$1 bl Defense deal with Russia Includes:

[PlanetSoldier]

Never heard of this cantonment before. How strong is this one? Is it as strong as Bogra?

Well..Khulna Jahanabad cantonment is no where near main contonments like Jessore, Moinamati, Bogra etc. As Khulna is a coastal zone and Jessore cant. there to defend on ground, on army establishment there's no importance. Khulna cant. is renowned for its supply corps, many supply corps trainings are held there. BN ComKhul command is actually bigger and significant that people there don't know because no big ships of navy can enter there. Under ComKhul there are many naval wings, Mongla is just one like that.

Actually we can afford those aircraft but at first we have to stop our corruption

Oh, you think we cant afford to buy 12-24 J-11B or SU-35s.

 

[Flynn Swagmire]

Actually we can afford those aircraft but at first we have to stop our corruption

Till now any BD GOVT did not passed a strong anti-corruption law.

Before the chinese can sell J11/J16, they must take care of the engine problem and bring down their dependence on Russia to 0. Currently russians will cause problem in the hypothetical export of J11/J16 or even J10 (engine is the biggest issue). I believe china will even it up with Russia within this decade in tech and solve the engine issues. SO chances of getting Chinese 4++ gen fighters may be out of the equation but can look forward to J31 and likes.

More MIG-29s! Upgrading our perv. ACs are ok but, buying more MIG-29 **********

Are our GOVT and Airforce senseless?

Look at BAF now... 8 Mig-29S, 40 F-7(MB/BG/BGI), 7 A-5C, 6 F-6, 7 L-39ZA...

Don't you think it would look better this way: 40 Mig-29SMT, 32 F-7(BG/BGI), 24 YAK-130...

This is what the govt. is doing I guess...

 

[Bamboo Castle]

What about sylhet man?

We should buy better fighters then MIG-29s.

Do we have any airbase in Sylhet... Besides you can cover Sylhet with ACs from Dhaka and Bogra...

BAF asked for Su-30 and Govt is more interested toward Mig-29... I do not know what the result might be but according to Russian analysts Govt. were interested about Mig-29. Again, from another source I came to know that Govt. has cancelled the Fighter aircraft program for 2 years, meaning we are not ordering any Fighter aircraft till 2015 (verification needed).

Any Chance of buying 100 odd F-22s in this $1 billion deal??

Any Chance of buying 100 odd F-22s in this $1 billion deal??

Production line for F-22 is discontinued. We probably will opt for J-31 for sure...

No , we rejected F-22, water gun is enough to shoot down su30mki

 

[Bamboo Castle]

Mig-29SMT is a 4+ generation multirole fighter so what is the problem if we buy it?

Mig-29 is more expensive to maintain than Su-27/30, F-16, Gripen etc. It is also more fuel hungry, with less combat range, payload and hardpoints. IT is a tactical fighter. Besides, the production for the older variant (Mig-29A/S/SE/SD) has been seized with Myanmar being the last customer. Also, Mig-29 did not evolve much like Su-27 and has a potential for extinction. You might not get enough after sales support as well. It did not also mature into another aircraft (not counting Mig-35 as id did not find a production customer). The Mikoyan is also struggling to survive and is shown in their desperate sales moves.

These indications are enough and are suggesting you to change to platforms like Sukhoi/Boeing/Lockheed Martin/SAAB etc..

I hope this is true as otherwise Awami League may order more Mig-29s which are not the best aircraft for BD.

If the BNP comes into power than there may be a chance to purchase the J-10B which would offer the best deal for BD's limited funds.

We should establish our own Defense Industry to make our millitary self-sufficient. We can buy technology from others and give our Defense Industry a quick boost.

We can invite Bangladeshi Millitary Scientists-Experts working for other countries to Join in our own Defense Industry. I am sure they will come and we can make some Badass things.

We are developing... We are making BD-08:

dont try to be modest...perhaps u can bring down su30 with your bare hands..

 

[arp2041]

I am sure if BD will ask for License Production of F-22s in BD than US will say YES.

This way BD can also Export, Made in BD F-22s to some countries.
