Its not the discussion about the role of fighters which you alluding to. It was and is the FACT that Awami league bought something just to deceive people of their defense commitment. You are so desperately trying to mask Awami wrong doing with gibberish.
R-77 or R27, these missile were bought by later government NOT by Awami one. Show us the proof otherwise.
And no one compared two types of aircraft. it was facts regarding purchasing. Dont caught up with indian habit of twisting statement.
Pity my Bro...
When these Defence equipments are bought they are usually for a period of time and within which the supplier provides everything and Govt. pays the suppliers during this time,in case you don't know.
The first batch of 8 migs were brought at 1999 and second were scheduled for 2001.In between there was a change of govt. and the duty fell on BNP govt. to pay the rest of the money.
BNP stopped paying Russia when they found some equipments were undergraded,which is good for BNP's part.But again started paying them after discussions between both parties.
you see when the F-7 BGs were flying from China to BD,they were not carrying any missiles but eventually they got their missiles.
Now one thing I forgot to mention,The best frigate in BD navy was brought during AL period.This frigate type is said to the most modern frigate of its class in the region according to the Bangladesh Navy.Now it is commissioned as BNS Khalid Bin Walid.
In 1994-95, the then government, in principal, decided to purchase a naval frigate for Bangladesh Navy, but it did not mature due to indecision. In the following year (1995-96), a decision was taken. According to schedule, the frigate was to be received on June 18, 2001.The frigate was first commissioned on June 20 in 2001 as BNS Bangabandhu in Bangladesh Navy.
May be BNP purchased in quantity,16 F-7s compared to 8 migs,but look at the quality.
If AL had not bought anything during their tenure then you could have said AL does not want strong army.But they did buy things,so we can't blame them.
