The news is light on details of any interest..... Why is she going to Belorussia, what's at play here?

it is not Belorussia , it is Belarus :angry: Belarus is going to be our future defence partner, recently Belarus passed bill about joint defence projects including producing new weapons and sharing technologies with Bangladesh. respect the partner :pissed:
 
In uk it is referred to as Belorussia and Belarus interchangebly . As I learned to call it Belorussia as per history lessons vis-a-vis the Russian revolution I guess I am more comfortable referring to it as Belorussia.

I was pointing out that obviously she is going there on back of the momentum created by belorussian parliamentary approval to develop military joint venturers..... What are the details? What ventures are being contemplated and what will be sighed..... Also the Belorussian I believe backed out on a deal to buy some fighters from Russia, I wonder if we are going to take the deal from them. Something's definately up. It's a closed country, BD PM would not be venturing there without purpose.
 
She is basically going for attending the marraige ceremony of her sister's daughter in UK. All this bilateral talks and signing ceremonies with UK and Belarusare are utter BS to justify it as a state visit. We all know how important family is for this two hags, dont we?
 
On a serious note, can we really buy cruise missiles? Cruise missiles would make a really nice addition specially range of over 500 km if we are not part of the MTCR.

MTCR's all good in my opinion.

C-802(short-range subsonic) is classified as a cruise missile.
Cruise missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We can develop our missile technology with other's help. However I doubt if Belarus has any significant technology of their own. But it's a start (if any).

I'd prefer to acquire and develop technology that'd help the to rise to the challenges of climate change and environmental issues for beginners. Especially in regards to water management.
 
Belarus offered to upgrade the
Bangladesh Air Force’s fleet of MiG-29 fighters to MiG-29BM standard, which
is similar to the MiG-29SMT but less
expensive.

What you say?:what:


lack some features, Mig-29BM is bomber with little air-air fighting capability, Mig-29SMT is a balanced fighter
