Well take this with a large dose of salt, the Russians tend to talk well before anything concrete has been agreed. Mig has had a very poor sales and support record recently and their reputation has suffered.

I think we should have a decent force. Lets not start an arm race with indo pak.

Our main goal should be economic development and making dhaka a better place to live.

These would likely replace your older MiG-29s than start anything.

It is important to maintain a decent defence force even if you are not surrounded by enemies.

at the right price a squadron of mig-35 is not a bad idea
why not f-16 A/B model aircraft ?? they are reliable. the support from Lockheed is good.

recent Mig supp and maintenance performance is horrible afaik. and BAF has supposedly selected Su-30, so another twin engine platform doesn' make sense tbh.
as for F-16 US already rejected sales of the fighter to BD. as a result, for the single engine platform BAF is looking to J-10B.
so, Mig-35 procurement is very very unlikely!!!

Nah we value our pilots....

If you value your pilots life then Bangladesh doesn't need an Air Force. They can sit all day long in the base.

Yeah sure, they can grab a pair of binoculars and watch those indian made planes drop like flies from the air.....
