Same can be said with Pakistan and f-16s when looking at their economy.

Yeah,they can't even buy cheap helicopters to fight the taliban...

The Chinese paint shades for F-7 BGI are not standard NATO Aircraft Grey shades which is to be expected.

The two main NATO Aircraft grey colors for F-16s are,

Light Aircraft Grey

and Dark Aircraft Grey

There is also a shade called Aggressor Grey below (in addition to the other lighter greys) which the US Navy's F-16's are painted in to simulate smaller MiGs from hostile nations.

As you can see the differences are rather subtle....

This post about grey reminds me of 50 shades of grey!

Why did u call it expensive? Our economy is doing better than yours,remember? And we CAN afford a few squadrons of 4th generation birds..

You took it straight to the heart didn't you?
as far as your economy is concerned yes you are right because BD isn't fighting war right now.Pakistan started receiving it's first more than average FDI this year because of 80% decline in Tango's after zarb e azb. Discussion was about BD not PAK however,if pak ever wanted something it surely got it e.g. Nukes,F-16's back in 1980's (keep that in mind it was the F-35 of 80's)AH-1's/8 aip subs for 6 billion$ and all the good stuff.As our economy took a hit because of floods/earthquakes and terrorism it was declining now as we are done with it,the graph shows positivity.
Moving on to BD ,SU-35 are 4++ most SU-30's are also 4+ a minimum of 80 million/aircraft when you buy from scratch.2nd hand SU-27 are old not good in BVR and too expensive to maintain(over 30K$/hr) Pakistan was offered but it later rejected for more f-16.

And why did you say "inappropiate"? Myanmar is extremely agressive towards us and they have 4 times more MiG-29s than us..Plus there is a big bully neighbour...

Never did i said "inappropriate",I want BD to have all the good stuff in the world but that isn't the point right?A fight with Burma can be considered but you won't be able to cope up with IAF no never.
Nonetheless BD milatary budget is 2 billion$ which won't be able to support expensive aircraft like Sukhois or Mig's 35/29M.
Burma is getting PAC JFT very soon,MIG-29M can be bought to counter that.

And I'd call the Pakistani F-16s as "inappropiate" because they first need more helicopters to fight taliban..No offence...

PAF newer F-16's are equipped with sniper pod's and db 110 recce pods which help targeting/observing thus are useful for precise delivering of gifts to talis from PAF.
DB-100 and sniper can be seen in pics below.

Coming to heli's yes you are right,PAA needs more heli's and that is what they are doing.PAA is already operating 70+ Attack chopper AH-1's ,Z-10' ,fennecs,IAR 330s etc.As it is about to retire 50 AH-1s by 2017 it has placed orders for Ah-1z,Mi-35 possibly 2 other platform from these MI-28,T-129,Z-19 and Z-10 as they plan to operate 100+ dedicated attack chopper by 2020.So you shouldn't worry about that.

Thanks...

Anytime bruv.

Harami,tui nijer ta dekh,pore kotha koish...

I don't understand local language's please take some time to explain it to me.I can only translate the word "harami" which is as far as i know isn't the nicest of the things to say to someone.

Same can be said with Pakistan and f-16s when looking at their economy.

Pakistan bought 8 subs for 6 billion$ still not impressed?I can brag more but you have google use it.
F-16's cost 80 million$/aircraft now ,that is why PAF is reluctant to buy more and was forcing FMS to subsidise it for them,as lobby turned against FMS,PAF is opting for newer options to fill in the gap for 190 aircraft both inhouse and foreign options are being looked at,SU-35 was offered back in 2015,EFT ,J-10,rafale,MIG-35 also cost around from 50-120 million $ which is not much when buying a newer aircraft nowadays.PAF hasn't done a big ticket purchase since 2000's so it is her turn after navy.You will not be disappointed i promise

Yeah,they can't even buy cheap helicopters to fight the taliban...

Pakistan paid ~1 Billion$ for 15 AH-1z,in layman terms half of BD army budget isn't it?
And is about to pay more for another batch.You can do the maths.PAA is going to replace 50 (original 60).

you should not talk about things you have no idea about.

