quantitaive maybe but qualitative... i doubt that... given what i saw in reccent fight with pakistan... i actually expected india to do really good... not that it benefits me in any way. but i thought their pilots have matured and become as good as pakistans but now i realize they still have their ego...
eh well...
idk why the 35s... tbh 30s are decent enough if establishing a maritime strike is all, they're buying that for...

In a highly asymmetrical competition, like in the case of IAF & BAF (if such competition exists), the bigger state with an accessive quantity has a higher probability of having comparative/relative quality against a smaller opponent. IAF in comparison to BAF has both quantity and quality. The reasons for IAF's bad performance against PAF are manifold. One can write a thesis on it. But I don't think those mistakes are relevant in IAF vs. BAF situation. As East Pakistan, Bangladesh produced some of the greatest fighter pilots in the region. World class, in fact. But the lack of availability of quality (& quantity) aircraft and training seems to have wasted away the potential. Anyway, with Myanmar acquiring JF-17s and Su-30 I think Hasina would find something for BAF. Whether that 'something' is going to be based on availability or BAF's requirements and preference or Hasina's own political interest would be the deciding point.

The last sentence is why I am so concerned.

As far as Bengalis in leadership positions are concerned, corruption and personal self-interest trumps all.

Dhaka previously announced a tender to purchase eight fighters for its air force

LANGKAWI (Malaysia) (UrduPoint news / Sputnik - 25th March, 2019) Russia offers its best-in-class Su-30SME (NATO reporting name: Flanker-C) and MiG-35 (NATOreporting name: Fulcrum-F) aircraft to Bangladesh in a bidding competition, Ilya Tarasenko, the vice president for military-technical cooperation at the United Aircraft Corporation, told Sputnik.

"Our countries have been cooperating for many years. The fleet of the Bangladesh Air Force consists mainly of Russian-made aircraft. We believe that our offer in the class of two-seat heavy and medium fighters of 4+ generation and this is Su-30SME and MiG-35 aircraft is the best in class," Tarasenko said ahead of the 2019 Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition, set to start on Tuesday.
