I have been saying both Bangladesh, and Pakistan should acquire long range MLRS and use them in anti Indian air base role. If BD could acquire 300km range A-300 MLRS it would allow Bangladesh to take out a majority of Eastern airbases and allow BD to effectively neutralized Indian numerical, and technological superiority by destroying or seriously hampering their airbases ability to operate.
Caliber 300 mm
Number of tubes 8
Rocket weight over 800 kg
Warhead weight 150 kg
Firing range 20 - 290 km
Full salvo duration 50 s
Reloading time ~ 8 minutes
I have mapped all Eastern air command airbases and have placed three circles representing where A-300 could be stationed to take out a majority of all bases.

Launching 40-50 of these missiles towards each airbase would more or less ensure destruction of any Indian airbase in use. Bangladesh would need 100 or so launchers, which would be expensive but a great option for a force multiplier.
This idea, combined with BAF acquiring modern aircraft in large quantities would allow Bangladesh to deter India, and severely harm it in case of a conflict.
