There is a good probability to induct C17 in the fleet.
 
Quite hard to get. They are just too good in what they do. BAF can try for Kawasaki C2 , quite similar to C17

C-2 is too costly and carry half the payload of C-17. A-400 can carry more, cheaper and we already have experience on purchasing from Europe. It can even land on beach. ;) So if C-17 is not possible then perhaps A-400M will come. But i would choose IL-76 if i wanna carry more and close to what C-17 can.

Bangladesh seems to be interested more in Western transports i.e. C-130H/J, C-17, or now A400 rather than older Il-76 or the new and still yet unexported Y-20.

And there are good reasons behind it. Western transport aircraft are simply much more capable & reliable.

And spares are not hard to find since these platforms shares many components with civilian aircraft. Sanctions are not a problem if you want to keep your C130 flying.


But of course all this is just rumors. BAF don't require that much lifting capacity & the current demand can be meet with Super Hercules.
