brother 10 Yak-130 will cost around 200 million with weapon package.......by deducting 200mili we have 650 mili.....and we are supposed to get us some fighters from russia....so I don't think sam perches program doesn't include in this 850 mili deal.......

Bro $850 million is just one side of the story,there will be state loans, may be strategic deals or even discounts we don't know so in to total the actual amount would be much higher !! btw there has been a tendency from our military is that whenever they procure something they don't reveal the actual price rather show a price which is lower than the original price.Otherwise they would have to face the hue and cry of 'Shushil Shomaj' !!

MiG-35 is still in development.

MiG-29 - although old still has potential.

Apache is technically superior compared to the Mi-28.

Smurfs are so badass.

I'm little bit dissatisfied. All the countries getting generation 5 fighter jet and we are getting 4+ and that is no now even, it is on 2018. Dissapointing!

Not all countries are going for 5th generation planes. IMO, they cost a fortune.

Air Force getting multibillion dollar revamp

Dhaka, Apr 15 (bdnews24.com) – The government has initiated a 'massive programme' to technologically advance the Bangladesh Air Force, a parliamentary watchdog says in a report.

The multibillion dollar programme include purchase of fighters, advanced jet trainers, radar and other equipment from Russia, China and other countries.

"Bangladesh installed short range air defence (SHORAD) system in December last year. It signed agreements last year to buy one squadron (16) of F-7 BGI fighter planes, three MI-171 helicopters and two AD radars," revealed a report of the parliamentary standing committee on planning ministry.

"Bangladesh will also procure one squadron of MRCA (Multi-Role Combat Aircraft) advanced jet trainers and high-powered radar under long-term loan protocol from Russia," it added.

Modernisation

Under the modernisation plan announced by the Awami League-led government, new weapons and reconnaissance have been added to the force, says the report, a copy of which is available with bdnew24.com.

"The government has asked us to give a modernisation plan. Accordingly we provided the plan and working on it," said a senior Air Force official who is familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"We never had SHORAD, but now we have installed it. Also, we laid foundation to set up Bangabandhu aeronautical technology centre where we can have test launch and repair our planes," he said.

"We have signed a couple of agreements with Russia and China and expect to get the delivery in phases starting from this year," the official said. "We hope to get a couple of BGI fighter planes from China this year."

Intense study

Officials say the Air Force purchases highly technical gadgets and for that intense study is necessary.

"It takes about two years of study before an order is placed to buy a particular type of plane," he said.

"Over the years we have developed negotiation skills to bargain for Bangladesh-specific products and to not purchase what is available with the manufacturers," he explained.

"We have courses at the staff college where we teach and learn about this study and negotiations," the official said. "Often we inquire about the quality of a product from consumers, not from manufacturers."

"The purchase contracts include all the technical details, photographs of the products and conditions regarding supply of spare parts and other accessories," the Air Force official continued.

Training

The watchdog's report said a total of 3,122 Air Force members will get training in the current fiscal year and out of them 120 would be trained overseas.

In the Medium Term Budget Framework (MTBF), it was revealed that the Air Force would replace 16 fighter planes and 16 training planes.

The Air Force earmarked Tk 17.66 billion in spending for fiscal 2011-12, which will jump to Tk 25.49 billion in 2015-16 fiscal year.
