Rafale purchase? Does it figure anywhere in BD's strategic planners?

[Kazhugu]

you gave it to france, you guys didn't take the typhoon, which was more of a European fighter, i bet the germans and the brits are quite pissed about it.

actually the germans and brits themselves are fighting amonsgt themselves for their failure and fyi france is the strongest nation militarily within the eu...

also another fyi...britain is NOT in eu...

BANGLADESH airforce is MYANMAR centric!!!!!.........india is not a threat to BDAF!!!........i am sure india will be more than willing to help bd out in case of war with any foreign power!!!!

strategically myanmar is much more important to india than bangladesh...it is our gateway to SE asia..

in caseof war between myanmar-bd india will remain neutral...

8 against 20 jets, with some more joining them later? We dont stand much chance, so yeah we are gonna buy some 4+ gen jets over the next few years to beef up our defence

wont happen, maybe when the 4th generation fighters become dinosaurs. There is a reason we don't spend much on our military just 1.1% of our gdp, its due to foreign pressure. Our military budget is 1.2 billion and we get 500 million from UN missions, that is quite a large chunk of our military budget.

BAF is a defensive air force. It is not centered around any particular country.

We need to get rid of these 2 women, and get a man with balls, who can take our defense spending to 2.5%, who will look into buying some j 10s from china.

Our future SAM, it can take down Eurofighter.

But not the Rafale!!

Why? Because....

Rafale’s SPECTRA advanced ECM systems developed by MBDA for the Dassault Aviation Rafale’s ECM suite, the DDM NG (Détecteur De Missile de Nouvelle Génération) will be made available on the production Rafale.

The concept behind DDM NG is the ability to detect incoming attacking missiles from any direction and angle of attack with regard to the host aircraft. DDM NG incorporates a new infrared array detector which enhances performance with regard to the range at which a missile firing will be detected, offers improved rejection of false alarms and gives an angular localisation capability which will be compatible with the future use of Directional Infra Red Counter-Measures (DIRCM). With two sensors, each equipped with a fish-eye lens, DDM NG provides a 360° spherical field of view around the aircraft.

In other words, it has cutting edge detector technology to thwart any incoming missiles.

Cheers!

that 1.1% of military budget only includes, maintenence, salary, etc. It does not inculde our purchases

Frankly, that is unlikely to ever happen. Their families will take over.

We will use our ninja stars for the rafale

And this is the greatest problem for our region.. these dynasties have to end.

Take Manmohan......Oooops! He doesn't have balls too!

Sorry guys, go look somewhere else. But remember balls are in short supply in the sub continent!! Jeeez!

Best & first thing should be buying advanced SAMs from China to secure your airspace.

Rafale is not BD centric , nor is any of the other Indian defense purchases they have always been for Pakistan/China ... buying SAM just to counter Rafale would not be the ideal rationale.
