Excuse me, they were built. They don't have radar until modernized further tho.

Are your MIG-29s upgraded? Because I think UB was never ever built and had only prototype.

MIG-29 UB is the trainer version.

I heard Bangladesh is developing its own stealth fighter.

No way. Half of Bulgarian MIG-29s are UBs and they have fighter role, but are modernized.

Could be your air force have a different variant of the MIG-29.

I love Bulgarian yogurt by the way

KURMITOLA AIR BASE, Bangladesh — Family members and friends of Bangladesh Air Force personnel gather around a U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet fighter aircraft during an open house Oct. 26 at Kurmitola Air Base, Bangladesh. Marine Fighter-Attack Squadron 314 is currently participating in Exercise Sumo Tiger 2007, a bilateral training exercise between the U.S. Marine Corps and the Bangladesh Air Force.

Seems like the BAF going for Hornets was a hoax.

Most likely. Otherwise, yes Bulgarian yogurt is popular. Cheers

BAF has taken steps to upgrade the present stocks of 15 or 16 units of mig-29 to SMT grade. Moreover, it will purchase at least another sq. of Mig-SMTs. Further to this, it will also purchase one or two sq. of F-7BGs. The present stock of 2 sq. of F-7s have been upgraded to BG grade. BAF is now in the process of phasing out its old A-5 Fantans by making these upgradations and new purchases of Mig-29SMTs and F-7BGs.

Alongwith these interim arrangements. BAF will also purchase 2 or 3 sq. of 4++ generation of fighter planes. Negotiations for this are now being conducted by the BAF officers with other govts.

SMT/M/M2 are two/four seater with added radar and some ehnancements.

F-7s are very outdated and the specific model F-7BG is four seater with no other features.
