BAF put out a new tender for the overhaul/upgradation for 4xMig-29 aircraft.
The bidders has been asked to provide bids on multiple options on dealing with the aircraft ranging from giving them a basic overhaul to upgrading the jets to mig-29SM. Overhaul is due for 2019.
The upgrade packages suggest the sinlge seater aircraft to be upgraded to carry r-77 missiles, r-27t1 missiles, kh-31 antiship missiles, and to have provisions to use r-27T1 missiles for the Mig-29UB. R-27T1 missiles will give the mig-29UB somewhat of a BVR capability

What's going on here guys?

Good question as there was a tender last year to overhaul all 8 Mig-29s.

Something just does not seem right with BAF.

 

[Avicenna]

Yea man seriously. WTF?

None of this makes sense.

They have reduced the tender by 50% presumably to save money to buy a squadron of Micky mouse birds for aerobatics. BAF knows priorities more than us mere mortals.

Okay the thing is they didn't send those because of Rohingya issue in 2017. why don't you guys realise they cannot afford to send all 8 MiGs to overseas at the same time? Half of them will remain for operational requirements. This is always the case during any overhauling. No country stands down their entire fighter fleet for upgrading in one go.

Can you give me a source it says our Migs were in firing position at the event of Rohingya? Dont make fiction

That's called precaution. You don't wanna accept it it's your problem. Nobody is stupid enough to overhaul their best fighter fleet in overseas while your aggressive neighbor killing people, violating air space, creating bunker and taking position near border. Will they do anything by announcing it??

BDAF if stupid enough to do anything including making a very fat guy as its chief.

how many times do you want to overhaul bondhu!?
four of them had their first overhaul in ukraine.... the other four are left....
three overhauls per aircraft with a 10 year gap approx on each

Yea man seriously. WTF?

None of this makes sense.

read reply to Ukbengali bro!

fat dude did the background work whose results the new chief will implement....
fat dude had to buy f7bgi... establish sam units... buy simulators... buy transport aircrafts... buy helicopters... buy trainer aircrafts ( and lots of it) to keep the thing alive..... i don't blame the fat dude anymore.

I think BAF must consider all the negative aspects of buying Russian planes. Even BAF has to pay a very large amount of dollar for the maintenance of our Mig-29.


As far as I remember Russia also bled India when the latter bought its first aircraft carrier. Russia changes mind depending upon the weakness of its client. It is only China that can see eyeball to eyeball with Russia. But, previously it was different even with China.

Typhoon is the way to go.
