Any word on the Mig-35 purchase?

Yes, J-10C would be a better option than Mig-35. The latter was rejected by the IAF.

Engines and radar to blame for MiG-35 failure in MMRCA contest

Radar and engine performance shortcomings were to blame for the MiG-35 failing to make the shortlist in India's medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) contest.

The revelations are contained in feedback from India to Russia's arms export agency, Rosoboronexport.

The MiG-35's radar, the Zhuk-MAE active electronically scanned array (AESA), from Russia's Phazotron, failed to achieve the required acquisition and tracking ranges. And its Klimov RD-33MK engines also fell short of the Indian performance criteria.

Speaking to the media on 3 August, Vladimir Barkovsky, chief of MiG's engineering centre, said: "The Klimov and Chernyshev [engine companies] briefed [India] at length about their capabilities and intentions to improve their offering, but unfortunately their arguments were not taken into account."

Despite this, the same RD-33MK met Indian navy requirements and powers the newly-built MiG-29K/KUB fighters being delivered to the service.

Barkovsky also defended the Zhuk-MAE AESA radar, pointing out that the prototype nature of the model fitted to the MiG-35 meant that it did not meet the tender specifications, particularly regarding range.

He said: "We told the tender committee that this particular unit is experimental, and that in future we will make a larger radar antenna [capable of being used at a longer range]."

Barkovsky pointed out that the Eurofighter Typhoon is yet to be fitted with a working AESA radar.

"While the Russians demonstrated their radar fitted to the real fighter and working, [Eurofighter] demonstrated their radar on a helicopter," he said.

"The positive outcome of the Indian tender is that we made a huge effort on the radar development and demonstrated what nobody expected of us, and thus surprised many, including some in our home country," Barkovsky added.

The company will continue the MiG-35 project, he said, and look for other export customers.

IAF to ROSOBORONEXPORT

Brazil’s Taurus has won a contract to supply various types of small arms to the Bangladesh Air Force.

The contract was awarded through two international tenders advertised on 22 and 23 October 2017 by the Directorate General Defence Purchase (DGDP).

The Bangladesh Air Force and Rosoboronexport arms supply agency of Russia will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for Heavy Multi-Role Combat Aircraft very shortly. The combat aircraft are capable of performing air-to-air, air-to-surface, maritime strike and reconnaissance roles.

weird, just a month ago we signed a deal with china for J-10C and now this? Do we even have the money to maintain that many platforms?

No details are available but this could be BAF evaluation for getting medium rang air defense system .

thats the search radar vehicle of LY-80E sam system..

 

[Tanveer666]

thats the search radar vehicle of LY-80E sam system..

No S350?

 

[monitor]

thats the search radar vehicle of LY-80E sam system..

If true then it's clear Bangladesh air force is considering LY-80 as their medium range air defense solution.

A privious visit by our defense delegates.

I have seen that masked photo in the year 2012 or 2013. bdmilitary posted that photo saying that this is a pre-shipment inspection. So ideally shipment takes 5 years by sea, accoording to bdmilitary.

Another story here:

In the year 2017, BAF find it very hard to justify $60 million dollar per Su-30SME, now all of a sudden BAF can justify 8X Su-35, 16x MiG-35 and 16X J-10C.

Let's calculate. $720 million for MiG-35 (assuming overpriced than Egypt. $45m/MiG), $800 million for J-10C (Assuming overpriced than J-10B, $50m with full suite of electronics & ground support), $880 million for Su-35 (comparing price with Indonesian Su-35, $110 million/Su-35)

Sum up $800m+$800m+$720m = $2.32B just for the fighter jets.

Any idiot can post anything in "brag book". That doesn't mean that Bangladesh signs contracts with billions of dollar every months. Bangladesh has $3.2B budget in a year.

Let bdmilitary supply rice and lantils to DGDB and post few fake news. These fake news are called patritism. You need think about national security and strategic defence for 160 million people. Don't tell me, have faith on few idiots who doesn't know what they are doing because ground reality tells otherwise.

I am against any war but I am in favor of deterence. $3.2B is a lot of money if you carefully plan and execute those plan.

$67B GDP threathens the national security of $220B GDP. That tells lot of stroy and ground reality of "having faith on idiots"

BTW, G2G signs MoU. DGDP goes to tender, evaluate tenders and sign contract. DGDP does not sign MoU.

I couldn't say it any better.

i thought the russians didn't offer us SU-30SME's in the first place.

 

[帅的一匹]

Is there any possibility that BAF turns for Su35 after Myanmar ordered Su30?

And J10b/c is coming as an independent
Goverment to goverment deal(soft loan or military aid).

Some one in BAF section said BAF is gonna retire those old Mig-29 directly from its inventory, make the Mig-35 deal highly uncertain.

If I were the chief of BAF, I will go for Su35 and J10AESA combo.

Make bangs for those bucks!
