Thankfully this acquisition will take our C-130 fleet to 10.

4 - C130 B (Not going anywhere atleast for another decade)

5 - C 130 J

1- C130 H

we have

3 An 32 C

3 LET 410 E

&

52 Mi 17
12 Bel 212
4 AW 139
2 AW 119
4-6 Bell Jetranger helis.

Total 16 fixed wing aircraft around 70 Helicopters. Not bad. Not Bad at all.

Keep up the acquisition. A complete Para Infantry brigade demands a complete transport package.

Cheers

I thought it was 3 LETs.

Also where is the C-130H coming from?

Also also I didn't realize we had so many Mi-17/171!

United States of A

United States of A

Why a lone C-130H?

That number of Mi-17 and Mi-171's seems to be a typo to me.....

Well after years of talk & talk, that's what US agreed to. AF walas are amazing.

Yes, it was. But not for long. Maybe.

But man when we are going to get 10 squadron of fighters? Or is this number highly exaggerated? @Arthur

10 squadron??!!

They couldn't even buy a single one in last 10 years. 10 squadron is a pipedream now.

I doubt they could even field 5 by 2030.

It's a disappointment. We need to make our airforce stronger!

because that's what daddy considers us worthy of buying. 1 single frame

Well there was a underhanded reason for them to do that. They wanted BAF to throw some business toward US defence companies.

Instead of buying more airframes, they wanted BAF to go to some private companies for life extension upgrade to those 4 B models in service.

After repeatedly getting rejected, BAF bought few new engines & spares for the airframes, overhauled the 4'th B airframe & put it back to service. All 4 airframes went through extensive overhauling to keep them flying for 8-10 years. All the overhauling were done in Malaysia, most probably between 2010-'15.

BAF succeeded in buying the J models, just because RAF was desperate to get rid of them & BAF was desperate for newer airframes. Got a good deal though.

Sounds like you're complaining to vacuum of black holes.

Did you ask Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Mitsubishi or Embraer to submit RFI or RFP to Bangladeshi procurement department or DGDP?
I still don't know why Bangladesh is always stuck in cheap Excess Defense Article? It takes very long time to settle access defense article because those items directly comes from military then defense contractors decommission them and put on hold. Some excess defense articles are put on sale list in advance before it is actually available for buyers.

What do you do with almost US$4 billions defense budget? Maybe massage with happy ending!!! Here is the address of foreign military sale.

Defense Security Cooperation Agency

Washington, DC 20301-2800

This is how it works. Alternatively, contact Lockheed Martin and ask them to supply military transport aircraft. Lockheed Martin will take care of everything. It took India to learn several years how American Foreign Military sale works. Now they know how to deal with it. Arabs are very special case when comes to American Foreign military sale.
Good Luck.
