There has not been a major military training programme or a major military exercise between the two countries.
BD military officials have visited Pakistan but only for regular courses. PAF's major exercises entail joint training, joint flights, development of joint tactics, etc. There is nothing 'joint' with BAF. Besides, JF-17/FC-1 will be a completely different story. It's not just the aircraft but politics that comes with it. The Indians won't be happy with it & Shiekh Hasina cannot afford to make India unhappy. BNP might be a different story. India & Awami League would also not be comfortable in either stationing PAF pilots in BD, or sending BD pilots to Pakistan, in fear of indoctrination. China can step in. Hassina won't have much problem with that but India would. The politics of JF-17 has perhaps kept BD away from buying it. Otherwise, it is an ideal jet for the country.
I agree with your statement. JF17 was a national priority for pakistan whilst BAF does seem like a national joke. Heres hoping they turn it around.