Advise - stick to the topic,


consider this a warning.

 

[RAMPAGE]

Just paid $1 billion for those AH-1Zs to US. How much is your defence budget, Remind me again?

Pakistan spends billions on its defense and who can blame them. But judging by the economic condition of Pakistan that money can be put in more better goals of economic development. Oh and defense budget of bangladesharmed forces is around 3 billion usd now. Not counting in the paramilitary budget. (Border guard budget, etc. Which totals upto 5 billion) cope with IAF in numbers game? No never not Bangladesh not even Pakistan. But both our airforces are well trained and won't be giving up skies for cheap. We will build deterrence instead. I should say... However Pakistan is being sold crap by Americans now. F-16s are like what 50 years old. Pakistan should definitely go for Chinese variant of sukhoi to build their strength as Russia might be reluctant because India.

Don't talk about econmics of Pak these days, it will be a different story to tell next year.
Good to know,It was around 2.6billion$.
F-16's were just sold to (talking about last 10 years) UAE,Egypt,Israel,USAF,PAF and alot others that sums more than 20 billion$ in deals, so it isn't crap.even old F-16 are lethal machine which can give the latest Sukhois/migs a tough time.Whoever calls them junk is retarded af.
Chinese variant of Sukhois are not for sale.Russians delegation was here 5 days ago.
PAF operates Latest F-16's,the old ones are upgraded to Block 50 standards.Which gives more frame life and newer avionics and other major facelifts.
Anyways PAF forum are always open to debate,pay visits there to keep yourself updated,I sincerely don't wan to derail this thread.
Good day.

@~Phoenix~

Please rafrain from replying to off topic posts. We don't like someone shitting BD or trolling in our thread but we try to ignore them and simply report them and move on to something constructive that we want.It is likewise.We don't go in other sections to talk shit about their country.If they do so in ours it's their lack of sensibility. Replying to off topic posts only further derails the thread. I recommend you edit last bit of your post.

I am seeing you posting very constructively since joining. And it gives me hope about you. Please don't give head to someone who simply don't have any idea.You and @Mohammed Khaled is doing fine. We have good expetations from you.
@Mohammed Khaled ,man,I think we had a understanding on this!! Ignore them!


@muhammadali233 Please don't post off topic and derail the thread. Deciding what is "unnecessary" for BD is not up to you or me. There is professionals in charge of BAF who knows their job hundreds time better than us. Don't start in the fashion you did. Won't gain respect and other will treat and engage you the same offhanded manner.



Stick to the topic everyone.

 

[Arthur]

I gave an opinion on the aircraft instead debating why it maybe potent to them they started targeting at my flag,which i couldn't/cannot bear,cleared of their "misconceptions" is all i did,i hate derailing threads.
If BD knows what to do and you believe in them,then what has this forum got for you?It was a discussion thread and that is what i am doing,don't try to sound like a moderator or a senior member you ain't one.
This isn't your hood this a forum open to debate.
Hope i never come back to this thread,full of bellends.

I will say it again, you have no qualification to give decision for BD. You are just a fan boy. What you did is a known characteristics of many trolls here.

I might not be a senior or a mod,but it is still the BAF thread in BD section. And you are not a Bangladeshi.

So yes,please don't come back.We hate to debate with people who doesn't have a clue.

BAF MiG 29 - A Beautiful Beast

 

[asad71]

BAF has been "gifted" an ACM and few AVMs although the inventory does not require more than an Air Commodore to command. Under the current dispensation BAF is to limit itself to choppers, transports and trainers. The F-7 squadrons are the best they have. One Mig -29 is for show purpose on victory day. Another dual model is to keep the pilots current. The other six are for canibalising parts to keep these two flying - the top most function of the unfortunate Air Chief.

You do realize recently air forces pilot have assured press that all mugs are operational and 4 are sent to Ukraine for overhaul. Where are you getting your source from. JUST GO AND CHECK KURMITOLA BASE. THE MIGS ARE AT THE HANGER. One two seat version and 3 single seat version.
