Bangladesh Negotiating to Buy F-10 Fighter Planes

[eastwatch]

I think the problem is not keeping defence purchases secret from the people but from India. Any purchases would be seen to be targeted at India and they have every reason to find out what we are purchasing and we have every reason to try to keep it secret from them.

Not only India, but, all the countries almost know about the military strength of all their enemy countries. How come because India will know, therefore, we will not purchase our hardwares. Your emploer DGFI certainly has hidden moles in the Indian military. You know everything, but you are joking, isn't it?

BD has more than 45 billion dollars worth of international trade, it is moving towards africa to produce food and import the same to the country. Our GDP and trade will certainly keep on increasing continuously throughout the next decade at the rate of 7% per anum. Our ships will be exposed to the threat that was seen last year in Somalia. BD economy is still small in size. But, when it becomes quite large, there is no doubt it will try to flex its muscles through the Indian Ocean. Economic strength must also be supported by military strength.

Israel is different. It relies on America for everything. It lives inside a shell. But, we are outward looking. It is our destiny that we project our econic power, when the time is suitable, through the waves of our nearby oceans. We were born with arms in hands and India has forced us not to through away these arms. So, it is our destiny to become a militarily strong nation.

Good call. But the thing is, we won't go anywhere if we do not address the issue of population control. It is the mother of all problems in Bangladesh at the moment.

Protecting our naval commercial lines from Somali pirates is important, but it is no easy task. Sure, putting an armed escort group is easy, but administrating it isn't. There are many issues to follow in this.

Although it was initially dependent on its big brother, the US of A, Israel right now is very technologically advanced. And a very self sufficient one at that, unlike its Arab neighbors.

Even without US aid, Israel can still do fine. This is not just my opinion, but fact.

I'm curious Sandy, do you think India can provide anything better than SOME CHEAP CHINESE AIRCRAFT?

Nopes... India is decades away from being a military aircraft exporter...

Where is the thread heading? noticed all Bangladeshi threads follow somewhere else after a few pages...

There are atleast 2 more previous threads regarding Bangladesh negotiating to buy xyz....

I went back checked the source and read it 3 times, And No there is no confirmed news and no one pointed out when, where the delegation went..

I find it strange why BAF would go for J-10 if JF-17 fulfills the requirements. The official price tag of J-10A is $40M +/-
The seller would ask the buyer what is it in JF-17 that is not fulfilling.
Is it the price tag? Price tag couldn't get better for BAF
Is it the Weapons? almost all weapons J-10A/B can use is also compatible with JF-17.
Is it the Radar? The radar is better than anything and superior to F-7s and A-5s, I can't comment on BAF Mig-29s I don't exactly know the radar onboard. Or wait for the next block that can fulfill your needs.

Logically BAF should first upgrade its current fleet of Mig-29s to the most modern up to date variant of Mig-29s..High low combination always work.

We have the population growth rate 1.4% and might be even lower than that after the current census results come out. For a developing nation like us need some sort of population growth to sustain the growth rates in the years to come. Besides a significant amount of people are going overseas and permanently getting settled. If we look at the Europe, they already inhabitated half of the world with their own kind. With the decreasing rates of white population among caucasians, somebody need to fill those gaps up. If not us then somebody else will do that.

There may be an unwritten law in Bangladesh, media is not to publish security sensitive news without notifying DGFI. This is why we do not just know what is going on.

The capabilities of our military and intelligence is not so high. I doubt BD has any moles in the Indian military. Why are you talking about military strength? The issue here is transfer of technology.

I would not claim that population should explode. but a big population not sustainable by a land where foods are grown almost by nature is also no prescription for development if it is an old country, and is not new like the Americas. An overpopulation pushes people out of land and agriculture. These urbanized people learn how to work hard and fast.

With many other inputs combined an old country starts to develop. Bring the BD population down to 70 million, no one has then to work that hard and development stops at that. Nature can sustain that much of population. So, overpopulation is not always a curse, but it should be used properly. A day will come in BD when the urbanized population will themselves go after less population.　It is happening in all the developed urbanized countries of the world, today.

To say about Israel, you have to properly understand where from its monetary capitals came, and what is the function of this capital to lead a country to a self-sustained development. Israel , like all other developed countries of today, has reached a stage of development called 'Self-sustained Development.' I am sure you understand the relationship between capital and sustainable development. Anyway, it is no place to talk national development economics.

This is exactly what I was going to say in post #87. But, i stopped because it was getting lengthy. Every developed country of today had to go through the perils and pitfalls that BD is going through. Europeans exported their people to all the American countries. But, unfortunately for BD, there is no country left where BD can expoprt its people.

But, any way, you are right that extra mouths are needed to initiate development.

Trabsfer of any technology is very difficult. I believe Indian academicians are well versed in their respective fields. But, Indians are not from the Mars. They certainly will not learn everything just by watching the inside and outside of a plane. I am sorry to say that you are indirectly flattering Indians. But, I do not know the true reasons.

The Indians are good at science and reverse engineering is not beyond them. Your objective seems to be to assist them in their objectives while you pretend to be a Bangladeshi nationalist. Most of your comments display complete ignorance about the present situation in Bangladesh and the position of the military.
