Covid is not really a good enough excuse by now as lots of other countries are signing deals during this time.
The only things that can be relied upon is a public signing of a contract or confirmation from weapons manufacturer of a deal.
