BD think tankers should keep in mind that Russia & China is now same forum so buy any thing from this country next one should Europe.J10C from China other one from Europe, MBT2000 from china other one EU, never depend one country/Coalition. now the team for BD keep in mind two neighbor Turkey will help against both, Europe against MM, China against Babu moshai, Russia for only strengthening forces.but don't let go Russia becoz they are going to become next decade of no. one power in the world.

Brilliant post bhai.

I would not buy anything bar the SU-30SME from Russia, and that is only because it has a large range and weapons load that BD cannot get anywhere else. Russia will within a decade fall far behind the US, EU and China in weapons technology and so it is a lost cause.

Turkey in the next 10-15 years will become a key supplier for BD as it's weapons technology matures and can offer nearly the full range of weapons that BD military needs.

Ummm looks like the deal was signed in March, first batch of BAF pilots completed training in China, more were sent at the end of last year. This is some serious claim (there is also a talking about operating both J-10 and Mig-35 but lets not talki about that). I really want to create a separate thread but.......



Just hoping it comes with a good engine, that's it.

If such a deal was signed, wouldn't there be official statements from both BD and china?

And who will give money for these mix platform and face maintenance nightmare?? Not everyone posses the money and will to buy and handle all these mix platforms like India and ME countries. Russia and China will be our major arms supplier for long time.

Look not everything get published when a country buy or sell any military hardware. I remember how long everyone argued about BAF trainer AW-119's photo with Bangladesh's photo on it from factory cause some thought it's for BAF and some thought it's for an civil aviation. Many of us thought it's AW-159 which it wasn't.

Same can be said about AW-159 nobody said we are gonna buy except a tender which indicated the purchase. But photo emerged with our pilot taking training on it.

Same thing is happening with Oerlikon GDF too, army just showed a plan but nobody announced the purchase, yet there's a tender for 35mm ammo.

This is the combat radius of all BAF front line fighter aircraft from their main fighter bases.

As you can see even without mid air refuelling arrangement BAF fighters can cover Myanmar, North East India including West Bengal and Bihar, Nepal and Bhutan.

This long range is deterrence enough as multiple deep sea ports, international airports, hydroelectricity dams, powerplants, bridges and defence industries are within reach of Bangladeshi fighter aircraft.

There is 3 different radius for different fighters. This includes the future aircrafts of BAF.

This doesn't seem right.

 

[Avicenna]

Why?? Can't Su-30, Su-35 do this??

Firstly, assuming BAF gets its hands on either Flanker variant, in theory this may be possible. (Based on ideal circumstances to get maximum theoretical radius of action on these types.)

In reality, the radius is MUCH MUCH less. Any sort of combat, low level flying, carrying of ordanance will degrade range of course.

Also, I highly doubt BAF can carry out operations deep into India (LOL!) or Myanmar.

Lets not embarrass ourselves with simplistic graphics such as this.

we should sell 8 mig-29, replaced it with 16 SU-30MKB (Future 32 unit). F-7 Replaced by J-10C/D (Future 64 Unit).

The Mig-29s have around 10 years of service life left in them and so not going to be around forever.
Best thing about those 8 Mig-29s is that both India and Myanmar have them in numbers. BAF pilots know this aircraft inside out and so useful to keep, even though it is a maintenance issue.

Why BAF don't buy Malaysian Mig-29N as a stop gap and fill the Mig squadron?? Anyway......

So the position now is 3 frontline fighters...I would be very happy if this materialises.

On the basis of the above plan BAF will be able to provide credible defense against our primary enemy.

Boy that is a 'loaded' image with meaning - if anything...and in 2016 too.
