Bangladesh Air Force

UMAF buying "old Su-30s" is typical BS propagated by the jealous you-know-who. There is no evidence of that. Don't believe anything the master flip-flopper says without official confirmation backing it.

but what would you say about eight of our migs that we bailed on? those are now in MMaf isn't it?

Both Bangladesh and Myanmar, among other third world countries, bought surplass Fulcrums sitting ducks since the Cold War. Myanmar did not buy "our" MiG-29s. Is this another claim of his?

Myanmar bought brand new Su-30SM and it's comfirmed by Russia side. not old Su-30 being sent to Angola.

When are you getting you jf-17 delivery

When are you getting you jf-17 delivery

Some JF-17 already delivered. Rest will be delivered next year. Myanmar is already flying JF-17. In the year 2019, MAF will fly both Su-30SME and JF-17. MAF is also upgrading MiG locally with the help of Russian ally.

Any idea what holding BD airforce back? New air chief seems like a person of doers.

The reality is MyAF is leaving BAF in the dust. There is no question about that.

The question is what will be the BAF response?

Eat more rosogolla and complain with mouthful.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

BD can always compensate by hanging old BD folks, as long as there're some still alive, accusing them to be pro-Pak war criminals!!! Thus it'll be like a revenge for Jf-17s....

No clue bro. Ask BAF chief. You can't educate people who refuse to learn. AFAIK MAF is going to be formidable force by next decade.

It is widely believed(IN bdmillitary forum/fb group) that we actually ordered 16 migs in 1999 and after receiving the first 8, the newly formed BNP gov decided not to accept the delivery of the remaining 8 migs (some claim that we even had to pay the russians demurrage for not honoring the original agreement of 16 migs ). And these 8 migs were later sold to MM.
Edit: regarding the 'demurrage' BAF supposedly paid to the russains, the fella i was chatting with claimed thay we apparently paid the russians full price of the 8 migs. Im not aure how probable this 'situation' would be, (paying the price of 8 migs but not receiving them)

Thats what they said about the old chief

Generally will be held in the escrow account assigned to the deal....and BD can simply recover it there.

Or conversely (if already withdrawn by Russia), Russia would have forwarded it in some other way (say taken off from payment for other future deals).

On 23 November 2018, Bangladesh Air Guard crashed one more aircraft. This is common trend. You will see that they will blame aircraft, weather and maintenance. They will never acknowledge that poorly trained pilots who barely has few hours on actually aircraft they are supposed to fly.
Plus Bangladeshi pilots do not spend time on simulators. All modern air force pilots spend hundreds of hours on simulators if not thousands hours to practice before doing the real thing.
Add to that Russian and Chinese products are low quality and poor supply of spares and poorly maintained at their home country. Forget about the conditions at export countries.
Egyptian manage to crash brand new MiG-29M2. Again quality over quantity was choosen by Egyptian.
Think a reverse engineered bad aircraft turned into a nightmare for China AKA J-15 AKA Su-33. Chinese should have thought why Russia abandon the Su-33 before reverse engineering Su-33. J-15 crashed randomly.
Russia has limited budget and millions of projects then quality and innovation will suffer. That's what happened with Russian. So far they cancelled Su-57, T-15, Radar project, Aircraft Carrier project, Frigate project, Amphibious Assault Ship, and Submarine projects.
Nuclear missiles and ballistic missiles project chewing most of the money plus the tension with NATO, Ukraine and Georgia. Putin didn't realize that maintaining Crimea is feeding unemployed millions. Russia pays for even fresh water for Crimea.

An export customer suffers for spare, training, support and maintenance. Many examples are Su-30MKM, MiG-29K. Myanmar and India exercise sovereign rights to buy from any vendors and countries. Bangladesh is an exception. Bangladesh stick to Russia, India and China. In return Russia and China screw Bangladesh. This is the reality.
