Can anyone has any idea about a rumor: Bangladesh is going to develop its own C-802A missile with the help of China. is it true? Please quote if you have any solid reference.

Likely to be EC-175:
It was confirmed that BA is buying a few Eurocopters along with the MBT-2000 order.
Anyone! Who can share any update on the F-7BGI procurement program? Still dont know the shape of the aircraft. A friend told me it might look like BG. But, the avionics shall be different. It might receive a much upgraded radar that also has a terrain following mode. Can anyone confirm that!!
Some other defence forums are saying that not only the BGI will be BVR capable, its structure and look will also be quite different from other F-7 variants. In their opinion, the F-7 naming itself is wrong. It should have been given a different name. So, let us wait and see the new planes that will start arriving this year.

PS its C 802, bd 4 ever made a typo
In the other thread we saw BD is negotiating $850 million from Russia. But, what could be those hardwares? SUB or SAM?
Bangladesh indicated its growing intimacy with Russia through the award last month of well-drilling contracts without going through a tender process and without a production sharing clause. Dhaka also hopes soon to obtain suppliers' credit worth US$850 million to procure Russian-made military equipment.

We also need one squadron of maritime fighter aircraft to safe guard our EEZ.
BN already has a few units of toothless patrol planes and helis to fly over the EEZ to check if our two greedy neighbours are inching towards our sea territory. But, I understand that the 16 F-7BGI planes that BAF inducts this year will be placed in the newly built Cox's Bazaar air base, may be in a mix of old, new and with Mig-29s. If so, then these planes can do the maritime job of safeguarding the EEZ, isn't it? Without an aircraft carrier BN will have to depend upon land-based BAF planes.
As there is a remote possibility of war with India, we should look for some potent enemy outside of sub continent. Aircraft carrier is a good way to go for that. Whats your take on that?
