Pakistan Air Force Transport

For what it's worth, the BAF AHQ asked for a budget for fighter aircraft. I'm sure there's a 50:50 chance that, somehow, that money ends up going into 14 more C-130Js... @Bilal9

That would be strange. Bangladesh has little or no foreign commitments and no plans to large airborne deployments. Would be a waste of money and manpower to have so many planes sitting on the tarmac.

IAF may well push for these planes.

We may get few more c-130J to replaced our old c-130 and supplement existing fleet but very unlikely we will go for 14 c-130J. For fighter aircraft it seems our Airforce priorities western fighter probably typhoon.

Not to get too off-topic, but I think the BAF will go Western all the way. They shouldn't have any difficulty getting the financing or even industrial offsets (albeit in non-defence industries) to get a deal going.

IMO, Bangladesh ought to start with the JAS-39E/F and, in parallel, slot themselves into the KAI KFX. They'd use near-identical engines (GE F414), offer fleet-wide supercruising, and the same weapons set (e.g., MBDA Meteor, SCALP, IRIS-T, etc). Basically, maintain the JAS-39E/Fs to control the air over land, and the KFX/IFX to establish a maritime and long-range capability. Pair it with the GlobalEye AEW&C and A330 MRTT, and they're set.

I guess PAF is happy using their old C-130s with upgrades.

When the new Y-20s are coming to complement the C-130s in Transport roles?
