can't agree with you more.....
the "Shushil" people have downgraded Bangladesh to a lowly state which is unable to defend itself, let alone Muslim brothers in other countries....
we have been crying out loud how India is backing Myanmar.... now Modi is showing his true colors in Myanmar by...
no aircraft with American strings attached..... out of the question....
this is what is required....

thanks for the very honest statement on solutions....
I wasn't actually giving statements, rather suggesting solution..... solution based on geopolitics....
JF-17 has a geopolitical weight unlike any other.... the aircraft is a geopolitical nightmare for the US, as it doesn't contain any Western...
Enough is enough.... Bangladesh has been mulling for years on what fighter to buy!!!.... after the Myanmar Muslim's genocide and Myanmar's airspace violation (three times in on day), there's no point to waste any time.... new-build fighters are surely needed, but with 8 MiG-29 and some byone-era...
Cox's Bazaar Airport is being upgraded.... but more expansions are required.... some permanent squadrons need to be based there in order to act as a deterrent against any unwanted behaviour by the Myanmar military.... for that to happen, we require more units in the BAF.... at least another 5-6...
Bangladesh should've done this much earlier.....
and this should be followed by some joint military exercises with Malaysia, Indonesia, China and possibly Turkey and Pakistan.....
some new and substantial defence acquisitions are also necessitated by the erratic behaviour of Myanmar.....
sorry brother, can't find the links..... but I can share one PDF discussion on the US decision on F-16.... the original news items even had the names of US State Department spokesperson.... but those had been removed from Google searches...
well said, brother.....
what I can add here is that there are many "companies" with diddly-doddly names that work as subcontractors for large shipyards.... they work for many yards; meaning - the knowledge is spread everywhere through the people.... and there are too many places around the...
the article is trying to establish that Bangladesh's legs are tied to financial constraints and that Bangladesh's capabilities are likely to remain at a pretty low level....
the writer mentioned conflict with Myanmar, Bangladesh's membership of G77 developing countries, inability to pay for...
Of course we would get the latest ones... but that doesn't cancel out our intentions to build up numbers and in quick time too...
Everything has use...
on the contrary, the amount of land that is rising in the river delta around Bangladesh coastline, can actually form a land bridge up to Rakhaine..... we can walk there.... and it would be much easier for us to do what we should've done way earlier..... :coffee:
oh.... don't forget the Arabian Sea and Andaman Sea as well.... and the rest of the Indian Ocean, actually.....
we would be there with our fishing trawlers.... I'm sure you don't have any problems with a few hundred fishing trawlers here and there....
something like these.... you know...
actually most of the water around Bangladesh coastal areas along with rivers are not too deep.... do you remember the recent Army exercise at Swarnadwip?.... the other landing crafts of Army were there too, ferrying troops and equipment..... the new LCTs are likely to be fulfilling similar...
ah.... that random one?.... :cuckoo:
that's a good observation, my friend....
but you know, its that competition that keeps them vibrant..... boring discussion with everyone measuring their words is for literary debates.... this is a defence forum with people discussion on stuff that are...
ha ha.... well, if that's a complete one, that would resemble the earliest carriers that didn't have any island superstructure....
anyway, it doesn't look so bad, does it?..... just the very fact that its an Indian ship can of course put us off balance... but in my case, the very fact that its...
the term "parents" were used by you, not by any of us..... this is because we simply don't believe in such concept, even though you do.... and as we are not aligned with the "parents" concept, the question of granddaddies doesn't arise even....
and oh, to find your grandparents, go read the...
you have to pick a base on which you can argue.... currently you're not on any....
taking a shotgun approach works when you have an opponent as least as shallow as you are....
I don't blame you for any of this.... its simply beyond you....
