lol....why are you trolling man...?
they are ordering these antiques (f-7 bgi) and you are asking them if they are buying rafale....
This is the pic of our 'F-7BG', not the newest "F-7BGI"...
No one have seen F-7BGI model.
Please compare sensibly...How F-7 is comparable to Rafale???!!
But, our F-7BG can be comparable to your MiG-21Bison...
Here it is:
F-7BG vs MiG-21Bison
..............................
Reasons why the Chengdu F-7BG Skybolt is superior to the Mikoyan MiG-21-93 Bison Fishbed:
1. F-7BG (2200km) has over twice the range than the Bison (around 1000km).
2. F-7BG has an aerodynamically superior design.
3. F-7BG has a strengthened airframe, it is built with the latest technology while Bison still dwells on the 1970s era MiG-21bis design.
4. F-7BG has superior cannon armament; F-7BG has 2x 30mm cannon while Bison has 1x 23mm cannon.
5. F-7BG has more hardpoints; F-7BG - 5 and Bison - 4.
6. F-7BG has superior HMS with +/-90° while Bison has +/-45°.
7. F-7BG has more efficient and reliable engine.
8. F-7BG has better cockpit and man machine interface.
9. F-7BG has full night time operations capability, with night vision goggles compatibility there is yet to see prove of this on the Bison.
10. Multimode radar with BVR capability. F-7BG (BAF), F-7PG (PAF) and F-7G (PLAAF) can fire the advanced PL-12 MRAAM with range of 70+km.
11. F-7BG has almost twice as more fuel.
12. F-7BG has greater strike capability with the capability to deliver 2x LS-6 PGMs which are comparable to US JDAM and have range of 60km, additionally it can carry 250/500kg low-drag general-purpose or anti-runway bombs, BL755 600lb cluster bomb, 200kg anti-runway bomb as well as 57/90/130mm unguided rockets. F-7BG has night strike capability with Stand off Raptor 1 (H2) and LGB capability.
13. F-7BG has greater AAM options; AIM-9, PL-2/2A, PL-5B, PL-7, PL-9C, PL-11 PL-12, R.550 and Russian R-series AAMs.
14. F-7BG has greater climb rate.
15. F-7BG has a greater maximum speed; F-7BG (Mach 2.35) while the Bison (Mach 2.10).
16. F-7BG does not have any stalling issues due to the merged double-delta wing design. The strong vortex of the inner wing re-energises the boundary layer of the outer wing, preventing span-wise flow towards the tips. This allows even more carefree manoeuvring at ultra-low speeds.
17. F-7BG has better RWR.
18. F-7BG has MAW sensors on rear, starboard and port sides.
19. F-7BG is more manoeuvrable than the Bison with a G-Limit of around +8.5.
20. F-7BG can operate from shorter runways; it has lower take-off and landing speeds and distances.
21. F-7BG has a greater turning rate; with maximum instantaneous turn rate of 25.2 degrees/sec while the maximum sustained turn rate is around 16 degrees/sec.
22. F-7BG has 84% combat effectiveness.
23. F-7BG is 43% better in close combat.
24. F-7BG has twice more time interval between overhauls compared to the MiG-21 Bison.
25. The trainer version of the F-7BG; the tandem twin-seat FT-7BG is also combat fully capable; it has 1x 30mm cannon and 4 hardpoints which can fire PL-7 and PL-9C AAMs as well as PGMs, LGBs, unguided bombs and rockets.
I have fully listed why the F-7BG is superior to the Bison. The F-7BG s almost a new aircraft from the aging the MiG-21 series; it features improvements over the MiG-21 Bison in all aspects.
With advanced BVRAAM capability, strike capability, night-time operations capability and better in a turn, dive and climb the F-7BG outclasses the MiG-21 Bison.
The F-7BG is mostly a new airframe design with advanced radar, engine, avionics, etc. while the MiG-21 Bison is in fact the same old MiG-21bis of the early 1970s (which in turn is mostly based on the 1960s era MiG-21MF) with just some new avionics, radar, engine, weapons capability and a new canopy.

* Now, let's talk about our upcoming F-7BGI.
F-7BGI China's Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group Company F-7-based research and development of new models, equipped with improved airborne equipment, including - - - hand throttle lever, hands on the bar, control device (HOTAS) ,control device, three multi-function cockpit displays and a HUD. The machine also has the ability to use guided weapons, the use of GPS signals to transmit high-precision air-guided bombs. The machine also has GPS system for navigation bomb throwing ability due to Bangladesh's orders.
* F-7BGI is greatly BVR capable,,,so, It will have a different looks and nose for it's new radar...
I guess BAF 's F-7BGI will look like any one of these F-7 models/variants/...
1. F-7FS
2. F-7X
3. F-7MF

4. F-7 Super Seven
5. JL-9
6. F-7 with CFT
Who knows...???!!!
Those F-7s were ordered long before the our MMRCA deal was finalized. The F-7 order had nothing to do with India's MMRCA. It was intended to replace the BAF's aging A-5s and act as a '
stop gap'.
Bangladesh Air Force plans to buy new fighter aircraft, and most promising candidate models, including the U.S. F-16 and Russia's MiG-29SMT/M1-M2. In addition, Sweden's JAS-39 and Russian Su-30 will also participate in the competition.
Please, guys listen up...Bangladesh is a peaceful and peace loving country. We don't like war. We are trying to improve our defence for our own. We like to remain defensive. It doesn't indicate any threat to our neighbor. And we are not tensed about our neighbor's defence procurement. At the end of the day, the most funny thing is that who opened this thread is not either a Bangladeshi and or an Indian!!! He just opened and left this...And while we are quarreling each other he may have a popcorn and enjoyment... That's bullshit...!!
