4x C-130B Hercules of BAF have been made operational once again.
বাংলাদেশ বিমানবাহিনীর ৪ টি C-130B Hercules এখন সচল এবং উড্ডয়নকক্ষম।বাংলাদেশ বিমানবাহিনীর ৪ টি C-130B থাকলেও ১৯৯৯ সাল থেকে একটি বিমান ইঞ্জিনের সমস্যার জন্য গ্রাউন্ডেড ছিল।বর্তমানে তা রিপেয়ার এবং মেইনটেইনেন্স এর মাধ্যমে আবার চালু করা হলো।

আজ সেই বিমানটি (সিরিয়াল-৯৬২,৩নং ছবি) মালয়েশিয়া(Malaysia) থেকে সম্পুর্ন চালু অবস্থায় ফ্লাই করেছে।
Very soon 3x brand new,state of the art C-27J Spartan will be added to the fleet.
খুব শীঘ্রই বিমানবাহিনীতে ৩ টি সম্পুর্ন নতুন এবং অত্যাধুনিক C-27J Spartan যুক্ত হবে।ফলে আমাদের বিমানবাহিনী আরো সহজে,কম সময়ে যেকোন সামগ্রী যথাস্থানে যথাসময় পৌছে দিতে সক্ষম হবে।

What is the Doctrine of BAF. seems to be a professional organisation.

Forces Goal 2030
The Bangladesh Air Force has an ambitious modernisation plan to be implemented in upcoming years under Force's Goal 2030. As per the goal, air force is to be a strong deterrent force to well protect the sky of Bangladesh. Plans are made to strengthen both air power and land based air defence capabilities. BAF has taken the delivery of sixteen Chengdu F-7BGI fighter aircraft, nine K-8W basic trainer aircraft, eleven Mil Mi-171Sh combat transport helicopters three Let L-410 Turbolet transport trainer aircraft, sixteen Yakovlev Yak-130 advanced jet trainers and two AgustaWestland AW139 maritime SAR helicopters from 2010 to 2015.BAF is now awaiting to take delivery of 11 PT-6 basic trainers and two training helicopters.

BAF earned the Surface to Air Missile capability by introducing FM-90 short range air defence missile in 2011. Bangladesh air force will receive Italian origin long range Selex RAT-31DL air defence radar and a short range air defence radar soon.

Plans are there to procure eight multirole combat aircraft, six Mi-171Sh helicopters, two maritime search and rescue helicopters, one medium range surface-to-air missile system and one unmanned aerial vehicle system soon.

"Banglar Akash Rakhibo Mukto" is their motto. The rest are classified, I presume.

@Mohammed Khaled. Any further developments regarding upgrading the existing Mig-29 to SMT standard?

 

[Flynn Swagmire]

মালয়েশিয়া থেকে ফ্লাই করেছে মানে? কোথায় গ্রাউন্ডেড ছিল ১৮ বছর?

I don't think we'll upgrade them to SMT variant... for the age of the fleet... the upgrade is not worthwhile considering it does lower some performance figure which is mandatory by BAF

Thought that was a done deal?

The Migs are to get new avionics and radars.

Yes but SMT upgrades get... fuselage expansion, strengthening, fuel capacity increase, 3D thrust vectoring on latest offerings...

Don't think BD is interested in all that.

Think all we will see is new radar and avionics. This will not affect the performance
of the aircraft one bit.

BD cannot say it openly but it is India.
Myanmar is insignificant.

What you have and are seeing is the building blocks with the 16 Yak-130
and 8 K-8 trainers brought from Russia and China.
Now 12 SU-30SME will come by 2019 and we will almost certainly see
a contract soon for J-10bs

BD will finish it's military modernisation by 2030 and will then be able
to deter ANY ONE of it's neighbours.

bangladesh will need to expand sooner or later. due to growing population.is an invasion of myanmar being planned

True... the turn rate doesn't drop at all except when the external fuel pod is being carried... which is normal... other than that it's still good enough to go...

bangladesh will need to expand sooner or later. due to growing population.is an invasion of myanmar being planned

You know we won't do that no matter how nuts our military leaders might be... it goes against the constitution and the basic principles the armed forces was founded... we don't want to be the aggressors.

Are you a still a student? Then you will become wiser as you grow into a mature adult.

F*ck constitution etc. These things are written for a certain time and place. Everything is transient in life.

BD MUST expand in the future in order to become a prosperous and powerful country. The Indian NE will be split
between China and BD by 2050 - note this need not come via war as multi-ethnic India will naturally disintegrate.

As regards Myanmar, Arakan will become part of BD as this is natural due to population demographics and geography. This will I think require military action but no big deal to beat the crap out of Myanmar with little cost
in life and treasure to BD.
