I was really hoping we would get better fighters than JF-17 but upgrading the MiGs to SMT should hopefully give parity with Thailand's Gripens.

If Rohingyas are Bangladeshis, then Rakhine is part of Bangladesh. And I can't see the pictures you posted, thus if they were here to make a point, well they aren't making any.

SMT version upgraded MIG 29 is superior to Grippen & JF 17 Thunder both.
