Bangladesh Air Force

Why not BAF adopt the strategy of not putting all eggs or some eggs in one basket; rather integrate all the tech from different regions into its Air Force and build strong relations with Super Powers?

BAF can easily be built its future fleet with 180-200 Aircraft, that can be comprised of:

60 Aircraft from North American Origin:
F-16s Block-70/72
or
F-18s Block-III/IV

60 Aircraft from European Origin:
JAS-39 E/F
or
EF-2000s Tranche 4/5
or
Rafaels F4/F5

60 Aircraft from Chinese/Russian Origin:
J-20s / J-35s / J-25s (J-XX)
or
SU-57s

Because super powers themselves dont get along and they are not willing to share bd.

Its a obsessive stalker behaviour by superpowers.
 
Uncle sam asked BD rejected

All BD has to do is make a deal with uncle sam. Join quad and boom.

All BD's tech needs across all the sectors will be taken care of by a very generous uncle sam.
70s and 90s we asked for f4, f5, f101 I think and also f16s. Rejected because we were dirt poor. Imagine Sudan flying f16s lol
All we gotta do is sign gsomia and aacsa and we good

If we had the money sure. But we act like we can buy the world and take 20 years to buy something by that point it’s obsolete antiquated

I am talking about now.

Sign the dotted line for quad.

Uncle sam will be very genourous.

In the 80's and 90's uncle sam did not want you. Now they do. We all know uncle sam is extremely generous to his favarite nephews .

The pictures you have are of the F-20 Tigershark. That is a much later development of the F-5E.

The nose is flatter at the tip (top/bottom) and is a different shape than that of the F-5. Much better avionics and engines and had BVR capability.


Tomeyto/Tomatah...six or a half dozen or the other.

I didn’t know about f5s until much later in my aviation enthusiast journey, love the design

Same honestly lol , Cold War fighter jets had so much nice designs to them honestly a golden era of planes lol.

imagine being too poor to operate F-5s the simplest , cheapest and easy to operate fighters at the time. Damn.

Kinda embarrassing lol , even North Vietnam managed to capture some and fly it lol.

But aye look at the bright side , now we have the options to procure EFTs , F-16s etc

No those are F-5E.

Both Brazilian and Swiss.

F-20 was never exported.

Well, I'll be. they must have changed the nose cone (similar to F-20) in later versions of F-5E produced, then.

For comparison, here's an early F-5 (A or B version). With the characteristic "area rule" tip tanks and round nose cone.
