I don't see how you guys can get it at 2025, way too early considering we're in 2017, it will need to finish its various testing and since its not a priority jet of the Chinese it won't go as fast as the J20.
Taking your calculation into account, a 10 billion dollar defence budget will not only be for maintaining a fleet of 250 aircrafts, but the remainder of the 2 sections as well. Our navy is big and it will only get bigger by years, with more subs, helicopters and fleet vessels to come. Not to forget Army, which stands at 400k (correct me if I am wrong) and should touch around 550k-600k by that time. That is a formidable force along with newer equipments that will come. You need money to maintain that as well.
250 modern aircrafts are a big number you are talking about.
The mix is actually 160 SU-30SMEs, J-10B and FC-31 by 2030 and that is realistic.
How good are you at mathematics? If you are poor at this then no need to discuss further.
BD GDP spending on defence is at around 1.5-1.6% when arms purchases are take into account, and so it is now at around 3.2 billion US dollars with a GDP of 250 billion dollars.
BD economy is set to hit 1 trillion US dollars by 2030. Let us reduce this figure by 30% to take into account inflation and so we have an economy of 700 billion dollars in today's money. That would make the defence budget 10 billion US dollars today.
10 billion US dollars is ample money to support an air-force that will be compact at around 250 aircraft of all types.
Only an ability to run mathematics in your head like a calculator will allow anyone to understand why BD's planners are spot on with this "Force Goal 2030" plan.
J-31 will start arriving in BD airfoce by 2025. 2030 is too far as BD has a stated goal to deter India by 2030 and not after

Still a long long way to go, due to the many changes between the first and second, they will need to build more prototypes to confirm the changes made is 1) correct or 2) not correct which would make development even longer. You have to remember this is a 5th gen so they can't go all slap dash with it.Second prototype came out
A regular sqd consist of 18-24 planes... 16 is a hardline limit, making it 12? Bruh you want to expand your divisions like Hitler's tank brigade without equipping them amply? Bruh. BRUH!Well I think BAF can cut down the FA numbers from 160 to 120 with each squadron consisting of 12 fighters. Although, traditional BAF FA squadrons are 16 units; a 12 units squadron is not a bad number. This initiative might just work out the problems regarding budgetary limitations.
Well, I'm no expert but a simple idea!!!

Don't dream of a 160 strong fighter sqd with only 32 planes to train pilots (jet conversion)
For now I would say to quickly complete the su30 sqd to 16 and not stall out like the mig 29 sqd... and get more of j10b or c if possible... and then add a sukhoi sqd each two to three years...I o
I only thought about it since our air space is not that large to begin with and we also have budgetary limitations! There may be far better solutions as I said already I'm no expert. Anyway, it was just wishful thinking!
BTW, what would your suggestion be for BAF procurement plans for 2030 time limit?

At best I see it at 2030-2035 at best or 2040 or later at worse due to infrastructure that needs to be laid and a training regimen that needs to be developed.
OK. BD will get J-31s by 2050 if that makes you happy in that case.
Dude this thread is full of kids that are talking when they simply do not have the amplitude
in either geopolitics are mathematics to be able to make informed views and so i am out of here now.
So we happen to disagree on something and this is the way you decide to react? disappointed.OK. BD will get J-31s by 2050 if that makes you happy in that case.
