All that for just $1 billion ??

Are they second-hand?

None of them are 2nd hand.. $1bl is not an small figure.

You are right about us not getting any figther jets using the $1 billion loan since most of it will be used for the yak 130s.

Have we already get to receive Mig-29Ms??2 billion does not sound realistic for 40 Mig 29Ms especially if the have AESA radars.
What about the Upgrades for our current Migs into SMT?

$2bl for 40 Mig-29 makes each Mig-29M priced at $50ml. The 50ml priced because of advanced weapons and avionics on board.

The standard price of a Mig-29SMT is $38ml, Mig-29SE $30ml, Mig-29S $27ml, Mig-29B/UB $25ml.

The 20 Mig-29 that Myanmar airforce bought was priced $26ml per unit and $570ml for the complete package. Package unit price is $28.5Ml.

Quantity does not matter much. If BAF had 3 to 4 squadrons of Mig-29SMT/M (some 48 to 64 aircraft) with expert and well trained pilots, then even India (having its border covering three sides of Bangladesh) would think many times before attacking. (Not trolling) and Myanmar would pee in their pants thinking of so.

Bangladesh can secure all its airspace with 64 Mig-29SMT/M:
1. Dhaka needs 2 squadrons (32 Mig)
2. Chittagong needs 1 squadrons (12 Mig)
3. Cox's Bazaar needs 1 squadrons (12 Mig)
4. Bogra needs 1 squadrons (8 Mig)

nice analysis
