    Countries that have shown interest in BAFs' modernization program

    If you go with the capabilities of air to ground then JH-7A could have been a great fighter for Bangladesh. It can carry 3 times more weapons than Mig-29 and JF-17, it can carry all sorts of air to ground weapons. But we are not talking about an Attack aircraft or a fighter bomber. In...
