let's hope we can obtain R-77 because we don't have any Fox-3 missiles in our inventory

Still the upgraded radar allows the R-27 to be used to their full potential at last.

If BAF does go for R-77, then I hope they ask for the long-range version that India recently brought.

I know its silly but really would have liked a new camo scheme.

They can fire R-77s, yes but I wonder if BAF is acquiring them from Russia.

R-77 the original productions suck compared to the AMRAAM which is why we saw RuAF jets using SARH long range missiles in Syria.

BAF is going to throw the biggest plot twist of the decade

By talking up EFT and then purchasing 16 HAL Tejas with an option of 32 more.

BAF are a bunch of f*gs.... joking aside I would not be surprised if they made such a descision. Between the entire BAF management there is not a single ball let alone a pair of them.

I hope the new paint used is durable unlike that of the previous scheme.

Like really though, would it have been that much more expensive just to get a new camo scheme going?

Its aesthetics but may give a sense of a new beginning.

A sort of morale boost.

Kind of like a refresh to a car design or a new coat of paint on a house or fence.

Oh well......

It's a Bangladeshi cultural thing of making things oddly colourful.
You see the same with public transport.
Marshall Airspace probably shamed BAF away from ruining the C-130J's.

India fighting two front war with pakistan and china is more likely than bd fighting india in isolation. we will not be fighting a war in isolation. Don't know if the indian leadership is foolish enough to fight a 3 front war.
Indian defence circles (not losers on a forum ) consider BD a neutral country.
listen to this guy, he speaks some sense (used to work for Jane's)

We should however maintain minimum deterrence.

Wait wait
If BD and india goes to war noone else is coming

But there is no reason for twoblong standing allies to go to war

BD amry is practically indian army now

Passive Electronically Scanned Array radar?

I tried hard to confirm but could not. There is very little info on the internet on the N019P radar that comes with the BM upgrade. The original N019 radar was an obsolete analogue-digital hybrid.

Can someone post a source confirming whether N019P is a PESA type radar?
