Russia's UAC may deliver fighter jets to Bangladesh


Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) with its advanced MiG-35 fighter jets is one of the key candidates to win a contract to deliver eight multi-role combat aircraft to the Bangladesh Air Force (BAF), said an official representative of Russia’s Centre for Analysis of World Arms trade (CAWAT).

"United Aircraft Corporation with Su-35, MiG-35 and Su-30SM fighters is the main candidate to win the contract," said the representative to Russian news agency Sputnik on Friday.

Bangladesh’s Directorate General for Defence Purchase announced on its website it was interested in the acquisition of eight Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA) in the financial year 2017-2018, with an option of purchasing additional four aircraft in the future, according to the document.

The Bangladeshi Air Force already has Russian MiG-29S fighters in operation.

i feel as if they dont want to offer the mig 29 as its now old and phased out and will push for the mig-35, and once/if they get a deal they will be in a good position to offer upgrades to Bangladesh's current mig 29 fleet.

 

[bluesky]

It is made in Russia, no doubt now. Someone with good knowledge of the specs., please let us know which of the three types of jets the BAF will purchase.

They phased out Mig 29 according to the requirements of BAF. Because of increased payload, more hardpoints and increased detection range of ESA radar, Mig 29 goes out of picture.

SU-30MS should be a good choice, they work perfectly with the Mig-29S.. But Mig-35 as a second choice should be good enough too..

This time it may be Su 30/35. Mig 35 may take till 2020-2021 for BD as its not under production yet and there are also existing orders. BD most probably would like to have some birds by 2019.

Su 35 is also in the radar as per the international reports, that makes it interesting.

I really want to see SUs - a beast in the sky for sure! 2-3 squadrons of SUs would be enough for us in the long run, coupled with J-series from China.

As per report Mig 35 sould go for production in 2018. Then there is no way we gonna get prioritized delivery with only a order size of 8. As for between Su30/35, some conditions may be relaxed during final negociation.

UAC is desperate make some sales.

UAC is desperate make some sales.

And we should take benefit of that.

 

[rome333]

JF17 block 2's KLJ-7V2 radar detection range is 100+km. It can also house C-802A which has a far greater range.
There was a lot of hype before this tender that we were about to get 8 Mig 29m to complete the squadron. Now it can be seen that BD has moved its priorities towards more range, radar and payload this time. Seems more like emphasizing naval engagement capabilities. Which again seems like countering MM's recent acquisition of JF17 with naval strike capability.

You mean MiG right? UAC is the parent company. Sukhoi, MiG are the subsidiaries. Sukhois are still selling. MiGs are not. So it figures that since we're getting only 8, we would piggyback off Egypt's 40+ order production line.

ya, they will try to shove the mig as it is trying to survive.

sukhois sales stalled too... in recent years... the only sales has been to is russia...


i would be so surprised to see something like su-35... when it is the much more bigger brother of the su-30.
(in terms of payload, range etc) i would be happy to see su-30sm too.... but mig 35 is not happening and that's for sure.... not until it meets the requirements
