Bangladesh Air Force

[F-6 enthusiast]

Here comes the incoming praise how j10 is so advanced and a much better choice than f16 and gripen for single engined fighter tender

The gripen has exceptional EW warfare capabilities and datalink making it effective even without AWACs.
Not sure if this guy is a paid gripen shill, but if what he claims is true then the gripen is certainly better.

More discussion has been done in this sub-forum about what's best for BAF than within BAF itself.

Defseca back with their "Country X vying to appease Bangladesh" theme.

F-35 failed to meet the standards set by BAF

A few years ago BD buying EFT would have been a dream..... now we are talking about potentially EFT/Grippen mix for BAF.....


Maybe we are all collectively loosing the plot alongside BAF after a year of lockdown

For the money gripen is a no brainer. The money that buys us 16 EFT will buy us 34 gripens. Given 50 percent availability rate, it’s already at an advantage against Indian rafale and sukhoi on numerical advantage atleast with what they have deployed in the eastern command. Remember their eastern asset cannot be all allocated against us. They have China in the north

Agree with everything but the red bit.
We should never assume that India would have to simultaneously engage at multiple fronts.
Pakistan and China will never take military action to protect Bangladesh, meaning India can always divert resources from any part of India while engaging Bangladesh.

In other words, even neutralising the entire eastern commands of Indian Armed Forces would not be enough to protect BD.

We need numbers to be able survive and retaliate against Indian aerial and artillery onslaughts.

A combination of 100+ fighters, LRSAMs, MRSAMS, SRBMs, GMLRS, land attack cruise missiles (launched from land, sea and air) and unguided artillery can protect us.

Yes but BD will never go to war with india, unless there is some reassurance of backup from china. Nor will BD go against Indian interest unless it gets some form of reassurance form China. That means either a) the Chinese will militarily intervene b) cause enough chaos that significant indian assets are deployed at India china border so that they are not used against BD.

BD is not isreal. Not for the next 10 years.

But she will do well to follow the aggressive Israeli approach to national defense.

War does not work like that. You don't plan and agree with stakeholders in advance to check whether the war fits in their future calenders.
China will assure dick as they have a common sense policy of non-intervention.

India would not be foolish enough to attack Bangladesh at a time when things are already tense with another neighbour. In other words, when India attacks, we will be completely on our own until the UN/West intervenes after prolonged deliberations. The idea is to hold India at bay until the UN intervenes.

Being the Israel of South Asia is Bangladesh's only resort.

That’s assuming bd will go to a war with India, the only likely scenario is bd joining the Chinese when india tries to strong arm us and annex bd. Bd’s engagement with India will only happen as a matter of existential crisis. Not what you see regularly happening betwem Pakistan and India

No, this is assuming India would attack first which by default would be an existential threat. It is certainly possible that a right wing nut like Amit Shah becomes PM and tries to "teach Bangladeshis a lesson" to appease the head bobble crowd.

In the event of aggression by India, the entire Bangladesh Armed Forces especially BAF would need to go in beast mode and be ready to detect and neturalise any moving Indian military assets in neighbouring Indian states by utilising EW&C.

This is because we cannot afford to wait until India escalates further to full on artillery and air strikes on our tiny land mass. We will inevitably lose a lot of our assets due to Indian strikes so our best bet is to do as much damage to the Indian economy and military as possible.

If Bangladesh attains the military capabilities I have proposed in post #10,624, Indian state machinery would restrain their PM and avoid confrontation with BD at all costs as we would gurantee a retaliation strong enough to kill thousands of Indians and force the Indian economy into recession.

Amit Shah becomes PM

he is going to be the next PM

"teach Bangladeshis a lesson"

its going to be more like Balakot incident. if it ever happens. They are chickenhawks

Recently MyAF conducted airstrikes against civilians at night by violating Thai airspace.

Well the capabilities BD is developing right now will definitely be able to send the Indian economy into deep recession by conducting insurgencies deep into indian territory if amit G deciedes to flex and teach bd a lesson. The way things are going, even a simple air strike by IA will send the entire country on edge, with people in BD demanding retaliation.!

The US and China should stop bickering and instead collaborate to integrate PL-15s into F-35s for BAF.
Syed Amra Khan can serve as liason to bully the US and China into submission.

India would refrain from military escalation while at the same time try to diplomatically pressure us into war against China. The world is moving to a 2 bloc system again Bangladesh will try to be neutral as long as possible but then eventually side with Chinese when threat increase is apparent

BAF also needs AEWAC planes. They should go for the Saab Erieye or Globaleye.
