So many butt-hurt Pakistani and Indian asses are on fire at this post
Despite the lack of progress so far, I still believe that BAF will have 10 squadrons of 4+/ maybe some 5th gen fighters by 2030.
This is a total of 160 planes in total that will be backed up by an integrated air defence system of AWACs and ground radars. Let us also bring in the powerful AESAs that the new frigates will have.
Even though BD will not become a hostile country, the IAF will have a real headache as to how to handle PAF, PLAAF and the BAF in a worse case scenario.
As long as BAF and BN can together work together to protect BD airspace then this is enough.
