Cheap reply. The US downed Iran Air 655 also. What's your point? The OP is a tragedy.

That is supposed to be the plan.

I understand that Bangladesh has to play nice with India to some extent given geography. But for all this talk about independence and self determination. It's a bit ironic, given the heavy influence India has on Bangladesh. It's just very frustrating to observe the direction Bangladesh has...

Thoughts on this video?

Please check my posts circa 2017 in regards to "Forces Goal 2030" Fookin joke! Forces Joke 2030! No fookin way BAF was gonna have 10 squadrons of anything come 2030. Edder kono lojja shorom nai. The morons running Bangladesh have their own agendas. Also, its FOOKIN infuriating to see the...

@Arthur My brother! Glad to see you back on PDF. Please consider posting more often. You bring alot of good insight.

You need a dedicated defense minister. Someone who understands. Not a grandma who gifts fish to a potential adversary's leader. You probably have at present BAF leadership who are the closest thing to being educated advisers to Hasina who ultimately makes the decisions. And that same BAF...

BAF and Government of Bangladesh. Have some shame. Your addition. Note the name even. And then note below. This is a REAL air force.

There is ZERO geopolitical advantage to source critical systems from Russia. Mi-28 I would say is non-critical. MRCA or MMRCA IS critical. Russia neither helps you against India or Myanmar. At least with China (J-10), you can counter India. And with the West (France/UK/US) you can counter...

I will take your word as correct. However, the other points remain. A lot of conflicting news. But I mean, we have nothing to do but watch and discuss.

No thanks. That would be a TOTAL waste.

Yes all good points. But every choice has its pros and cons. I guess this is the direction BAF went.

A few reasons. 1) Familiarity with Russian helicopters 2) Cost 3) Potential issues with engine sourcing from the US 4) Mi-28 is a great machine on its own merits. and finally 5) Timing. Earlier delivery. I was initially disappointed with no Apaches. But the more I think about it, it...

No bhai. We ARE in the dark. The public news is not reality. It's in the back rooms with the things we don't know being discussed which is what really matters. All I know is I see things happening that are conflicting in nature. i.e. Chinese donation of sub to Myanmar, US sanctions on RAB...

The real question is why the interest in Bangladesh all of a sudden? After all, we are a little country at the end of a delta with little geopolitical significance.

Let me tell you. The US doesn't care about democracy. It's a joke. There are other issues at play. Not sure what's going on but the US could care less about democracy in Bangladesh. I think we have reached a crescendo in terms of converging, turbulent and conflicting diplomatic issues. The...

There are things going on way above your head. We are all in the dark right now. Crazy stuff.

https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/bangladesh-bank-asked-to-transfer-foreign-exchange-reserve-from-us-soon.731803/#post-13491111 I dunno what's going on. But it looks like Rafale and J-10 it is. Wow. If its gonna be J-10, then lets get on with it. No need to delay. Edit...

Check the coordinates at the end of the video. Possible Afghanistan theater coming. Natural grounds for JF-17 ops. Not to mention 80's era Soviet/Afghanistan scenarios. https://stormbirds.blog/2021/12/24/dcs-world-2022-beyond-trailer-teases-f-4-afghanistan-more/
