Bangladesh Army

[kobiraaz]

Just wanted to say: My respects to you guys because I, honestly, didn't think that you'd have such positive (or at least neutral) feelings towards Pakistan and Pakistanis. Because I've met a couple of Bangladeshis myself and most of them were very much spiteful towards both me and my country and demanded an apology for all that happened in '71 as if I was prowling the streets of Dhaka with a machete. In fact, one even thought it must to make the point that whenever he goes to the supermarket and finds something which says: Made in Pakistan, he makes a point of not buying it. Guess...I met the wrong crowd or are you guys not representative of most Bangladeshis..?

depends. Almost all of Bangladeshis believe that Pakistan dead injustice to us in 1971. But some choose to ignore that for sake of brotherhood and some choose to speak ill of pakistan out of nationalism. Yes we represent Bangladesh..

this forum is not the representation of whole bangladesh, most of us hold a fair deal of animosity towards pakistan.

Hmmmn..pity. Perhaps, old wounds will heal in time and our children's children will transcend our bloody past.

Hmmn..well the brotherhood part is encouraging and patriotism is very much understandable. I believe if both sides truly conduct a joint probe into the causes and effects of the '71 war and own up to whatever comes of it...we could truly bury the hatchet and begin anew.

Turkey delivers 3 modernized F-16 aircraft to Pakistan -- Shanghai Daily | ???? -- English Window to China New


Turkey delivers 3 modernized F-16 aircraft to Pakistan

Source: XINHUA | 2012-2-9 |

ANKARA, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. ( TUSAS) on Wednesday delivered three modernized F-16 aircraft to Pakistani Air Forces, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.

Turkish Defense Industry Undersecretary Murad Bayar was quoted as saying at a delivering ceremony that Turkey and Pakistan have successfully cooperated in a wide range of technologies, including radio, electronics and military information systems.

Pakistani Deputy Commander of Air Forces Gen. Asim Suleiman said Pakistan's air defense will become even stronger with the aircraft modernized in structural and avionic aspects.

TUSAS signed the contract with Pakistan Ministry of Defense in June 2009 after winning out in the tender of Pakistan Air Force F- 16 Modernization (Peace Drive II) program.

Under the program, TUSAS's engineers and technicians are responsible for the modernization of a total of 41 F-16 aircraft in the inventory of Pakistan Air Force (PAF).

The Peace Drive II program, which started in October 2010, is expected to finish by September 2014. The required parts, material and technical data are furnished to TUSAS in line with another contract between the U.S. government and PAF.

Within the scope of the Peace Drive II program, TUSAS also provides classroom and on-the-job training to 72 PAF technicians.

TUSAS, which was established for co-production of F-16 aircraft for the Turkish Air Force in 1984, is one of the major aerospace companies in the world in F-16 manufacturing and modernization. It is also currently modernizing 175 F-16s for the Turkish Air Force.

There you go! If turkey can deliver brand new modern F-16 to Pakistan, then why not we try to get from Turkey?

Instead of rafale or mig, F-16 is much better.

Cos we need to strike a deal with US first. Turkey is just the assembly plant.

Rafale is better than f 16(combat wise). As for the migs it depends on its varients

 

[kobiraaz]

Go chinese! Cause they have less banya mentality and they really want us to help!!

There we go?

Pakistan simply sent some of its existing F-16s to Turkey and USA for MLUs. They are NOT brand new manufactured ones.

For anyone to buy a newly built F-16, one has to contact the US directly.

You can't simply 'buy' an F-16 from countries like Turkey, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands. Those are the four NATO countries that manufacture it only for their own use. This is part of the agreement they have with the US.

I do not know what kind of package the Americans would offer in the F-16. They aren't even offering the Malaysian F-18 Hornets the AMRAAM BVR missile. Don't see how Bangladesh can get it soon.

Instead of rafale or mig, F-16 is much better.

Turkey only manufactures Block 50s.

I'd rather compare the Rafale to the F-18 Super Hornet. Both very formidable birds.

We really need an arm patch like this:

It'd look awesome behind the green and red background
