Really? - they signed an order for maybe up to 23 K-8Ws last June - for some strange reason they would not reveal the number. BAF has money as it can buy trainer after trainer and the YAk-130 is not exactly cheap.

@Avicenna

Edit - BD has a total defence budget of around 4.5-5 billion US dollars when arms imports are taken into account. Other countries with defence spending at this level are Malaysia, although historically it has been higher.

You can talk about budgets and ability to afford things until the cows come home.

In the end, show me the aircraft parked on Bangladeshi soil.

My response was to say that it is not an affordability issue per se.

More a question of strategic thinking and general competence.

Who knows man.

It’s a sad state of affairs.

I am sure that the people who are supposed to be strategic "thinkers" at BAF never considered anything apart from Russian/Chinese options till the US sanctions on Russia were put in place.
BN has been planning to incorporate Western sensors into their next-gen frigates ever since the Rohingya crisis of 2017 from all I have heard and read, maybe that was their plan all along.
It seems really strange that BD has one arm that seems to be so less competent than the other two. There may be some good reason this is the case that we armchair generals do not know about.

Interesting video of BAF helicopter pilots serving in UN mission in congo. I assume they are from BAF rather than BA.

This might be a stupid question but is it possible for BD to have Indigenous air capabilities by 2050?

No.

tell me why an airforce needs more than 4 squadron trainers when their offensive squadrons are less than 2 and goal is to have around 5 squadrons of varying roles? shalara trainer kinte kinte din katabe

at most good UAV tech... and if the setup at Lalmonirhat becomes a major aviation industry, perhaps something with TOT but not something completely indigenous

Because BD has a bunch of pilot without fighter.s So they bought trainer to keep them in the sky.

also years of stagnation resulted in loss of quality pilots
