Bangladesh Air Force

[UKBengali]

J-10B estimated price is 40M-45M reasonable, it is not about AESA/thrust vector and whatever, China is reliable when it comes to spares, modernization and rectification of any faults, russian are notorious. Also China is ahead in AESA game compared to russians.

BD may decide to skip J-10B altogether and buy J-31 next decade.

I have a feeling that the Awami League government will spend the current funds on buying Russian planes - probably Mig-35.

Next decade if BD has 50 mig 29/35 and 100 J-31s, then it would provide some fight to whatever Indian air force has by then.

Keeping a small relevant highly modern Air Force is ideal but still if Project 301/J-31 ever makes it to production BAF can't afford 100, maintaining stealth aircraft is costly affair post 2025 small batches and eventually ending up with couple of squadrons is possible but again it would take toll on BAF Budget.

Would you like to make some serious points for once rather than trolling?

Today BD has 8 old Mig-29s and India has 300 SU-30/ Mirage 200 and Mig-29.

Next decade if BD has 50 mig 29/35 and 100 J-31s, then it would provide some fight to whatever Indian air force has by then.

BD has no wish to fight India but it needs to be ready for any eventuality.

Chk your nos. & than ask me to get SERIOUS!!!

Will your brother China give it for FREE??? you have not have total 100 nos. in fighters even after 40 years but the next decade will bring a MIRACLE!!!

Nope.

4. India disintegrated into 30 independent states.

No Bhangra Desh just got drowned in BoB!!!

Why do you say that BD cannot afford 100 J-31s?

BD economy is already 180 billion dollars and projected to grow 6-7% a year till 2030.

BD defence budget, when taking arms imports, is OK at 2% of GDP.

If BD orders J-31 then deliveries are likely to to take place between 2025-2030. Payments would stretch during the delivery phase. Once payments have ceased then the money would be avaible to maintain them.

BD can afford 100 J-31 as it would have only maybe 50 other fighters in its airforce.

yes it is about AESA/thrust vector issue, those are new techs. and what did you say ? china is ahead in AESA ? any reference to claim ? china is still working on AESA

Apart from maybe 50 other fourth generation fighters, BD would need to buy and maintain the 100 J-31s only.

Deliveries will probably take place between 2025-2030. At projected growth rate, BD economy is likely to grow to 500 billion dollars in 2030 in today's money.

BD economy is not 180 billion, it is 160 billion. correct yourself

Since we are talking about purchasing aircraft, shouldn't we take the PPP value into account? GDP is USD 418 billion in PPP

The question is, why do you need to spend so much on fighter jets anyway?
India, Pakistan and China have to spend because they all face the prospect of war, on multiple fronts in case of india and China. Whereas, there is very little possibility of Bangladesh ever getting mixed up in a war with their only large neighbour India, Unless you are a false flagger or one of those idiots who still symphatise with the pakistanis (despite the fact that they buthchered so many of your people in 1971), and dream of joining them in war against India. In which case, you are in a small minority and irrelevant in terms of your defense planning.

Well BD government says GDP/capita is 1180 dollars. Multiply by 150 million population and that comes to 180 billion dollars.

good point, but we actually do not because defence budget is based on nominal, not ppp

It is about maintenance the hardware the fuselage/airframe is different from 4th Gen it, the RAM coating itself costs alot. You might get J-31 for 65m but did you add complete life time costs F-16 that Pakistan bought had cost 150-160m including complete spares/support. Lets put J-31 around 175m each the total cost would reach $17.5b even if we slash it it would be around $15b. Why do you think US ordered only 195 F-22 raptors. The second largest order is from UK and followed by Turkey with 110 F-35s honestly man you can't compare BD with Turkey even by 2030. But my view is BAF might either go for downgraded PAK-FA or J-31 or similar aircraft about 32 at the most. Very slim chances of War with hindustan by than UN would be active to stop conflict with-in a week or less.
