BAF mig-29s are possibly to counter myanmar who also has mig-29s.So upgrade should be decided accordingly.

The legacy versions have 7 hard points. The SMT has 9 - four on each wing and one on its belly. The MiG-29 does have TVC options if I'm not mistaken. Not all SU-30MK's have TVC, MKI (India) is the only known variant to have such a feature.
And please, do provide a source as to how the Flanker is cheaper to maintain than the MiG
I believe that is to make it compatible with the Phalcon which IAF operates.
how the hell is 8 mig 29 going to protect Bangladesh? this is just a waste of tax payer's money. It is time, we sign a defense pact with India to protect 'our' skies.
I'm afraid my friend, Mig-35/Mig-29K/M/M2 has 9 hardpoints. Mig-29SMT/UPG/SE/S/B/UB has 7 hardpoints.
Mig-29OVT & Mig-35 has TVC option. Sukhoi Su-27SM, Su-30MKI/MKM, Su-34, Su-35 is known to have TVC.
MKM is effectively the MKI with all Israeli kit stripped out and replaced by French alternatives. MKM is a spin off of the MKI as is the MKA and RUAF SU-30SM.Yeah, the number is only 7 (corrected). The MKM is very similar to the MKI, not too much of a difference.
And no, Su-34 doesn't have TVC It's a fighter-bomber and it doesn't need any of that.

Su-30SM is an upgraded varient of Su-30MKI. It took most of its materials from Su-35S. Su-30MKI is like the export version of Su-30SM.
India-BD are friendly state, Under no circumstance India will attack BD... Though India will not actively participate if BD-Burma war goes..

22000 flying hours.... since the soviets thought of having to make planes in large number anyways during cold war...What is the life span of a mig? How much life is left on our planes? How will and how much will this upgradation improve the migs life span/effectiveness. ( sorry not military minded so surely have not expressed it correctly but you guys hopefully will understand what I mean)

you can increase its lifespan with a basic upgrade package for 40000+ hours but if you go overboard... a maximum of 80000+ hours. around 10-15 years
(note the numbers are conservative) and then you need an overhaul... you can do 3 overhaul on one aircraft... ours have done its 1st and can serve 30 more years according to pilots.
oh damn!!! boy i went nuts with the zeroes... my bad! xD :,) using cimputer to type ... lellol,
initial version of Mig 29 only had 2500 hours lifetime within their airframe, upgrading the structure of the airframe will only prolonged the life time into 4000 hours or so (depending on which batch and serial number version you had).
Mig 29 airframe is being known as unreliable and quite problematic. The maintenance cost is quite prohibitive, the reason why Malaysia retired their 20 fleets of Mig29 is because the operational cost and airframe structural problems in which plagued their operational readiness
