Super mushshak shouldn't be bought. We need to allocate the resources to develop the BBT-2 trainer fully.

It provides a good domestic solution for basic training.

JF-17 doesn't make much sense either.

Either Typhoon trench 4 or J10CE. Preferably Typhoon as Myanmar can't get it. (+ it has qualitative edge on anything Myanmar can get from Russia or China barring J-35.)

Only thing that makes sense to buy from Pakistan is Fatah-2 TBM. A good number of them. Preferably ToT with local production. Also collaboration on UAVs and loitering ammunition.

And of course training and exchanges with PA and PAF.

Is it worth developing a trainer just for BD domestic market? Would the numbers ordered justify this?

We already have a flying prototype. Too late to go back now.

No point developing more if SM can do the job. There are probably other things BD AF need more urgently that you can dedicate these resources to.

If you have only driven and maintained a tuk-tuk, jumping straight to a Lambo would be a tough leap. It’s better to get some training on reliable aircraft first, then work your way up to more powerful jets/props.
Jeff and Mushak offer that transition at a cost that can't be matched by anyone else. BD has a non existent air force in modern equation so everything has to be laid out as if it is the first time.

Indians have the Tejas, but they are still looking to buy new jets, showing that having a working flying prototype doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ready for induction.

Yeah, that's why I am saying we should allocate resources to complete the development. A basic trainer isn't exactly rocket science.

No. You shouldn't comment without sufficient knowledge. BD has JL-8 and Yak-130 (1x squadron each) around 30 advanced trainer.

And 2x squadron of German grove T120 as basic trainer.

That's more than enough to prepare enough pilots for 1/2x squadron of advanced MRCA like Typhoon or J10CE.

In fact we have too many trainers compared to actual modern combat aircrafts.

Also, cost isn't the driving factor in capability acquisition. It is about satisfying the requirements first. We need to acquire something that would ensure qualitative edge over Myanmar AF. I.e. new gen Typhoon.

jf17 bl 3 does that , they only have block 2s

 

[Afif]

It isn't future proof. They could acquire JF17 B3 or worse, J10CE.

New gen Typhoon provide qualitative edge that they can't acquire.

 

[hasssanali8998]

but yess @Afif is right baf needs to do what is in its best interest and not because of other factors . they should only buy jf17bl3 if it is what they want and not because Pakistan makes them and they want good relation with Pakistan

 

[hasssanali8998]

New gen Typhoon provide qualitative edge that they can't acquire.

ofc but you cant just have baf only with typhons , certainly not possible to have them in numbers . and i think that is what baf will do typhoon for the tip of the spear ( like our j10s ) and jf17 as workhorses
anyways , good luck to them regardless of what jet they choose .

 

[Al-Zakir]

If you ask me, I am bored with all the HL visits. Two year passed by, many HL exchanges yet so far we have nothing burger.

I will get excited when something meaningful happens, until then It's meaningless and waste of tax payer money.

 

[Al-Zakir]

He has some good points. Perhaps, Pakistan is taking its time because Bd armed forces can't be fully trusted yet. Hasina's dalals are still sitting in key position.
