I understand the enthusiasm, but a lot of things have to fall in place infra-wise, before they can even start assembling airplanes. Even one example.
Airplane banatey onek kicchu lage. Airplane bananor propaganda Bangladesher kicchu oshikkhito lok ke feed kora jai, but I see no evidence to have this happen, definitely not by 2021.
I am tempted to say - making or even assembling airplanes is not Delhi ka Laddoo...you don't have to go far, go see the infra PAC in Pakistan has, or even older example, HAL with all the expertise and infra they built to test airplanes being built/assembled.
In India - private companies like Mahindra and Tata have ten times the infra on assembling aerospace components even.
Although not a professional, I have been an aerospace aficionado for a while now and am fully informed on what is needed. Nothing that I have seen so far at Bangabandhu Aerospace University (BSMRAAU) publicly, demonstrates to me any iota/inkling of evidence that we will see a Made-in-Bangladesh or even assembled-in-Bangladesh fixed-wing or heli aircraft by 2021.
If it happens - I promise you guys, I will shave my head completely.
Here is our PM talking about setting up aircraft overhaul (and manufacturing at some point) at Lalmonirhat (Northern tip of Bangladesh). What logic led to this line of thinking for BAF??
I am sorry - but this BAF logic can only be called Ahammuk/Burbak logic. Why the heck in Lalmonirhat, which is away from any conceivable point of industrial or logistical support in Bangladesh and twenty miles away from Indian border?
Indian RAW plan to deny Bangladesh any strategic airpower advantage - in full force and display by Hasina. Wasting money on garbage trainers again and again in spite of having money to purchase potent MRCA...very frustrating.
My apologies if I hurt anyone's feelings - but reality is what it is, as opposed to propaganda.
