New Recruit
Why to shed crocodile's tears for our Bangladesh? Our first priority was and is always economy. Moreover, India always kept on disturbing with our procurement by showing displeasure at every opportunity whenever we tried to strengthen our capability.
U mean that u will make india nervous.
Quite and long endured SUBs are the ultimate NAVAL weapons IMO. Many modern NAVIES including Chinese have started to believe in SUB based doctrine while surface vesseles would stay as subordinate. It would be quantum leap for BN if it can get 4 SUBs. I would preffer BN to go for 4 of the Turkish U-209 boats with modern refurbishment. Another good one could be Chinese Yuan with AIP.Why not?? I heard submarine could inflict serious damages...

India is a regional military power. BD neither can compete nor can make it nerveous by procuring just 4 units of submarines. But, with this purchase, Burma and India may not get away with pleasure in an offensive. Their noses may also bleed.U mean that u will make india nervous.

I really don't like such comments. You must learn to appreciate india's rise. We pakistanis can't comment on Indian military forces. They may be weak in comparison to US. RUSSIA or China. But they're miles ahead of us.. Their defence budget is 34 billion dollars which is just 2 percent of their GDP. But we are spending 3.6% of our GDP and yet our defence budget is 8 billion dollars. I've seen many of my Pakistani brothers commenting on Indian slums. But they have the second fastest growing economy in the world as well as second fastest poverty decline rate. Even in 1999 GDP per capita of Pakistan was more than India. But because of their economic boom their GDP per capita is now twice that of us. Their total GDP is close to 15 times more than that of us. Experts predict that because of the double digit growth India is slated to witness in this decade their economy will be ranked fourth behind those of USA,China and Japan by the end of this decade. As far as defence goes their defence budget will be about 180 billion dollars in 2015 if they continue to spend at the present rate of 2% of the GDP. You can understand the amount of development that's taking place in India if you visit the thread "India developing but still a long way to go". You'll be shocked. They have moved really forward. We as well as other south asian countries are nowhere near to India.INDIAN TROLLING COMES IN AND TALKS ****.
I didn't know India was in such a bad shape even after 62 years, it still forgot to buy new equipment, but clearly it looks like it likes to have Slumdogs running around the place.
That's the difference between Israel and Bangladesh. Israel is miles ahead in terms of everything. You just can't compare the two.

In fact Gripen is THE best plane for BAF. Single engine , has the lowest maintainence cost and overall performance is good for a small country like BD. However currently BAF is converting its 16 Mig 29s to SMT/M/M2 and ordered an additional 18 Mig 29SMT/M/M2s. These are the upgraded Mig 29s. Also they are planning to procure Su-30MKK which according to me is a good option too.
