J-35 Over J-10C? How Bangladesh’s Choice Could Redefine Its Air Power

Land warfare won't be much of a challenge. Thanks to the terrain. My concern are ballistic missiles. They are currently the number one threat. We don't appear to have any countermeasures against these at the moment.


If we do not have a minimum countermeasure against ballistic missiles, and bring it as an integral part of the nation's defense, it will be difficult.
Russia built up India's entire missile program. India's Ballistic and cruise missiles purchased with ToT from Russia are indeed a concern. They also tested hypersonic missiles.

Here Pakistan and China can help BD to indigenously produce them. BD lags far behind and this is an urgent requirement.

BD brought 18-20 units of Turkish TRG-300 MLRS with a range of 120km.

It has plenty of deterrence to an Indian first strike.
 
Legally, they cannot simply keep our citizens in detention with no charges indefinitely. And no trial. Our government need sort this one out.
Well they’ve plausible deniability because they avoid the question altogether
think the world is starting to get to know them better gradually. It will interesting how this evolves. One thing is for sure is that their credibility is seriously in question by global powers. We must take every advantage here.
Definitely, britons… Canadians Americans are all sick of the jeets. Idk why Australia is making it easy for mass migration of the jeets but Australia is next to be ruined thanks to their diversity friendly politics

That can be a good deterrent when combined with air superiority, advanced radar systems, anti-ballistic missile defense, own indigenous BMs and submarine launched cruise missiles. Alone, it might not be enough.
 
If SAC can be delivered by 2030, then Bangladesh should go for J35 instead of 4G fighters.

The whole world is gradually entering the era of 5G fighters and drones, and as a country with 170 million people and $440 billion gdp, there is no need for Bangladesh to continue wasting money for 4G fighters.

I think Bangladesh should use J35s and UAVs to form a high/low mix, and L-15s to maintain the number of fighter pilots and perform some of the conventional missions.
 
There was speculation India would militarily intervene during the 36 July period. But this did not happen. It would seem weird for a foreign army fighting unarmed students, and it certainly won't help their global reputation. But fact is often stranger than fiction.

This was a bluff. There was no way India would have/ could have invaded because of our army action against a mutiny. In any such invasion, the whole BD army wouildn't even care about Moin or Hasina, they would've mobilized against the invasion and it would've been a quagmire for India.

The reason Gen Moin didn't take any action was because he was hand in glove with the plotting.
 
If we can at least take them out in space, then so be it. I think there are systems proposed to be capable against missiles entering terminal stage. And at least one system purported to be under works capable of taking out hypersonic missiles which typically fly at low altitudes.

"Aegis SBT is the only active defense available today to counter hypersonic missile threats," he added.


We should explore this area. It would be unwise to discount this threat. This will also be a good opportunity to formulate our space strategy.



Sounds bizarre. But may be factual given the sensitive global climate at the time.

May be. Given the post-9/11 era, and given that the Indians convinced the Americans the threat of terrorists driven by Islamist ideology existed in Bangladesh, this course of action by the Indians was plausible. Gen. Moeen was a traitor. It was because of him that our armed forces were severely weakened.

We have to always be prepared for any situation.

The best way to deter a BM threat is to have a BM force of our own. Iran style indigenous BM industry and BM force would serve BD well.

I am in Aus a citizen. I can tell you Aussies are also sick of them. It's the stupid immigration policy that created this mess. It's not that Australia doesn't need immigration, but the immigration policy should put cap on the number of immigrants from every country, they instead let come in whoever wants to, and guess what the Indias come in by the hundreds of thousands.
 
A paratrooper invasion deep into BD will end in disaster with all Indian paratroopers either killed or captured.
Agreed.... land invasion of Bangladesh will be suicidal for any power. Bangladesh can bleed even China or Pakistan in case of a land invasion. Thanks to Bangladesh terrain and Bangladesh army is quite strong.....

Ekattor dada,

So why are Pakistanis and BDs not emigrating to OZ in droves, why only Indians.

Regards

Recently I learnt that Indians can get 8 year permit post graduation without the need for sponsored jobs and they can bring their whole family. Also there will be a way to become permanent resident if graduating in specific fields. Doesn’t have to work in said fields. This law changes only benefits Indians and to me it sounded not only crazy and unfair but against australias national interest.

It's still the best that China actually uses in their air force. 6th gen is in testing phases right now (like super early phase), going by J20 time frame expect 7-8yrs (could be more here) before induction. China and Bangladesh aren't close enough neither Bangladesh has that kind of money.
6th gen is in her early phase which is true but it is much more than just an airframe that many assumed, it's already an ascends in both tech and design philosophy/concept so saying tech wise J35 is not the best on our hands is very valid plus J35's tech is not as sensitive as people might have thought, the cost is considerably cheap for PLA, around 70-80 million USD a pop, it is one of those mass order items like F35A, thus I really don't see any problems exporting them from 2030s onward.
 
The J-35A would be a great platform for the long-run, but there's still the gap that needs to be filled through the rest of the 2020s and early 2030s.

IMO something like the FA-50 or Hurjet could be a good fit, both to add multirole capabilities at a good cost and to help revamp the advanced training regimen so that it supports a NGFA acquisition.

The JF-17 Block 3 along with J-35 would be perfect for BD.
