64 fighter jets are not nearly enough to counter the threats Bangladesh faces -

Who do you face a threat from?

Nepal. I heard some Nepalese claim their momos taste much better than Bangladeshi fuchka and chicken chana daal.
Where does it stop?
Next they will claim their biriyani beats kachchi.
The truth is, people take you for granted if you are weak.
 
NEW: Indonesia will buy 42 Chinese Chengdu J-10C fighter jets in its first-ever non-Western aircraft deal, worth over $9 billion.

Wrong. Second hand. 1.6 billion USD

Journalist misinterpret Finance Minister statement
 
Finance minister try to remember total defense budget for 2026. He said 9 billion USD, but it should be 11.5 billion USD. He is new FM, just a month
 
Few Indonesian journalist with defence specialist. They often makes mistake on defence news since they dont have good knowledge on this sector

What variant is it?

Previously Defense Minister spoke person said they are evaluating for J10C

I dont have much detail on this, it could be another variant. Just wait

But as it is second hand, so it is intended more for stop gap

All of our F16 are made during 70 and 80 (keep being refurbished and upgraded) while Hawks should be retired soon as British no longer support Hawk 200/100
 
The price I think also show geopolitical gesture, so both I think see this not only about merely defense acquisition matter

The J-10 order for Indonesia is likely to be a rumor. Because the archipelago nation of Indonesia, with its massive territorial waters, has a much greater need for heavy multirole fighters than medium air superiority aircraft.

If it is true, it should be a second-hand J-10B.

The J-10C is for PLAAF's own use, and they are all very new aircraft, so it is unlikely to be sold. Not even Pakistan got J-10C, but only the J-10CE.

Even if there is a second-hand J-10C for sale, it would have been bought Pakistan long ago.


btw: The first J-10C was commissioned in 2017, it has been in service for less than 8 years!
