Bangladesh Airforce inviting tender for 8 MRCA

. . . .
- 8 with the option for an additional 4 aircrafts.

- Delivery in 2 batches - 2nd batch within 24 months of 1st.

- Aircraft must be brand new and manufactured this year.

Would have been nice to see 12 with an option for an additional 4. Oh well...

It requires a dry thrust of min. 5500 kgf. And an air search radar with min. 160km detection range. Does Mig 29M have these?
 
.
I think it will be mig 35 filling this requirement of thrust.

Someone help me out...why do people think, these won't be brand new - it's spelled out specifically in the tender

59. Date of Manufacture.
The offered aircraft must be brand new and the date of manufacture of the aircraft, engine, all major equipment, avionics and communication system are not to be manufactured earlier than the year of signing the contract. All the vendor items should be brand new and the date of manufacture of the vendor items will be as per the certificate provided by the manufacturer but not earlier than the year of signing the contract.

It's definitely mig 35... and I guess depending on the condition of the aircraft (mig29) either they'll be upgraded to smt to complement and form the full sdq or just 4 more bought to form mig 35 sqd

Since there is a requirement for maritime role I can't totally negate sukhoi out yet for this one.
