What is really better for BAF what say you bro? Just too much confused with lots of opinion. Why we are not getting European planes only because of cost? If gripen NG is single engine then dassault rafale or other western that are dual engine. So why mig again? Just for low cost or some other reason?
However is this news confirmed?
Anything but..

Su35 is a very potent air superiority fighter jet. It's a good decision by BAF to acquire it. However in my opinion instead of going for Mig35 just get more of J10s. J10 is a multi role jet and the newest version is rolling out with Aesa and other advanced avionics. It's probably cheaper in terms of per fighter cost compared to Mig 35 and it will also be cheaper to operate in the long run. Not to mention it will be better to acquire two types of fighter jets as opposed to three different types since it will make maintenance/logistics simpler.

So will you be trained by Indians like Malaysian?

EXCLUSIVE >> Bangladesh Air Force ORDERED 8 Su-35 Fighter Jets From Russia

Bangladesh Air Force newly purchased 8 Russian Su-35 advanced multirole fighter jets. Previously BAF wanted to buy Su-30SME but later it choose better than that. Eight Fulcrum-F fighter aircrafts will boost Bangladesh’s air power in an unprecedented level.

Bangladesh Air Force ordered the Su-35ME variant, which came as a new derivative. The expected delivery date isn’t published yet. And Dhaka didn’t make any announcement yet, too. Hope, very soon both party will brief about this Su-35 dealings.

On the other side of the Moscow’s military diplomacy they sold six Su-30 to the myanmar air force. Russian news agency Tass reported that the deal has been signed during Russian defence minister Sregey Shoigu’s visit to the country. Bangladesh’s purchase of Su-35 may irk india. It is surely give an edge over the myanmar air power. But, indian air force may face serious challenge in the region due to advancement making by the Bangladesh Air Force.

Earlier we learned that a squadron of Chengdu J-10C are coming to BAF. Pilots are being trained in China, who will fly them. Usually Bangladesh Air Force counts 16 airframe units as one squadron. And, it was reported that Bangladesh bought as many as 16 J-10C which has been offered by the Beijing to Dhaka under $1 billion soft loan to buy Chinese military aircraft.

If Bangladesh buy Mig-35 then the house will be filled by the most advanced fighter aircrafts of the current world. Recently relations between Bangladesh and myanmar got severed over later’s genocide against Rohingya minorities. Dhaka strongly condemned burma’s military operation against Rohingya peoples which killed thousands of them and burmese troops torched almost all of the Rohingya villages in the rakhine state. And, almost 700 thousnds Rohingya peoples fled to Bangladesh to avoid this persecution.

Secretary General UN termed it as the “text book example of geocide” by the burmese military. During the military operation against Rohingya people burmese military helicopters violated Bangladeshi air space several times. Dhaka restrained from firing at those choppers and waited to see what international community do. But, pathetically world failed to punish burmese military junta.

Now, Bangladesh pursuing her own resolve to solve the issues with myanmar. If myanmar military failed to understand Bangladesh’s demands they must face a new military power than before they did. It’ll cost their national interests at large.

10 squadron 4+ generation fighter jet by 2030.
In that case 8 Su35 are not enough. BAF should have two squadrons worth of some high end fighter like Su35 as the tip of the spear. I assume more will be acquired in time. 8 squadrons of J10s and 2 squadrons of Su35 supported by AWACS would be nice.

1 Squadron of J-10C, 1 Squadron of Mig-35 (with transfer of technology and will be manufactured at Bangabandhu Avionics Center) and 8 Su-35 for now. 1 Squadron will be stationed at Dhaka and another one will be in Cox's Bazar.
