Govt. never gave attention at armed forces specially to air force untill recent times.
F-7BGI bought as stop gap for 2 reasons:
1. first need to introduce some new tech.
2. before introducing to new aircraft, first need advanced training which is not available in current inventory. now yak130 is coming, so you will see new aircraft

Also best not to buy more than say 48 4th generation aircraft this decade and save money for 5th generation aircraft next decade.

In the past it was lack of ambition and strong political will,i would say! Though mig-29 is great fighter i don't want to see anymore than 1squadron of them!rather BAF should go after mig-35/j-10 and Su-30 for long range strike.

Stop gap: Something superior is coming. Wait for that. In the mean time play with some less efficient toys.These less efficient toys will fulfill the requirements of protection and training, until the efficient toys arrive.

 

[masud]

1) if we buying our next generation (force gole 2030) fighter then which fighter is best to buy ?
2) why we should buy this and what is the reason?

my vote is for j-31, becausr f-35 and pak fa is so costly.

i want your openion brothers...... @BDforever , @bongbang, @Khan saheb, @UKBengali and others.

J-31 as it comes from a reliable supplier and the cost would be affordable for BD.

Possibly SU 30s are coming next for 2030. Consider anything else then that.
Im sure when j31 and pak fa becomes proven fighters for other countries, BD may show interests in those.
We cant make mistakes. We have 2040, 2050 and unlimited forces goals too

i like su 30 mkm

It looks like long term program could be flankers and J-10 or Mig-35 and J-10...at supposedly $65m J-31 without other costs included purchasing handful say up to 24 would cost atleast $2.5m but do know as China progresses they will have same trend as US military Complex and companies spares and other service would be high enough don't misjudge China. Along either fulcrums or flankers and J-10 smartvweapons must be priority like ALCM, credible bvr, anti shipping anti radiation and last reasonable eyes in the skiez that is improved AEW &Cs. Additional Wide coverage of medium/high SAM systems...so its just not fighters for air force.

On another thought BD should start thinking only for the options of j10,j11,j20,j31s for its long term plan.Because there maybe a long term sanction on Russia, in that case only option is China. Also more cheap f7BGI made in China and BD. I like this plane much. In a war scenario, number game is also an important factor
