I don't understand why they want to retire F-7MB, it's not old yet. If they wish to upgrade the fleet with new generation, that's different. I don't think BD will be able to upgrade its whole fleet to a new gen. At least these can be transferred to army and navy as all these still have lifetime.

Those MB's along with A-5's were bought back in the eighties.

So yes they are pretty old.


@british_bengali

F-7's are no longer in production. Those BGI's were the last ever to roll off Chengdu's production lines.

I'm not sure but if you investigate you may find that F-7 MBs were bought in 90s and they still have lifetime.

I do not think, BAF has already decided to discard its F-7MBs.

F-7MB has already been grounded. They have been replaced by F-7BG1

F-7MB will join the 25th Sq. along with L-39ZA.

F-7MB is completely grounded. F-7BG1 has replaced the F-7MB.

I can't agree more. I think Chengdu opened the closed factory just one last time to make those 16 F-7BG1.

Yep,It originally stopped Production in 2008.
I wonder what on earth we said to get them to reopen it again??

 

[sidr]

Any news about su-27 purchase?

Any news about su-27 purchase?

Bhai read the Thread from the start, No I Think BAF would be more inclined towards su-30 Flanker variant.

@Bamboo Castle i dislike the color scheme of Fulcrums I think something like this is more fine looking.

No, this is not. This is what BAF is planing by 2021. This is not much but far better than what we have now.
