It's only meant to place the gap as we are going for more advanced fighters on 2021. Although, I'd agree it would have been better if we went for FC-1s. It's probably due to limited funds.

Right now, BD is focusing on the navy. The most important arm for Bangladesh.

They will buy something on 2021 and evaluatiing now??? Is it english that has the problem or related to retard mind?

By 2021 most of the countries will have fifth generation jets and we will only buy fourth generation in 2021. It will at least take a few years for order to be recieved.

Yeah, we can't exactly the same shopping list as USA either

Air Force aims higher

Such plans have long term implications.

The thread's article clearly states that BAF will be inducting modern aircraft over the next 13-15 years.

No reason to rush.

Bangladesh works on a tight budget. At the moment, it's focusing mainly on navy. Both naval and air force matters are expensive.

Unfortunately true.

Not really.... Most probably F35 investor countries, Russia and probably India will have 5th gen aircraft..... they are at most 10 countries.... Rest of the world will try to stay at 4.5th gen because of its threats and the budget restraints..

Our military budget a bit low. Hopefully if our economy experiences double digit growth, the number of years will be reduced to 5 to 7 years

It is a bit. But we have to understand that the BAF operates on a very tight budget. Couple that with Bangladesh's relatively small economy and weak technological base.

As of 2011, Bangladesh's defense budget is $1.6 billion. That is 1% of it's GDP. So, it isn't a lot really

Well by 2021 NATO countries will have f35s, so will the other allies of the US such as singapore israel, maybe japan and korea, etc.

Russia, India, China, Korea, Indonesia, japan will be developing there own by 2020. They will probably sell them to their allies or potential customers like brazil as well.

So IMO, a lot of countries will have fifth generation fighters

than choice of f7 is reasonable

8-10 FC-1 for around $180 miilion in total will be a very good deal compared to
16 F 7 for around $150 million in total

US allies might have it.... But my assumption is based on the fact that developing 5th gen is not easy.... i am not betting for chinese 5th gen before 2020......still none of us have time machine to say anything for certain......
