Bangladesh Air Force

BAF is a defensive force. First line of defense in fact. Similar to PAF doctrine.

But that doesn't mean one has to stay within one's territory. To win a war, one has to take it to the enemy.



Now why would I ban you? :D

Not really. PAF is the most aggressive arm of the Pakistan Armed Forces (the three services). In all wars PAF have shown agression and have done pre emptive strikes against Indian assets. And thats perfect role of an Air force of a country which is small in size. Thats exactly the role that BAF should take up.

A small size is a real disadvantage and thats why the Pakistani planners are so obsessed with strategic depth. They are smart and they know the limitations of a small country. If you fight a defensive war in your own country airports can be bombed in no time.

Well as they say Mods se na dosti acchi hai aur na hi dushmani :angel:
 
Low observable aircraft, superior avionics, superior radar are the way to the future.

Apart from that, there are many other ways for Bangladesh to move upwards. As someone rightly said: "It's the economy, stupid."

By the way, how do you think the J-31 measures up to the F-35 and others? I understand China intends to market that plane mainly for export.

your have good economic development,keep it,Bangladesh will stronger.

J-31 is power than F-35 as figher,F-35 more like a attacker.
J-31 is not a best one ,but must be a best Cost-effective one.
I dont know info about FGFA,It maybe powerful ,maybe.
at least looks with higher observable.

Its Different.

PAF own Strategic depth and topography.

Can yu elaborate on what you mean by different and how does it impact BAF strategy vs what is used by PAF. Also define what according to you is the primary objective of BAF. if they try to fight the defensive war in their country they are doomed. India will simply bomb every BAF airbase in the very first hour of hostilities if BAF doesn't strike first and does punitive hits against airbases in the north east India.

Considering the fact that PAF has much much favorable topography (consisting of mountain ranges) while Bangladesh is mostly a flat land where Indian radars can see through and through except the eastern part of the country which has some hills.

PAF never worry about his base be attack by Indian land army,but BAF cant because Bangladesh area is too small.
 
Yeah...might be. We started our navy back in 72 with one boat donated by india, now look at our navy. Similarly we started our air force with some crap back then, it now maintains 160 fighters. Once we might be able to house 400 4/4.5 gens fighters as well.

Are you sure BAF has 160 operational fighters in her inventory.
 
If I can understand correctly then as per the list BAF has following fighters:

Mig-29 8
F-7 42
A-5 7
Total 57

Where are rest of 103 planes.

lol he was mixing it up with trainner and other old plane i guess , but dont worrie bangladesh armys are good enough to hit anyone back with what they have , its like if u can remember against india they killed 2 of bangladesh border guard and they killed 20 of them
 
Why you want buy Su-30?

A AWE lead 15 JF-17s powerful than 10 Su-30s for small and defensive country.

Su-30 Advantages are long Range and Load Ability ,useful for you ?

Delhi is far away from Dhaka :) .
 
BD is on its way with SAM coverage..... Low altitude coverage may be achieved now, BD I understand is now seeking mid-altitude coverage. High altitude coverage would obviously follow....

I hope BD also seeks and achieves indiginious production capacity in this regard.
 
No, IAF wil not bomb the BAF ground assets, because these are protected by three layers of SAM. All other nonmilitary assets are also being taken under SAM protection step by step. Expensive IAF toy planes bought with India's poor men's money will be annihilated in no time like popcorn.

IAF will do exactly that bomb both military installations and civilian areas for a small Nation to surrender.

Although low level SAMs systems Chinese ones are being procured but are less in number the medium and high level is something Tri Arm needs to purchase incrementally in years to come.

The military is progressing with the procuring of short and medium range SAMs before it buys long range ones. It has a definite programme to put all the vital civilan and military installaions under SAM protection, since BAF still lacks even the least number of planes that can defend the country's airspace, let alone fly and strike the enemy installations.

India or any enemy country cannot make our military or people surrender just by bombing from the sky and destroying buildings. Its troops have to enter through our border, fight and defeat us on the watery, marshy and slippery ground to make us surrender, and they will have the bloodiest nose to try such a thing. Note one thing. Enemy troops cannot move their tanks inside our muddy country, because these will bog down. Even their rescue cranes will also bog down. So, the enemy troops can only be supported by artillery and sky-bombing. Do you think, it is feasible?
