What were the USAF F18 doing in Bangladesh?
BAF target drone
I may have a comprehension problem with the English language, so, can you tell me what really did you mean by "BAF target drone?"
Why are we so quiet about the fighters? What happen to YAK-130? Will we ever get them or keep it for BNP to cancel the purchase? How about the sukhois? Any news? I mean why are we posting pictures? We all know how f-7 and mig-29 looks like and posting them I see not necessary. Please bring something important next time otherwise I request the moderators to delete those pictures and messages.
Russia, Bangladesh Seal $1 Billion Arms Deal | Defense News | defensenews.comMOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Jan. 15 met the prime minister of Bangladesh for talks that included the signing of a $1 billion arms contract, the Asian nation’s biggest since its 1971 independence.
Bangladesh has recently been expanding its defense capabilities, building a new air base close to neighboring Myanmar and adding frigates to its navy.
“Our countries intend to expand their military and technological cooperation,” news agencies quoted Putin as telling Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during a Kremlin ceremony. “Russia will extend Bangladesh a credit of $1 billion, which will be spent on the purchase on Russian weapons and military technology,” the Russian leader said.
The arms purchase agreement included orders for armored vehicles and infantry weapons, air defense systems and Mi-17 transport helicopters, a source close to Russia’s state arms export agency told the Vedomosti business daily. The source said the purchase did not include any tank orders because Bangladesh had earlier obtained those from China.
Bangladesh also opted out of its initial plans to purchase eight advanced Mig-29 fighter jets because of their $500 million price tag.
A separate part of the agreements saw Russia assign $500 million to finance the construction of Bangladesh’s first nuclear power plant, to be built at a site called Rooppur. The two planned Rooppur reactors are expected to cost $4 billion, with Russia also agreeing to continue financing construction after the first phase of the project is complete, news reports said.
Bangladesh’s military spending spree follows the recent discovery of offshore natural gas deposits, which Russian officials believe means it will have no problems repaying the credit.
A.N.M Muniruzzaman, an analyst at the Dhaka-based Institute of Peace and Security Studies, told AFP it was the biggest defense deal ever to be signed by Bangladesh, which gained independence in 1971.
BAF should get an ex-squadron of F-16 from USA if its possible to boost their air defense capabilities.
