Bangladesh Air Force

wow 35%...

Yup, take that on the takeoff performance of the F-7M empty was around 900m on average, which means the MG is doing in in less than 600m. While not as impressive as the Harriers 300m loaded takeoff roll, is still pretty good for a small low maintenance but well equipped point interceptor capable of being hidden in the forest.. and all it needs is some 800m of strip to maintain operations.

Well, empty take off roll isn't much useful is it? Besides, modern aerial photography has rendered the 'camouflage' approach to hiding your runways/roads/hangers, useless.

You guys hope for a lot, but the fact remains that with Bangladesh's limited land area.. the approach was one that was identified by the Pakistan air force early on(and hopefully, many of the Bengali officers of that time carried those common ideas and training forward). There is little to fall back on, little to defend vis-a-vis the BD Army. What is needed then is the ability to disperse a lot of the BD assets quickly so that they survive onslaughts by an attacker.
For that the Mig-29s and F-7BGI's are already well set to take off from short distances. But that will mean that BD develop a highway strip structure that can support dispersal. In addition, BD needs a serious network centric system that ensures that its assets have similar or better situational awareness than the enemy.

Su-30MK2s may be formidable aircraft but they require large runways to operate from. By contrast, the Mig-29 can take off within 800m which is doable for many of BD roads and intersections. What BD Needs is well camouflaged secondary airbases beyond the usual setups that have been there since the times of 47. These need to use the natural foliage to their best advantage.

but defense planning is must be made accordingly with one nation need and defense planning, as an example Singapore which is an Island nation, a tiny one, they still opt for large fighter like F-15 SG and combined them with advanced medium fighter like F-16. So with Israel......

Its not an empty roll either. TheF-7M fully loaded with three tanks takes around 1000m to hit the air. These air based off the Mig-12C airframe and hence are lighter(and shorter legged) than the later mig-21s in any case.

What paintjobs will our su-30mk2 will be getting,similar to our mig29s?

 

[Avisheik]

Hmm, looks like our air force is heavily concentrated in the middle of the country. To me it seems a bit unbalanced. By this picture, the southwest and the northwest seem to lack BAF infrastructure compared to the other parts of the country. Jessore the only airbase in these parts, is a training school and does not have much combat capability.

Plus, the south east should get a radar unit as well, near cox's bazzar.

It's a very old map.BAF has some other installations that is not marked in the radar.Process to establish two more air base is on the way.One in Khulna other in Patuakhali.And FOB Cox-Bazar has it's own radar unit.

the map olny show old + fixed radar station, i am quiet sure we have some mobile radar system............

News: The first Yak-130 AJT batch, consisting of 6 aircrafts will be dispatched to Bangladesh on September 17 from Russia.
খবরঃ Irkutsk কর্পোরেশন থেকে কেনা বাংলাদেশ বিমান বাহিনীর ১৬টি ইয়াকোভলেভ ইয়াক-১৩০ যুদ্ধবিমানের মধ্যে প্রথম ব্যাচের ৬ টি বিমান আগামী ১৭ই সেপ্টেম্বর রাশিয়া ত্যাগ করবে।
State corporation Rostec General Director Sergei Chemezov has confirmed this.
.
"The first Yak-130 batch will be dispatched to Bangladesh on September 17 - six out of 16 vehicles envisaged by the contract will be delivered. We have seen planes being prepared for shipment in the plant's workshops," Chemezov said. He was visiting the Irkutsk Aircraft Plant together with Russian Presidential Aide Igor Levitin and acting Irkutsk Region Governor Sergei Yeroshchenko.
.
As an advanced jet training aircraft, The Yakovlev Yak-130 (NATO reporting name: Mitten) is able to replicate the characteristics of several 4+ generation fighters as well as the fifth-generation Sukhoi PAK FA. It can also perform light-attack and reconnaissance duties, carrying a combat load of 3,000 kg with it's 9 hard point.

radar not radar, marked or not marked, even with google maps and google earth you can made a good maps with good details about any country military installation

If bangladesh makes or buys drones,which one will it be?

If bangladesh makes or buys drones,which one will it be?

UAV

Type 1. The smaller basic drone gathers intelligence using cameras and infrared sensors. Typically they are like larger remote control aircraft but with more sophisticated electronics and long-range transmitters including autopilot, telemetry, video transmitter and day-light cameras. The transmitted sensors/video cameras gives the Army more 'forward-control' information. This class of drone aircraft is known as Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV)

Example: LSU-02 LAPAN: UAV from Indonesia

Launch from Frigate Helideck

Recovery using netting

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UCAV

Type 2. The second kind is more sophisticated and can launch guided bombs or guided missiles. They have even more sophisticated electronics and some even have satellite links. They also are larger, have higher fuel capacity and longer range capabilities, enabling longer loiter times. This class of drone aircraft is known as Unmanned combat air vehicle(UCAV). A perfect example is the 'predator' and similar drones. Link here,

General Atomics MQ-1 Predator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bangladesh currently possesses type 1 but may decide to get some type 2, all of Chinese manufacture. The Type 2 armed drones will improve counter-insurgency patrols in the CTG Hill tract area, among other things.

we can buy some and produce most under TOT from china
it will be help full for BGB and army af and navy
