Vietnam has ~100 Billions in forex reserve. Bangladesh only has ~20 Billions in forex reserve. Currently spending on defense is a luxury for Bangladesh.Does Bangladesh have jf-17?
Edit: mig-29 and j-7 . Bangladesh economy is the size that of Vietnam. Maybe allocate a few billion dollars for jf-17 or j-10c purchases.
Was the last budget reduced? If I’m not wrong military budget grew to 6 billions right? Should really go through prioritization and focus on next budget allocation.MRCA and 6 next generation frigates are out of question for next 2-3 years due to poor economy and so the focus should be on other systems that meet pressing needs while being affordable.
BD will have to ditch getting rapidly obsolette 4+ gen fighters and should set it's sights on Chinese J-31 and Turkey's next generation fighter for procurement in the 2030s, when they are avaiable and also as BD economy hopefully is rich enough to afford them.
So as suggested for a while both by others and myself, the most effective procurements right now and within BD's limited resources is both more TRG-300 Tiger MLRS and also an effective MRSAM system.
I don't think that SAMP-T is affordable in the numbers required as it will come to some 1 billion US dollars per piece. This is the price that BD will have to pay in order to account for profit for French/Italian manufacturer.
To make a difference then BD will have to purchase at least 3-4 units in order to protect vital civilian populations, military and economic targets as well. 3-4 billion US dollars is not what BD can afford anytime soon.
So it would be better for BD to go for a MRSAM network and the best would be something from Turkey like Hisar o which is just about medium range at 40km. It can in time order even more longer range Turkish SAM systems as they are available and BD's budget allows.
This procurement could come to some 1 billion US dollars now and BD will be able to find the money and concentrate on defending against Myanmar.
It needs to forget about "defending" from India for the time being in terms of air-defence as that is well outside its limited budgetary capabilities.

Maybe a couple wing loong uavs . A cool video on Norinco export kits.Yes it has been reduced over the last few years due to fiscal squeeze.
I am afraid the military will probably take a real back seat in terms of spending priorities for next few years at least. BD does not have a functioning goverment system and the economy is in a fragile state. This will take some time to fix.
Best to spend the least amount of money to at least be a credible deterrent to Myanmar.
Maybe try to get R-77s for the upgraded 8 mig-29s and then try and get another 8 cheap second hand Mig-29s, refurbish them and form a full squadron.
Another thing that would be useful would be a couple of AWACs from China as they are the most cost effective and within BD's limited budget.
MAF is not that good and BD can probably match them by spending some hundreds of millions of US dollars if it does it strategically by adding to what it already knows and has the infrastructure for where possible.
Perhaps due to operational needs? Especially with the recent floods.View attachment 62297
Bangladesh opts out of multinational air exercise Tarang Shakti, Sri Lanka steps in
Bangladesh has withdrawn its C-130 aircraft from the second phase of the multinational air exercise, Tarang Shakti, which begins today in Jodhpur. However, its Air Force officials will participate as observers.www.indiatoday.in
Yes most likely, as BAF officials are still attending as observers. But YouTubers got a lot of materials for gossip for sure!Perhaps due to operational needs? Especially with the recent floods.
Sad to see we’re back where we were in 2008.Yes it has been reduced over the last few years due to fiscal squeeze.

Idk how much the upgrades from Belarus meant really, our first gen migs were obsolete when we received them and their maintenance is so expensive we hardly fly them throughout the year. I really don’t wish for 8 more migs.
Truthfully jf17 seems to be the best choice for Bangladesh for effective deterrence. Beggars can’t be choosers.
Share some proof of your claim please...Notice that Yunus was very careful to notify India before purchasing another consignment of ammunition from Pakistan.

It was literally in that article about that purchase.
