Bangladesh Air Force

[arp2041]

Well in My assesment, Bangladesh Should be looking for 50 odd Mig35 as air superiority Fighters with Adder BVRs from Russia and 100 JF17/FC1 with SD10s Multirole Fighters and Upgrade the existing fleet to be used as long as possible before future procurements. As a start towards Modernization into a formidable airforce, and think of any kind of defence against any Indian Aggression.But ofcourse if they are interested to spend that much in Defence Budget and most importantly if they can afford.
Bengali Experts can give better opinnion.

Mate, you are absolutely right. Defense should be the top most priority of any sovereign nation on earth. I would love to see if BAF could afford few F-22s......love these birds. Any plans of inducting F-35 over & above F-22s will be an icing on cake.

If they act on your opinion Bangladesh will be bankrupt next day...

We should gift some of our f7-pg to BAF... But only when RAWAMI league is our of govt...

Actually 50 Mig-35 and 100 JF-17s are affordable. BD economy is no longer a complete basket-case.

The main problem lies in the current Indian backed puppet government in BD.

Throw them out of power if they are such a problem.
If we can outset a military dictatorship why cant u throwaway an elected govt if it is against your national interest?

Problem is the army has been completely infiltrated by regime supporters.

We can still throw them out via street protests but BD people are not willing to sustain the massive casualties this would entail.

Like they say, you get the leaders you deserve.

BNP is the only party that can substitute AL. But, I think, unless BNP discards alliance with Jamaat, a religion fundamentalist party, it will not be allowed to form a govt. Not only India, but also all important western countries are on the same boat on this matter. They will use all their cards again so that BNP does not come to power when in alliance with Jamaat.

This is what they did during the last election. The foreign ambassadors regularly assured Begum Zia of a new election and dissuaded her not to join the last one. They made BKZ believe that their countries would force AL to give another election within three months. Well, it did not materialize.

By the way, why should we expect a stupid BKZ to strengthen BD's military when she did just the opposite during her last two terms. She turned BNS Bangabandhu into a museum and sued SHW for buying Mig-29s. It is no wonder why the military of today supports AL over BNP.

However, instead of saying the truth you people here are claiming that the military has been infiltrated by the Awami Leaguers. Simply speakin, BKZ is no more liked by the military because this self-centered woman gave nothing to the military.

Cannot Comment on BD politics. Its Internal matter of BD and bengalis knows best for them.
But either it be AL or BNP both are infact bengali Parties. And both should realize the indian and Burmeze Threat.
BD might not have the luxury of a non-Conventional Nuclear Deterrent like Pakistan.
So they have to strengthen there conventional forces.
And Air force is always spearhead of the Armed forces.

 

[Zhukov]

And a bit off topic. Do bengalis have some other Significant political forces other then conventional Bipolar system.
Like Imran Khan and Tahir ul Qadri in Addition to PMLN and PPP in Pakistan.

So, let us hear from you what planes and armaments did that Indian non-puppet BNP govt. of BD bought during its two full terms? Also, can you remind us who wanted to sell away the Mig-29s and who made BNS Bangabondhu a naval museum? Would very much like to hear truth from you.

I am not a big fan of BNP either but the fact is that Awami League did not play fair
by abolishing the caretaker system.


All I want is an independent BD with a decent military - subject to making sure that poor have basic needs met first. If the Indians have something decent to offer BD, then by all means trade with them. BD should have more respect than be subservient to India.

Unfortunately BD has two poor parties in place and a 3rd force is desperately needed.

Whatever you say guys. But BD airforce needa a serious upgrade.Even Myanmar Airforce will eat BD airforce in days let alone Formiddable Indian Airforce. Only proper aircrafts seem to be 8 obb Mig29s and some 18 F7BG. That is seriously low man.
Get your Govt to invest more on Air defence.

Indian puppets will not go for a proper air force bro.

These are people that recently brought Ming sub's as anything modern would threaten Indian Navy.

No, BD has no other political parties or individuals who can criticize or confront the govt in the Parliament or outside it. BD has the bipolar party system of which BNP seems to be more popular. Jamaat is fond of using religion in politics. The country's future is bleak if such a fundamentalist party ever comes to power because it is not a progressive party. President Ershad's Jatiyo party is a proxy for AL and has little credibility or popularity.

Politicians of today have no leadership quality. No new leadership nor political parties are coming out of the young generation. Money the only thing that today's potential leaders think about. Nothing else counts to them. Seems every one of them has sold their souls to money and the power associated with it.

We are progressing well in the economic terms, but we are losing our souls at a faster rate.

Funny, But i always thought Bengladesh was an Indian Proxy State and India would do anything to strengthen its ally and its army.
