Bangladesh Air Force

To be honest - even L-39's can be easily modified to fit COIN roles effectively. K-8's will need gun pods and rocket pods. Guided missiles are overkill and expensive for COIN role.

sorry brother.... couldn't understand which insurgency we're talking about here...

There is no insurgency to speak of at the present time. But Hill tracts can become insurgency hotbed as seen before. There are destabilizing elements outside our country who want this of course. Insurgencies can be dealt with very effectively by air platform led COIN ops assisting ground operations (as evidenced in Vietnam).

Granted we don't have neither resources nor training of the US Marines, and the Shanti Bahini does not compare to the North Vietnamese either...

Very rare one

BAF Antonov An-26 in 1973. The picture was taken after delivery with Soviet pilots. BAF had 6xAntonov An-26 in their inventory. All of those were retired in 1996-97

BD airforce had a great start at the beginning but It could not keep up as it failed to align itself strategically in later years.

Ejection seats.

Ejection seats.

I'd like BAF to test out the ejection seats in all of their F-7s mid-flight to make sure they are in working order. This would also go a long way in assisting the modernisation process.

You are right on the BNP morons. But, what your BAL morons have done during its almost ten years in power? Nothing at all. The Burmese did not dare to expel the Rohingyas when BNP was in power. But, Burma is kicking BAL *** every now and then because its psychologists have analyzed the weak character of Hasia the talking machine.

well, an insurgency is best handled with intelligence, not the military.... this is fully possible, as such movements can't go ahead without outside interference.... investing your money behind a probable insurgency will only divert resources from powerful platforms that might have scared the **** out of competition.....
