the order won't be for more than 10 aircrafts and i don't see it increasing, as those will replace migs not f-7s as they are almost new.Purely my guess.

All F7 will be phased out. So certainly 48.

Why ISPR made him fool? আমরা এর তেব্র প্রতিবাদ জানাই। ঈদের পরে আন্দোলন!!

Lol that pilot is getting court martialled... what you’re on about... some 20+yo posted his training photos in stories and then that spread like wildfire... until it was removed on his request, not before him getting reported to the cyber division though.

I have admired the Antonov An-2 (and it's Chinese licensed brother the Nanchang/Shijiazhuang Y-5) biplane ever since my laid my eyes on one at an airshow earlier in my life.
This is probably the best designed utility (bush) aircraft ever (and Cheaper as well), compared to the classic, the Canadian DeHavilland Otter. A superb bush plane (due to the biplane's insanely low wing-loading), and because it uses the Soviet/Chinese copies of the DC-3's wright radial 9 cylinder engine (both of which are simple to maintain and as reliable as rocks), and because it stalls at about 30 miles per hour, you cannot CRASH the darned thing because it will simply FLOAT down to the ground hands off.
Thousands are still in use in insane out of the way places (some in Alaska as well).
If there was a safe airplane this is it. IMHO we should have gotten a few to train our pilots and for para-jump duties (the PLA Airforce uses these for that purpose). This is what it looks like below. I know - kind of ugly. But the story gets better.
Much loved by the pilots - there were early attempts to 'improve' performance by fitting a turboprop.
This is the AN-3 model,
Some also came with floats (perfect for Bangladesh situation)...
But the best news I saved for last, that a brand new design of this aircraft is going to be serially built by the Helicopter plant at Ulan-Ude, the same place we get our Mi-17's from. The new aircraft has wings and fuselage completely re-designed by a company called SiBNIA and Ulan-ude will build these out of composites and will be even lighter than the one built out of duralumin built back in the 50's. Below is an image of a deeply modified An-2m with all new composite wings and tail, Honeywell TPE331-12UAN engine (very common and safe) with 5 bladed prop by Hartzell Propeller (also common and safe). Some images and videos.
Kamov Ka-62 had a maiden flight last month. Russian equivalent to the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk. With Fenestron a la Dauphin and Harbin Z-9. The helicopter is in the 6-7 ton take-off weight class.
