MashaAllah ...
I'm glad they didn't show the A-5's , T-37 or L-39s in the video .
&
It would have been more amazing if the aircrafts were "YAK-130, J-10 or SU-30 along with our these MiG-29 ,,, some Mi-35 attack-helos would be the great & Some mid-range SAM" too ... ( In my dreams ! )

But , Its good they are making progress, slowly but going forward ...
Something is better than nothing ...
Alhamdulillah ...

They can buy those actually. We have the money. But there is a lack of commitment from the top levels.

Is there any reliable source link to the news of the purchasing of 8 new Hongdu JL-8s? 


From what I have heard from some Air Force personnels recently- the plans to procure Su-27 right now is out of the question. Government wants to buy a more modern series of aircraft such as the Su-30. But due to not being able to finance it now, they are looking into other alternatives such as the as J-10 or other Chinese aircrafts. China has shown interest in providing loan if Bangladesh does go for purchasing new Chinese fighters.

J-10A/B not available/ready for exports, JH-7A has no use for BAF not an air superiority aircraft.

What happened to YAK-130 deal, yak was suppose to replace T-37, L-39...

The HongQi 64 (HQ-64) surface-to-air missile (SAM) was developed in the 1990s by the Shanghai Academy of Space Flight Technology, based on the Italian Alenia Aspide missile technology. The missile is available in both land- and ship-based versions, and has been promoted to the export market under the designation LieYing 60 (LY-60). The missile was previously thought to be for export only, but recent Internet-source photos confirmed that the missile is now in service with the SAM troops of the PLA Air Force (PLAAF) for short- to medium-range air defence role
Programme
The Aspide was derived from the U.S. AIM-7 Sparrow semi-active radar-homing medium-range air-to-air missile (MRAAM), but with a monopulse seeker replacing the conic scan seeker for improved accuracy and better resistance to jamming. The Aspide emulated the United States’ practice with the Sparrow to have evolved from an air-to-air missile into a multi-purpose missile that can be launched from land-, ship- and aerial-platforms.
China obtained a small number of the Italian Alenia Aspide missile in the 1980s, and later signed an agreement to co-produce the missile under license. However, due to the arms embargo imposed by the E.U. in 1989, the co-production of the Aspide missile was cancelled. However, Chinese engineers used the Aspide technology to develop an indigenous model with similar performance. The air-to-air version of the missile was later commissioned under the designation PL-11, while the surface-to-air version of the missile became the HongQi 64/LY-60.
Design
The HongQi 64 was designed to engage low-/medium-altitude fast jet targets, low-flying helicopters, and sea-skimming anti-ship missiles. The missile is guided by the radio command with artificial interference capability. It was claimed to be the only medium-low-altitude air defence missile in the world that uses microprocessor intelligent module technology.
The surveillance radar detects the target aircraft and then hands it over to the appropriate tracking/illumination radar unit for the engagement. The system continuous wave semi-active homing guidance principles, and, with the allocated assets, the battery can process up to 40 targets, track 12 and engage three of them simultaneously. The use of the moving target tracking processing system and frequency agility technology also gives the system good anti-jamming capability. System reaction time is 9 seconds.
Deployment
A typical land-based HongQi 64 battery fire unit comprises one 4X4 truck-mounted surveillance radar, three 4X4 truck-mounted tracking/illumination radars, one emergency power supply vehicle, and six 6X6 truck-mounted transporter-launcher platforms. Each of the launch platform has five ready to launch missiles in individual sealed containers.
The fire unit is complemented by a technical support unit which comprises a transport and reloading vehicle, a test vehicle, an electronic maintenance vehicle, an electromechanical maintenance vehicle, a tools support vehicle, a spares and meter vehicle, and a power supply vehicle.
Specifications
Missile dimensions: Length 3.89m; Diameter 0.208m; Wingspan 0.68m
Launch weight: 220kg
Propulsion: Single-stage solid rocket
Operating altitude: 0.03~12Km
Operating range: 1~18km
Maximum speed: Mach 4.0
Guidance: Semi-active radar
Warhead: HE, prefabricated steel ball fragmentation type
System reaction time: 9 sec
Single shot hit probability: 60~80%
Status :Bangladesh will use it as Medium Range for limited aerial defence.The deal is not yet signed

BAF's Mig-21's and it's pilots
(Notice the G-suit's of the time, it was kinda bulky as these birds flew at very high altitudes so to maintain pressure and oxygen supply these helmet's were made.) ----- collected.

According to a prominent Indian defence blog Bangladesh’s air force is close to ordering from South Korea the Cheongung (Iron Hawk) MR-SAM, co-developed by a consortium of entities that included Russia’s Almaz Design Bureau, the ADD, LIG Nex1, Samsung-THALES and Doosan DST, was developed within a five-year period and entered the series-production phase last year. In Russia, the Cheongung will soon be produced as the S-350E Vityaz.
