Good stuff, might be handy for hunting birds in this age

@animelive, What about them?

It is extremely unlikely if the Chinese can export the J-10 anytime soon.

Additionally, it's export profile may be similar to that of the F-15 Eagle. Not everyone would be able to get their hands on such a machine.

DO we have any other choice. The deal for Yak is signed from which there won't be a scope of turning back i think. Now our best bet lies with 24/32 AESA mig29 and may be if the wallet allows can go for 16/32 J10s beyond 2020 giving a divergence in supply chain. Highly unlikely though.

Bangladesh air force need some of these:

I would i
say it isn't necessary because bangladesh airspace its small.

Yes it is. It will give us better BVR capability in combat.

BVR capability really isn't as useful as it seems. All of the fighters usually end up in a dogfight.

Bro, AEW&C will bring us some time to plan against air attack and AEW&C can scan lot of air space then a fighter.

Detailed negotiations for the deal involving $1 billion of credit to Bangladesh will take place this spring, said Rosoboronexport Deputy Chief Viktor Komardin."The purchase of Yak-130 warplanes is a very significant subject of negotiations between Russia and Bangladesh," he said during his visit to the 5-day show, which ended last Saturday.Russia granted Bangladesh a $1 billion arms purchase credit during the visit of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed to Moscow in January when she met Russian President Vladimir Putin. Komardin, who led the Rosoboronexport delegation to Malaysia, said Russian manufacturers want "cooperation in all areas, including the transfer of technology, assembly under license, (development of) hardware maintenance centers and joint research and development programs."

there is a rumor of UAV in the deal or the transfer of tech from Russia to Bangladesh to develop own UAV

Majority of air-to-air engagement were WVR during the Gulf War

AWACS or AEW&C is good to collect information on the enemy movements across the border because it is placed at a high altitude from where its radar can see all these enemy activities. This is more true for a small country like BD. From within its border AWACS radars can do the job. AWACS is also useful to direct BVR missiles in wars, but @animelive is correct to state that although all the rich countries are trying to develop BVR capability, but it is not that helpful in real wars.

BVR is progressively being developed since after 2nd WW, but the past records show it has very limited effects in real wars. Only a few killings have been made so far. Rather, the heat seeking closer missiles and finally dogfights with machine gun fires remain the main weapons to annihilate enemy planes.

exactly. BVR isn't dependable option yet and the little part it played in the previous wars weren't as pleasant as expected either.

You are very right to say that BVR is not that dependable. When the BVR radar locks on an enemy plane to fire a missile, the latter's radar warns the pilot. A duly trained pilot will make only a small side sway or vertical maneuvering of his plane, it will fail the incoming missile to hit the target. More than 30 seconds are available for the enemy pilot, which is quite a long time for a speedy jet plane.
