Bangladesh Air Force

well, do you think if Myanmar bought Sukhoi, there could be Pakistan in this discussion?.... no....
the issue is, selling JF-17 to Myanmar has a much bigger political benefit for India and the USA... that way, there can be an argument that BAF shouldn't go for JF-17/FC-1....

remember, India is quite happy with BAF going for Russian jets rather than Chinese/Pak jets....

politics decides sources of platforms....

nah nah nah.... it's a hypothetical question i asked him bro... read it again... it doesn't make sense for jf-17 to cost as much as sukhoi 30 without tot.... tot is definitely involved in this deal... from knockdown kits or not...

and bd goes china route so many times even if it causes pelvic cramps for the indians....

thats exactly the point.... the issue is not Myanmar....
the issue is who introduced JF-17 to Myanmar?..... are these the same people who didn't like newly-bought BAF aircraft flying from China to BD over Myanmar?.... and are these the same people who sparked off ethnic cleansing in Rakhaine after killing some Myanmar police members?

India steps up supply of military equipment to Myanmar to counter China
Mar 24, 2017
Steadily cranking up military ties with Myanmar as part of the overall policy to counter China's strategic inroads in the region, India is now also going to export lightweight torpedoes to the country.

India is already providing rocket launchers, mortars, rifles, radars, night-vision devices, Gypsies, bailey bridges, communication and Inmarsat sets as well as road construction equipment like dozers, tippers and soil compacters to the Myanmarese armed forces.

The export documents for the $37.9 million deal with Myanmar for the indigenously developed torpedoes, in turn, were presented to finance-cum-defence minister Arun Jaitley at function here on Friday.

Military drill carries China’s message for Myanmar peace
2017/3/30
China launched a military drill near its border with Myanmar aimed at "testing the troops' capabilities in rapid maneuver, precise destruction, vertical blockade, and joint strikes" on Tuesday, the Xinhua News Agency reported. Carried out amid intensive clashes between Myanmar government troops and ethnic armed forces, the exercise has demonstrated China's determination and will to safeguard its border security.

now, think about it.... where does JF-17 stand here?..... who wants JF-17 on which side?

Myanmar Deal also includes local assembly. That's not the case for J 10.

Generally the cost also includes training, spares and weapon systems.

Bangladesh won't be paying somewhat more than 70 -80 million per unit (weapons, spare, training included).

Doesn't inculde local Assembly
Somehow people confuse the fly away price with export price
J-10 would cost with training and support atleast 70-80 million nearly 70% more than thunder and 80-100% less than rafal, almost same as sukhoi and more expensive than mig29

 

[ziaulislam]

Cost all dependent upon sub systems. An aesa radar with strong EW alone will cost More than the whole airframe

india knows... militarily and now economically too... bangladesh is more or less under china's influence.... so the new player in town is their only option to counter china... while burma doesnt want to upset china because it too has chinese assistance.... it's playing pretty chill nowadays and will jump boats for sure depending on the conditions.

but then a j-10 is a different class of fighter... on par with mig 35... but not on the same class as a sukhoi.... so j-10s cost really speaks for the things you get with it... it's not overpriced at all... reasonable

great to know that air surveillance of Bangladesh airspace is almost complete as far as ground-based radars are concerned....

now we should start thinking of airborne radar coverage for some early warning and control....
