Yeah that's what I was talking about...I've seen the contract paper. Perhaps this is what bd bought without weapons..not WL 2

What was in the contract paper? There are three tenders for UAV. Two MALE UCAV tenders and one UAV tender. The latter is for recce and artillery strike. So if the UAV you are talking about really comes then it should be for the latter one.

I hope they don't get any twin seaters , they look ugly af

They will need them for OCU.

According to here the plan is to start manufacturing the J10c at least in part indigenously

I like this. But too many variants. Migs EFT and now J-10.

Be like pakistan. Master 1 platform

Guys who would have dreamed that BAF would be buying Eurofighter only a few years ago. (And new build at that)

If true, then rejoice!!!!

This marks a significant shift for Bangladesh for a variety of reasons.

No matter what WESTERN fighter BAF purchases there will always be pros and cons.

But the key word here is WESTERN.

So lets hope this materializes.

With a purchase like this comes the training and support .I hope our pilots get training from the RAF and have a chance to participate in excercises like red flag .

Yes,

Upping the training to effectively employ these beasts is key.

I guess that is how PAF has always triumphed over its arch rival. Training and Professionalism. Not just the pilots but the maintenance crew as well

PAF is a force to be reckoned with.

As the events of Feb 27 have shown.

Bangladesh can learn alot from Pakistan in that regard.

There is much to learn from PAF.
I suspect the EFT MIGHT have been chosen due to its range and kinematic performance over the Gripen (naval strike maybe?) . It will be maintenance heavy (double engines vs single engine argument). It will be better than any Su-30 variant in terms of RCS, EW, Availability rates, supercruise and armaments. I hope this deal is finalised before the 50th anniversary of independence.
Here's Hushkit analysis of EFT vs Su-35 ( as unbiased as they get and technical ) if you have time.

at the time of the video , Meteor was not fully integrated. The AMRAAM can be fired from the EFT and the performance of AA-12 is not good when compared to the AMRAAM.

Whilst nothing is confirmed.... would love it if they confirm it on the 16th in front of modi....

Last 2 years has seen BAF delegates visit UK multiple times.... fingers crossed... for me momentous descision after the subs and karisgas....keeping fingers crossed...

 

[SpaceMan18]

Why does everyone here want EFT?

Rather have gripen with TOT

EFT will only make burma piss in its pants. Will be useless against india. In any conflict all the indians have to do is Knock out these guys and there goes BD airforce.

I Hope after these EFT, BD will get atleast 2-3 squadrons of J-10 and/or atleast an armory of strike drones with TOT

Otherwise these EFT are just shiny toys.

Yes we will get the J-10s cause again their costs are much lower and perfect for replacing our flying coffins aka F-7s. And of course it's Chinese so making deals will be much easier , hopefully we will get J-10Cs

I agree man I hope too , after this our next goal will be to start our Frigate program and find a partner quick and start building the infrastructure to support and build our next gen Frigates.

Yup, look like Bangladesh administration is piss off with latest China support on Myanmar over Rohingya issue. The road to KFX/IFX is getting bigger now

It called upon other countries to support Bangladesh in its humanitarian effort.

Yeah it was for army. So I think it's for recce and artillery strike.

Not happening before 2025 I think

I hope we can get KFX/IFX in the future. The problem is the American engine. We simply do not trust US foreign policy. Can they integrate EJ200 on the IFX/KFX ?
The only major Muslim countries that supported us with Aid and diplomatically during this crisis were Turkey , Indonesia (Jokowi visited the refugee camps) and Malaysia . At least we can rely on these countries to support us. It is essential to strenghten ties with these countries in defence and economic matters. We cannot become a pawn of either US or China in their game.
