Bangladesh Air Force

[The Ronin]

only 4 out of 18 Su30MKI of Royal malaysian airforce can fly.

That's not Russia's fault. RMAF can't maintain it.

Typhoon is the way to go.

Far too expensive for a country like BD.

You are looking at nearly 4 billion US dollars for a single squadron of 16 planes. Add in the relatively high operation cost for a twin engine plane and BAF will not be able to buy another fighter for 5 years at least.

Gripen E is a much better fit for BAF as it's unit cost is 1/3rd cheaper than Typhoon and costs much less to operate.

Guys no Western jets will join BAF in the near future. The numbers just don't add up.

The goverment won't dish out billions of dollars for fighter jets when funding any major development project is still a struggle for us. Let us not dwell in Bdmilitary's brain farts.

Dude, Gripen E is no more expensive than either Russian or Chinese planes.

Let us see what BAF goes for next year.

J-10 is coming for sure. BD can still operate 8 Typhoon along with j-10. Biman just bought 3 dash this month for more money than Typhoon.

Binman will earn money from the planes it buys.

Not sure what the point of just 8 Typhoon would be.

BAF should aim for at least 2-3 squadrons of each fighter type.

I dont think bd is looking for anything more than a squadron in heavy fighter class. Biman is a loosing concern.

russian after servie sucks and charge very high price, only 4 out of 18 Su30MKI of Royal malaysian airforce can fly. they haf been bled white by russians.
actually Royal malaysia airforce wanna call helps from China to maintian those SU30mkm, but Sukhoi strongly protest agianst it.

and 10 out of 10 Malaysian airforce Mig29N are grounded. thats a disaster.

They flew them excessively... drained the life out of those birdies and do not have proper deal or people in place for maintenance. Maybe these issues also add up to Bangladesh’s procurement delays

Same. I don’t believe the reports of BAF interested or plans to buy those tbh

The latest theory being propagated is "Wait until after the elections and watch BAF re-map the global geo-political landscape with their procurements."

We will see.

Sounds kind of like "Eid-er por andolon" @Mage.

 

[ghost250]

According to some sources,BAF has ordered 8 more yak-130..they will join our fleet very soon..

They should buy another 50 and train Indian and Burmese pilots as well in exchange of $$.

Indonesia outsourcing the overhaul and maintenance of her flanker fleet to Belarus. So far so good no problem happened.

Dont forget, MKM is kinda special because using lot of western Nav. Systems and components like Sagem Safran Nav., iff transponder and other stuff.
