very very detailed post! my concern about the Sukhoi is the PESA radar, which is not up to the AESA..... in the air superiority role against Western platforms, AESA would be a major issue.... but if we consider the aircraft as a flying command post controlling smaller fighters, PESA is still a...

lets discuss something about the air..... do we? :) how about the new Sukhois are heard to be going to the south to fly over the BoB..... what about protecting the skies in the middle?

well, in case of any armed incident in the Pak-Ind frontier, everyone would be counting Bangladesh's defence budget and the dispositions of Bangladesh military units..... to be an influential country, defence buildup has absolutely no alternative..... developing only the economy for "peaceful...

when Bangladesh decided to split off from Pakistan, it had a goal to justify the split.... and for that reason alone, Bangladesh needs to develop its independent defence production capabilities.... Pakistan is far ahead of Bangladesh right now in that field.... and I think Bangladesh deserves to...

meanwhile..... whats the air traffic like over West Bengal?..... the usual thing, or anything new?

the colonial game of dependency is now coming to an end.... period!! there's no way Bangladesh would go back in time..... its time to build a strong state... and a strong state doesn't come through dependency.... education, medicine - these are part of the infrastructure to develop a state...

hmm.... when Bangladesh decided to split off from Pakistan, it had a goal to justify the split.... and for that reason alone, Bangladesh needs to develop its independent defence production capabilities.... Pakistan is far ahead of Bangladesh right now in that field..... and I think Bangladesh...

its not forgotten how cargo ships full of badly-needed food for famine-stricken Bangladeshis were diverted by the Americans in 1974, just because Bangladesh sold jute goods to Cuba.... the point is, its not just economic considerations that guide geopolitics.... control of one state over another...

well, I can't imagine how you would see into the well-being of Muslims in general when you closely guard a nation in your heart that deceives its own people in broad daylight.... I have disagreed with your perspective not just because those go against the interests of Bangladesh, but also...

exactly.... just like the US Navy and practicality do not fit in the same sentence now-a-days....

I support your thought that Bangladesh needs to look beyond BoB... but the way you're looking at it, brings up questions that are difficult to answer.... like why do you think that only after 2030 Bangladesh would develop this kind of needs.... and why do you think that only going the way...

sorry brother.... your compromise over conceding the sea lanes outside the Bay of Bengal to other countries is not really my cup of tea.... leaving others to control the sea, our navy would be a bunch of expensive toys in the Bay of Bengal.... if our navy can't do the job it is supposed to do...

umm... not really.... I'm talking of the thought of defining who the enemy is.... based on that you can decide whether you need a fast aircraft or not and how may.....

no, my point is - what thought would create the requirement for a fast aircraft..... that is what I am talking about.... not the aircraft, brother.... the thought.....

a reconciliation between Bangladesh and Pakistan goes against the geopolitical objectives of the superpower (though declining) United States.... such a reconciliation would imbalance India, because they would then need to balance Pakistan and China and Bangladesh at the same time.... to keep the...

science gives options that can be implemented.... not policy decision.... setting requirements is policy.... policy is dependent on thought, not scientific possibilities....

Bangladesh Navy can have access to almost any port in the Indian Ocean.... and if Indonesian Navy visits Chittagong Port, Bangladesh may not object.... and it may be the same for warships from other countries in the Indian Ocean rim.... this is just one perspective I give regarding the power...

China, Japan and Korea all three had been long-term allies of ours.... this has been the policy of Bangladesh and is likely to be in the near future.... you can't possibly change decisions on this based on arguments alone.... Japan and Korea are also heavily dependent on raw materials from...

hmm.... so, requirements fetch solutions in science or science determines what requirements should be?

first of all, you definitely don't want a China-Japan-Korea football match in the Indian Ocean.... that's not our plan, rather its the plan of the United States - hedge Japan and Korea against China.... if China starts to establish military bases on the Indian Ocean, that would make Japan and...
