They will have to decommission the Migs.

That's confirmed.

UK would like to disagree with that consensus based on past records of their air force

UK has relatively large buffer in terms of the English Channel & North Sea.

Otherhand the enemy is right at our door step, within artillery range.

What I am hearing (nothing official) J10CE is out. It will be a combination of Typhoon and JF17 B3.

It isn't fault of BAF bro. It is a political preference as far as I heard

Is it something to do with khalilur rahman compromise? Getting jf17 to avoid US tariffs and the Eurofighter to keep favourable trade deals with Europe?

Politics will almost always dominate.

American offer is refurbished f16s of block 50 variants, aesa and link 16. Precondition is acsa and gsomia. Ball is in Tarique's court. They ain't happy with j10 or jf17 plans

American offer comes with AIM120 missiles or just another Egyptian F16 like super expensive toy plane?

Dicktator Ershad wanted F16 but Americans gave middle finger then...

No. They will give us AMRAAM. But I think we are already going with Typhoon. And after that we simply won't have money left for any other stuff. (Will prolly be around 2.5 billions for 12 jets)

Any informal source for this? I haven't heard it.

Amraam is on the table since MRCA requirement requires BVR capabilities. I'm hearing heavy push against jf17 and j10 procurement but no pressure against Typhoon. They're gently pressuring bd to increase american weapons purchase with big ticket items like f16s. Thats in line with the tariff conditions and imo is a good offer for bd as f16s are more cost effective than typhoons and we get out homegrown link 16 capability.
