Bangladesh Air Force

[Avicenna]

If you don't mind, do you think BD needs heavy fighter like Su-30?

i think you can make an arguement for it if the need is for support for the BN in the BOB.

the range, dual engines and payload are obvious advantages.

IMO the vast majority of the BAF needs to be an adequate number of technologically advanced single seat multi role aircraft sourced from a “politically safe or at least safest source”

Are you 100% that CN will support MM in a conflict with BD?

most likely given what’s happened.

China has its interests and this will obviously effect any scenario between bd and Myanmar.

they don’t want war between the two but probably don’t care about the rohingya and probably tacitly have approval for Myanmar yo do what they did without any regard to the effect it would have in Bangladesh.

there are 1 million refugees in Bangladesh.

consider the strain on BD.

and consider that scenario and the outcry that would have resulted had this been in Europe or elsewhere where people give a damn.

As far as one is concerned china has already directly supported MM against BD. They have assisted and and continue to sheild MM at the UN.

Where defense is concerned BD should disengage with China. I do not believe china would provide any assistance either against MM or India.

BD needs to chart its own course. Strategically west is the only feasible option in that BD would have to compromise the least.

BD should focus areas such as economics, education, tourism etc when it comes to china. However strategically our interest do not align and as such we need to downgrade our relationship immediately. A friend that has not stood with us is no friend.

This is perfectly fine, every country has its own priorities. China recalibrated its priorities and deprioritised BD in favor of MM. BD is not lacking in options and must deprioritise China. The fact is this process has already started and has been reflected in key descisions being delayed.

Bottom line is BD has no friends. It must stand on its own. Fortunately we are very resilient and numerous.

The jet with the target banner has no flag or Sqn marking?

Discuss, Discuss and Discuss. Here are most ludicrous excuses Bangladeshi talk about:

Bangladesh will order aircraft after the election
If Sheikh Hasina win the election
Shody budget
If Narendra Modi approves
America will sanction if Bangladesh buys fighter jets from Russia
China didn't offer line of credit
Russia played politics during MRCA
India blocked Bangladeshi attempts to procure fighter jets
Chinese engines problem
Sheik hasina has menopause
The western countries do not want to supply Fighting aircraft to Bangladesh
Donald Trump is bad and arrogant
Vladimir Putin is a tyrant
Narendra Modi is a dictator
China and Russia veto in UN against Bangladesh proposal to condemn Myanmar
China supports Myanmar
Russia supports Myanmar


Look at above, Bangladesh failed to take responsibility and accountability of the issue. Blame everyone except themselves. Reality is Bangladesh Air Force is a band of morons.

Your assertion is inaccurate. BDs fully accept BAFs failure and mismanagement. Other issues are discussed as additional reasons for its woeful performance but no one is in any doubt the reasons lies with its inept management.

China never choose Myanmar but becos the important oil line from China to Myanmar is at rakhine state. That is our lifeline. It will be protected at all cost. If the Bangladesh share a border with China and oil line is built at there, of cos we will protect our interest but unfortunately, sorry BD. You don't have border with China which makes you loose out.

Western is not interested to help BD develop. Their project fee are very expensive and overprice. They just want to leech as much as possible from any infrastructure project you work with them. It will be the same as military procurement. While China is different, some of the military deal will seen as expanding China influence and steep discount given or tie tiej infrastructure deal to keep price low. BD do not have much choice since you are still a USD300 billion economy.

Myanmar is more important geopolitically than Bangladesh to China no doubt.We Bangladeshis understand this & don't have any bad feelings against China for it.
However, it's your wholehearted support for the savage junta that gave rise to anti China sentiments in BD.
China could have reined in Myanmar in the Rohingya issue.You have that influence.
That would have improved your image not just in BD & the Muslim world, but also all over the world.People would have looked to China as a mediator, a counter against imperialistic west led by US.

But you did nothing & instead supported a barbaric regime while they killed, raped & tortured their own countrymen.

Yea maybe so about China.

But they are protecting their interests.

What is Bangladesh doing about its?

So far BD has failed miserably.

In this world, might makes right.

Unless BD develops its military capability, it will have little to no relevance in the world.

China could protect it's interest AND rein in Myanmar.But refused to do so & was against BD in every step in this issue.

On BD, we have failed because of our ineptitude & idiotic views regarding foreign relations & will probably continue to fail if current trend continues.
BD needs to introspect hard & question the choices it made that led to it currently standing alone.

And may I just say what a bullshit philosophy "Friendship to all, malice to none" is in current world?
Instead it should be "Speak softly & carry a big stick."
