48 hours world wide.

That's pretty ambitious.
Just out of curiosity, any reason why would we want to achieve that?

UN missions seems like a good bet. Many good men died unnecessarily when they didn’t get the support in time.

I’ve noticed the LETs are flying a lot on flightradar 24.

Perhaps preparing for the new C-130J?

If you're hinting at air-to-air refuel capability - they should have had rolled that in decades ago. Every other airforce in the region of significant size has that capability, except us. Same thing with AWACS. ATA Refueling is a must for deep strike capability inside Simian territory. But then again, what we have is an AIR FARCE, not air force.

Color scheme of these new ones are off to me.
Anyways there are plans to have at least 12 of c130s for various operations.
Word is they want to have the capability to deploy special forces within 4 within country or 48 hours world wide.

IMHO, the White contrast band around the roundel (in the size as shown for the C130) is too thin. It needs to be more pronounced, thicker and whiter. There needs to be a balance between the contrast of the colors.

Generally - the roundel on the C-130 is way big, almost too big in my opinion (especially on the fuselage). That is partly the reason it looks odd.

I actually wasn't referring to A2A refueling.

I just meant the LETs were up more often to train new transport crew for the incoming C-130J.

In terms of A2A refueling however, yes clearly the BAF is lacking.

In many capabilities.

I don't know if they really take themselves seriously or its another Biman phenomenon going on.

Also, whats up with preparing yourself with UN commitments and ignoring your commitments to the self defense of the nation.

Believe me - these guys are milking the UN thing for all it is worth. Self-defense is nowhere at the top of their agenda, petty financial self-fulfillment however definitely is! A gift that keeps on giving!

If that is the case government is to blame.

If the govt. guys get the cuts (I am pretty sure they do) then they will for sure look the other way. The rot always starts at the top....

Tough little birds. Usually they paint the radomes flat black with special paint so the radars can 'see' better.

The Bangladesh Air Force attempted to purchase American or Western fighters numerous times in its history. Each time the American's displayed their opposition. Wikileaks reveals how the US contributed to Bangladesh getting closer to the Chinese.

This is relevant today because the American's are focusing on the "East" trying to increase influence with strategically important countries.

"EMBASSY SHOULD INFORM MFA THAT WE CANNOT APPROVE PROPOSED SALE OF F-104 AND G-91Y AIRCRAFT TO BANGLADESH, SINCE THE US ITSELF WOULD NOT PROVIDE THOSE OR COMPARABLE TYPES OF AIRCRAFT TO BANGLADESH."

The US also made sure NATO allies such as Italy also never sold their fighters to the Bangladesh Air Force even if US did not even built aircraft such as the G-91.

This also occurred with the request for F-5 and F-4 Phantom II' fighters BAF requested earlier.

I was looking for this pic.....

Evidence that F-7MB is still in service at least up until 9/2018 when this pic was taken at CXB.

Anyone know how many are left?
