BAF need to improve its air defence capabilities, S-300VM Air Defence System will be the better option then buying new jets

S-300VM "Antey-2500" is a new Russian anti-ballistic missile system.

It is designed to defeat short- and medium-range ballistic missiles with a launch range of up to 2,500 km, aeroballistic and cruise missiles, strategic and tactical aircraft, as well as loitering ECM platforms and highprecision weapon systems in multiple air threat conditions, a complex air situation and severe ECM environment.

Missile

The 9M82M missile is intended to defeat tactical, theater and medium range ballistic missiles, as well as aerodynamic targets at a range of up to 200 km. The missile is controlled throughout the entire flight trajectory.

The 9M83M missile is intended to engage tactical and theater missiles as well as aerodynamic targets at short and medium ranges. The Antey-2500 system is mounted on tracked cross-country vehicles provided with self-contained power supply and navigation systems, surveying and positioning equipment.

Operational range 200 kilometres (120 mi)

Flight altitude 30,000 metres (98,000 ft)

s-300 class are categorized as offensive weapon due its range. Its not easy to acquire.

Just few long range air defence system is not adequate . we need both long range air defence system as well as fighter aircraft

If I am not mistaken, BAF is already working on an improved air-defense network opposed to acquiring new aircraft. And as far as this S-300VM goes, they won't allow it :no:

A range of 2,500 KM is no joke.

There was a time when it was thought that BAF was on the verge of procuring the "Buk-M1-2 SAM" Air Defense System (ADS). But, what really happened we do not know. As you know our military people are too tight-lipped for obvious reasons.

But, it is accepted that one or another system is now being set by the BAF to protect the country's ground-based assets from being fired and destroyed by the enemy planes. But, no one really knows which make or which country is the source.

Your idea is correct that without a functional air defence system it is useless to buy expensive birds. However, after this stage of ADS purchasing, BAF will certainly buy new 4++ generation attack planes.

Theres no chance of procuring Russian air defense(not that its bad),
where do you guys hear this stuffs:undecided:
Anyways unofficially this is the probability according to sources

1. VSHORAD : FB-6A (6 km)
2. SHORAD : FM-90 (12 km, for point defence)
3. Medium Range : LY-60D/LY-60N (22 km, for limited aerial defence)
4. Semi-Long Range : LY-70 [Naval Version]/LY-80 (42km, for aerial defence)

[LY-70/LY-80 is a reverse engineered version of Russian BUK-M1-2]"

It seems that the military will also equip all ground unites with MANPADS. The preferred artillery being FN-16 .

Of course a range of 2500 km is no joke,but the range of S-300 is around 200 km.2500 km,will be like you are shooting down enemy jets in the rear air-bases even when they are taking off,not even the forward airbases.... :D

200 KM range sounds reasonable but if you can't shoot down MIG's and Sukhoi's what is the point?

A Russian air defence system will simply be an extension of Indian air defence to combat Chinese aircraft. How is that good for Bangladesh?

It will be used by BAF, not IAF......

Yes it can shoot down jets but it can be prevented from shooting down MIG's and Sukhoi's. Why would Russia sell Bangladesh an air defense system that can shoot down jets that it sold to India?
