Hope the pilot is safe, never good sight...

When did this crash happen? On the ground it says "some exercise 2018"

I am talking against fully depending on BVR missiles, I am not saying that BVR missiles should not be fired. My point is it is not a sure success and people love to believe it is invincible.

I believe that three-layer land-based missile batteries may have a better chance with a greater number of missile stocks. Some of these missiles will also go astray and will not hit the planes but there will be a continuous barrage of missile attacks until the enemy planes are repulsed.

Note also the missile batteries are not always placed in fixed points. It also can be placed on four-wheel vehicles that will be on move during an attack. Enemy planes cannot easily target moving vehicles. BVR/planes are too expensive but land-based missile batteries are not.

I agree with your line of thought

Bangladesh Air Force to receive Chinese made Wing Loong-II MALE UAV according to Chinese media...

Bangladesh Air Force is about to get the delivery of Wing Loong-II UCAV which was tendered in 2017.

The competitors were CH-4B and Turkish Byrakter TB-2 and finally Wing Loong-II won the tender.

Translation of news- Bangladesh Air Force to receive Chinese pterosaur 2 drone

Libyan battlefield Chinese Pterodactyl-2 reconnaissance and combat integrated drones have completely suppressed Turkey's Bayraktar TB2 drones, which also constituted an overwhelming advantage in the international drone market. First, Indonesia rejected the Bayraktar TB2 drone to choose the Chinese CH-4 drone, and now there are news that the Bangladesh Air Force UAV project also eliminated the Bayraktar TB2 drone, and the Chinese Wing Long 2 drone won.

In 2017, the Bangladesh Air Force proposed the Medium- and Long-Term Aircraft Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (MALE) project, requiring the purchase of a new generation of reconnaissance and combat integrated drones. In order to improve the Bangladesh Air Force's reconnaissance, surveillance and intelligence capabilities, these drones are also required to be used for non-traditional combat operations, so that the Bangladesh Air Force can deal with diversified threats.

Bayraktar TB2 and WL2 are not at same class. TB2 is a Tactical UAV while WL2 is MALE class. You need to compare ANKA S with WL2 but of course ANKA is expensive.

BTW there is no overwhelming or suppress over TB2 that is chineese propaganda, in libya one side has Fighter aircrafts ,AD systems and drones other side only had TB2s . so they are able to shot down TB2s.

Not Bayraktar TB2, TAI offered their Anka, including Anka S. But the price is premium!!!

Anka for Indonesia? [ID18D1]

In an obvious push to further promote its flagship medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to Indonesia, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI, Stand A050M, Turkey pavilion) has a full-sized model of its Anka on display here at the show.

Proudly sitting in the corner of Hall B1, the aircraft is here just three months after TAI announced it is seeking opportunities to collaborate with Indonesian industry in order to pitch Anka for a local tender.

TAI has said it will modify the system as needed to meet any specific requirements Indonesia may have, and will do so by incorporating local suppliers into the supply chain. This co-operation will not be limited to UAVs, but will also be open to other potential markets and requirements.

Anka is being displayed with its satellite communications capability, as well as a weapons fit including Roketsan’s 22kg MAM-L Smart Micro Munition. The UAV has a 17.3m wingspan, a 200kg payload capacity, and an endurance of some 24 hours.

Ex Royal Air Force Lockheed C-130J C.5 ZH882 towed from the mechanical bay into the paint shop to receive the Bangladesh Air Force markings (presumably, 99-5480, S3-AGG). It is the third of five ex RAF C.5 aircraft destined for Bangladesh.

BANGLADESH OFFICIALLY INTERESTED IN THE DASSAULT AVIATION RAFALE.

A few years ago, such information would have been a joke. At the end of the official trip to Bangladesh by Mrs. Florence Parly, Minister for the Armed Forces, it was clearly indicated that this Asian country was considering the acquisition of a batch of ten Dassault Aviation Rafale combat aircraft . The French jet would allow this small air force to make a real technological leap forward . A purchase which would be part of a Bangladeshi logic of modernization of its military aviation .

It was from Sunday 8 to Monday 9 March 2020 that the French minister was in Bangladesh. The opportunity for her to meet the highest officials of this Asian country such as Mrs. Sheikh Hasina, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. Ms. Parly was able to officially present a French proposal around the fighter plane. In fact the local authorities have been interested for several months in the Dassault Aviation Rafale .

It would be for the Bangladeshi aviation to modernize in depth through fifteen copies of the French omnirole hunter. We are talking about twelve Rafale C single-seaters and three Rafale B operational transformation two-seaters . Planes that would effectively replace the oldest Chengdu F-7s of Chinese origin in service for around thirty years.
Above all this logic of all-round modernization of the Bangladesh Air Force began four years ago with the delivery of advanced training and tactical support Yakovlev Yak-130 jets purchased in Russia. It continued with the sale by the United Kingdom of C-130J Super Herculessecond hand, but still having very good potential. The Rafale would therefore be the icing on the cake.

Like the negotiations with Indonesia, these talks, which begin in Bangladesh, demonstrate that France has not given up selling its omnirole hunter. The Rafale has arguments, it is combat proven , and above all it is appreciated by the pilots who fly on it.
Witness the tripartite duel he is leading in Finland .
A sale of fifteen Rafales to Bangladesh would be truly historic. This country has in fact used only a few French aircraft in its history apart from Alouette III and CM.170 Magister . His army currently has two Dolphins 2 .

No EFT is better..... buy british

I wonder how it is possible to claim that BAF will induct french planes. Only a few days ago its minister of military visited BD. How come Rafael has been finalized? Traditionally BD has better trade and diplomatic relationship with Britain than with France. Either we buy British or American planes.

I don't think it has been finalized per se, but rather both parties have shown interest about the procurement

Not happening. Airforce officials said, French are interested in selling but this aircraft wasn’t in their consideration at all. Regardless BAF is not interested in rafale

Any source for that?

That this in even in the realm of possibilities is progress.

That being said, Eurofighter or SuperHornet all the way!
