Bangladesh Air Force

i think it was the economic impact. we just dont have the money right now to afford a war. we also need to win the media war/image. if we escalated then India and the media would just say "Pakistan are the aggressors" and our economy would have collapsed if not worse.



but Japan's navy in WW2 had aircraft carriers. you want Bangladesh to have aircraft carriers? its super expensive and losing value as technology progresses.


i dont know. maybe we have different requirements. maybe NATO pressure on Turkey not to include Pakistan.
Bangladesh doesn’t need aircraft carrier it just needs to keep sea lane open and strategic targets protected. Saint Martin should get an airfield at the least imo.
Possibly. UK is aiding turkey on TFX so maybe that’s why. Or maybe Pakistan wants to keep relations with China so developing with them
 
Bangladesh should go the Iranian way and make a load of missiles.

difficult when maximum capability we achieved is silicones, printed circuits etc
still need aerospace talents... now with that university opened up, maybe in 10-20 years some UCAV drones at best
need to buy missiles with tot... MBDA is a good missile seller to us

Agreed. Air to air, BD cant beat india. Even if BAF gets 10 squadrons with 4th gen MRCA. At best these will be effective for a week.

However if BD develops strike drone capability along with cruise missile, and anti aircraft capability, now that will be deadly. Will probable keep the IAF from initiating any conflict ij the first place. Excellent deterrenc.

Sounds like unsubstantiated gossip. Saab had no issues selling Gripens to Thailand or AEW&C systems to Pakistan (despite Indian pressure and loss of Indian business) but selling to Bangladesh would "hurt brand image"?

Makes no sense to turn down customers like that in an already competitive market. Sorry to say but many Bangladeshis have a habit of making stuff up to sound knowledgeable instead of admitting ignorance.

In the past Amra Khan "spoke to insiders" on many occasions who advised that "MiG-35 would form the backbone", "EFT is confirmed", "Chengdu is speeding up J-10 production for Bangladesh", etc.

This is bullshit . He did no such interview. Dassault wants to sell rafale , Boeing wants to sell Apache and F18 , UK offered eft and SAAB wants to observe bd economy for 2 years....LOL
Saab is not the problem...the problem is baf. They wants to replace F7's with something cheaper , not with something with a price tag of 150+ mil. And as usual they are "confused" they dont know which one to buy

NOTHING is cheaper then F7..not even trainers like yak 130
probably yak 130 is what BAF will continue to buy
IMO BAF doesnt need a fighter, there is no real threat, since IAF is always there to support
