What are the threat perceptions of Bangladesh?

 

[monitor]

Not any particular threat . but most of our air force equipment which include around 160 different types of aircraft most of which are (70%) 20 years old. so modernizing is consider with modern equipment . still in 21st century we don't have any long range air defence system or even and medium rang airdefence system so a detail plan are consider to gradually replace our A-5 f-7 its with modern aircraft in 10 years term .

What does 'five tier of air defense system' mean? What do they mean by tier here? Any information on the suppliers, the cost?

couldnot find any news. exact link please.

Same here. I heard that BAF was discussing with Turkey on a short range air defense system.

Thats a confusing news because we are hearing we are buying more f-7bg and now the air force is planning to replace f-7/A-5 by 2021 . it mean may be we are keeping the bg series of F-7 only for a long time but along with F-7bg we will have some modern platform .

Production of F-7s ended way back in 2008.

They are probably planning to go for the JF-17 blk II.

Latest news from the BAF. i haveve posted before that the BAF plans to procure J-10Bs and has rejected the FC-1, this has changed.

Well a new committee has been formed to develop a new generation Air Defence system for BD. The BAF has put on hold all the new air craft procuring plans, instead funds are now being diverted to builiding a multi layered AD system.

"BD Govt is planning to introduce a multilayer AD system very soon. For these they already form a joint forces' committee which includes - Director, AD, BA and Director, AD, BAF and other concerned officers and directorates (such as WE&S, Artillery of BA and Air Plans etc). As far as I know, their plan is like as follows -

1. VSHORAD : FB-6A (6 km)
2. SHORAD : FM-90 (12 km, for point defence)
3. Medium Range : LY-60D/LY-60N (22 km, for limited aerial defence)
4. Semi-Long Range : LY-70 [Naval Version]/LY-80 (42km, for aerial defence)

[LY-70/LY-80 is a reverse engineered version of Russian BUK-M1-2]"

I posted that the military had chosen the QW-2 to replace the HN-5 as the standard MANPAD and local production of QW-2 missiles was going to begin soon. How ever it appears that after much field testing the Armed Forces are not satisfied with the QW-2 and have opted for the FN-16( modernised FN-6) So far the MANPADS were only used by artillery units but the army plans to equip all ground units with MANPADS.

I asked about the air craft procurement plans, The BAF it seems will not replace the A-5s as it said it would by 2011, but instead plan to upgrade them to A-5Ds. One new sq of F-7BGs will be bought.
The BAF is once again looking at the JF-17. From what I hear they plan to induct Fc-1s along with Su-27SKMs. Nothing about the flankers or the FC-1 is official, but the source from where I got the news has so far been extremely accurate about BD's defence plans.

Apparently the poster got his claims from BDmilitary website. Not sure how valid they are.
