What is the Best fighter jet for Bangladesh Air force in the future?

. .
It comes down to the same thing for every country... who she wants to fight/defend against and what is the most cost effective way to do it.

BD is a small country with only 2 neighbors and no global ambitions so her military should be geared to defend herself from the 2 countries next to her.

Against India buying a high cost aircraft like the F18's or Rafale or the Eurofighter etc won't make sense as BD will never be able to have enough of them to act as a deterrent and anyway due to a lack of depth,the aircrafts will be sitting ducks for cruise missiles.A brahmos missile cost less than 3 million while one of the above aircrafts cost is in the tens of millions so that is a cost effective way for an Indian attack on air bases.What BD needs to prevent or delay Indian air superiority is to invest in SAM's like the S400.These are cost effective and can be bought in huge numbers and India will not want her high cost birds be sitting ducks for a barrage of these missiles.Just ask the Israelis what the Egyptians SAM's did to their fancy birds in the Yom Kippur War.

I am not sure what aircraft Burma has.I don't imagine they have any of the really costly ones so BD should be able to match them bird to bird.

Make sense. However, buying expensive AC is a prestigious issues for the AF of BD rather than a need. Probably, Air force should be more for Air defence than any other factor if not taking flood into
consideration.

That is most absurd statement I have heard - buying AC for prestige. Another interesting observation is indian dictate what is necessary for Bangladesh and you just agree. Same way awami stooge govt following indian prescription on Bangladesh defence.

Bottom line as long awami stooges are in power there will not be any meaningful development of Bangladesh airforce or defence for that matter.

Rest of this wishy washy thread is pure fantasy.

Why not have 2 or 3 squadrons of F-22 RAPTOR OR F-35 ?

Seems like americans are wanting some sort of defence co-operation with BD. I am not sure what their objective is. By reading the tone of Dipu Moni after discussion with Hilary Clinton where she mentioned about strategic partnership with USA. USA probably want BD in their side to get all the dirty things done.

Wonderfull suggestion. Go for the best and kick some Indian A$$:azn:

Comeon, I would not be as hurt as Iam now If PAF Says this.... Man, First get yourself a Nice 3rd gen plane, then work hard for another year and g for another 1 plane, then continue till 500 years and then think of atleast getting forward with some 4th gen plane... till then IAF an PAF would be operating some 45th gen fighters....

Well Banglaesh was built based on Bengalis nationalism. Later we accomodated other people in it which we should. Now everybody is equal and Bangladeshi.

Well, Bengalis reside even in this side of the Border(like me). And one of us had wrote the national anthem of Bangladesh.
