Well at the end he and bunch of trolls and "so called critics" win. For now at least.
The tiny steps they are taking with limited budget like new bases, new type of shelter, MRO plant with assistance of Ukrainian and Saudis and aerospace university indicate that they will maintain a sizable amount of fighter jets and other aircraft with self sufficiency in future. But for now they could counter the situation with procurement of J-10/JF-17/Mig-35/Su-30 or old/new Mig-29 SMT/M2 from Russia/Malaysia. Later build the training fleet with both eastern/western/indigenous trainers and simulators so that we won't have to suffer this kinda crisis in future.
Could be both or most likely the latter. Budget and other external matter is also the factor. I gave up already and don't care anymore. Let them buy whatever and whenever they want.
Who is our friend actually? NO ONE! BD is a teeny-tiny overpopulated country which is not full of resources and has less importance than it's neighbors to the world. China supports Myanmar, you will only get their support to counter India, Russia and USA etc will not support you instead of your neighbors.
You gotta kiss Trump's *** if you want their best stuff with full weapon package. Even if you can buy western stuff you will only procure them in limited number. So at the end you gotta knock at China, Russia's door for fighter jet, SAM, submarine and other things. This will keep going until you have enough money to throw around and capability to build it yourself. It's Bangladesh's fault if they can't play cards during negotiation and issuing tender. You wanna be important or have influence on others, build yourself like Japan/ S.Korea/ Singapore or Israel.
You think govt cares about rohingya issue or what India thinks about our submarine purchase? Check who got the contract for sub base construction and think again. We are our own enemy here. We take time and have to little money to spend.
That camo is not like our army's BDU. And not all of their purchase is similar to ours. Consider their purchase as counter move against ours. Both party do that and buys weapons from mostly Russia and China.
We prayed enough, that doesn't work. Action, policy and money work better than prayer. You want patience for what? Are all these JF-17, Su-30, upgraded Mig-29, frigate and sub not enough for you?
