Bangladesh - Air Force

[Al-zakir]

So Easy to forget the 71 huh??????? Never learn from ur mistakes. History always repeats... Thank God your government thinks otherwise.

If we Bangladeshi decided to move on than what's bharatis problem here?

A dalal bahrati government will not stay in power for eternity.

You guys need to stay away from our internal matter because it us Bangladeshi will decide our fate.

Al-zakir,

Why do you always break your head against fanboy replys. Chill. You have always shown your own govt. in bad light and that is not desirable. People of Bangladesh voted the party to power and if I am correct they have a comfortable majority to rule the country for the next few years. Each Govt. does some good things and Bangladesh is known for some revenge politics and that is being played with some of the policies of the current government. Even in India, the left parties are considered to be closer to the Govt. of China but that does not stop them from working for the poor in the states they rule. The policies of the left can be debated but I for one will not condemn a democratic party in India just because they believe in something that the local population support.

Please have a healthy debate on posts that are moderate and not get embroiled in rage and tit for tat posts. Please move on and use this medium for constructive debates. If possible, ignore flaming wherever possible. A rant gets recognition if you selectively reply only to rants.

Just my 2 cents and you are your own master and can decide to continue answering rants or debate without loosing your cool.

This budget and armaments are long over due and nice to have. Provide valid source or STOP spreading false news based on juvenile fantasy of bdmil forum.

Bangladesh Air Force is to get 32 advanced fighter jets by 2021. Aircraft that are being considered are MiG-29CMT, Lockheed Martin F-16 and Su-30 and the Saab JAS-39.

According to information published in the journal «Jane's Defence Weekly», became aware that Shah Mohammad Ziaur Rahman (Marshal and Chief of Air Staff, Bangladesh), said at an international conference in London on 2011 that his country intends to buy 16 brand new F-7BGI fighter jets from China. Their preparation is expected in 2012. Details of the contract on purchase of F-7BGI aircraft, remained undisclosed. It is assumed that these will replace the outdated fighter bombers A-5C, now in the service.

Based on statements by the commander of Air Force Staff of Bangladesh, an improved version of F-7 the F-7BGI, created by a Chinese company, known as the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, characterized the best on-board equipment. There is a control stick HOTAS, three indicators (multi-) in the cockpit and one on the windshield. Weapon system includes bombs (guided) capable of induced by GPS. Judging from these descriptions, we can safely conclude that, in a sense, the production of the MiG-21 does not stop now.

It should be noted that the Bangladesh Air Force in 2006, has received 16 fighters of earlier versions grade F-7BG, who produced all the same Chinese company, as well as four combat-capable aircraft grade FT-7BG. A little earlier, from 1989 to 2000, the air force acquired an additional 16 fighters marks F-7MB, and 8 training version FT-7MB. Incidentally, today in the ranks stay single machine (23sht.) and 8 trainers. And all of them are registered for the squadrons of 35 and 5 on the Dhaka-Kurmitola Air Base.

According to Shah Mohammad Ziaur Marshal Rahman, the purchase of aircraft F-7BGI will be for a transitional period, because in the next 13-15 years, the Air Force intends to acquire a new generation of fighters (32 unit). The options being considered is the MiG-29CMT, Lockheed Martin F-16 and Su-30 and the Saab JAS-39. In addition, the Air Force plans to upgrade 8 MiG-29 that were purchased back in 1999, and of course, buy a new trainer for advanced training in order to replace the existing L-39.

Does anyone know if BAF's modernization plan consists of procuring new transport aircrafts?

No known plans at the moment. The C-130s are more than enough to do the job.

The news posted by Akash is a little old, but which part of the news is seriously false? Check and reply, but do not send anti-military posts, which you do frequently. Any strengthening of our military makes you nerveous. But, why?

1) 16 units of new F-BGI planes for the Bangladesh Air Force have been ordered, and NOT 12 units of Migs as the post says.

2) 4 x newly built modern guided missile frigates will be procured for the Bangladesh Navy on top of 2 x F-25 frigates ordered from China. It is correct. Moreover, BN also bought two helis for navy and has ordered two maritime planes to Germany. It also ordered two submarines.

Forget about other things written in that post. But, there have already been many purchases and there will be many other induction of weapons/hardwares in the army, navy and airforce.

Really?? Didnt know that.

Bangladesh, this year has bought a lot of new equipment, considering the budget restrains

Yes, I suspect him being a RAW mole working in this Forum. If he is a BD citzen, then why should he so eagerly dismiss all the military purchasing news? Does it matter if the govt is run by AL?

People usually misinterpret the defence budget. $1.5b is only for internal allotment for paying salaries, dresses and many many others. On the other hand, the purchasing budget is not revealed. The military hardwares are imported in a different categories of import such as Heavy Machines or Special Machines.

Note that we import rice from abroad. But, do we have any prior budget for importing rice? No. It is also same with military purchase. Govt allocates dollars for the import of both rice/essentials and military hardwares. That's all.

How about new helis?
