Bangladesh Air Force

[Al-Zakir]

Mama...free trip. No need for deep analysis.
Our muppet Air Marshals are happy as long as their staff cars have Apple Car Play and heated/cooled seats.

Check out his belly. He looks like more of a food reviewer than air marshals. Hasina fatten these sold out donkey really good. I got no respect for these dalal generals.

Next best option is the JF 17 BLK 3 with Faaz 2 missiles.

Faaz 2 is not yet operational.

Ukraine defends against Russia not with any advanced jet.

Right now, Bangladesh is like Ukraine in 2014, a regime change.
The important thing is not to agitate India while building up strength from the essentials.

 

[Strider]

Here's thought.
I keep hearing Bangladeshi complaining about their size, I think they mean both, but it's ridiculous to think 180 million is small, but land area certainly is small. But it's how you think about it.
Bangladesh isn't surrounded by India, India can't magically relocate forces without Bangladesh knowing, or being able to influence that relocation. That means Bangladeshi forces, with proper planning can align its defence posture to meet the direction of threat.
In effect Bangladesh faces two India's. One in the west, and one in the northeast, both have to be dealt with in a different manner. It's enough to mention, because I don't see that mindset amongst Bangladeshis.

Now the size and the need for an effective Airforce.
Having few dozen fighters means nothing, they will be blown away. You need to have a substantial force, at least 150 fighters in two classes.
But before that, why not invest in an effective air defence infrastructure. Having a smaller box like size also means perfect environment for air defence.

But you can't just defend, because the other party will just keep hitting. So offence is also necessary. For that invest in long range rocket force, coupled with a massive home built drone force. Developing missiles will result in various roadblocks, but drones are still an open field. Pakistan and Türkiye will help with open arms, China I think shouldn't be a problem either.

Couple that with massive numbers of shoulder launched anti aircraft missiles and anti armour missiles, part of anti invasion strategy. Develop core capabilities where India can't stand on your border and threaten any government to do it's bidding. Any government can only stand up to India if it knows we can't be invaded.

Our armed forces took a big hit during the 15-year reign of pro-Indian Hasina and her minions. See, before 9/11, we did not face many threats from our immediate neighborhood. So we didn't need much of a doctrine coupled with advanced weaponry. Today, the situation is completely the other way around with threats looming here and there around our borders. Then there are Rohingya refugees. It is insane.

These kind of procurements will take time. Right now our military budget is tight. Military budget for this year has been reduced from the last year. So not enough to procure any new toys like military aircraft. Much of the budget has now been allocated to internal security measure where the real threat lies right now. It is worth mentioning that we recently caught a criminal allegedly hired by R&AW to assassinate key figures in London and Bangladesh.

Don't know where to post this but this is good work.

With right amount of funding extensive modification can be carried out, and they could make this thing combat ready.

Also those gliding ammunitions are interesting concept. Though too light to have any real world effect in current form. Never the less the concept and the prototyping work is very interesting.

There needs to be comprehensive coordination from ICT and ministry of defence to utilize these local talents. But these are lacking.

Also, I suspect Army has ego problem. They don't want to adopt a developed solution. Want to develop ther own from the scratch.

I actually like the fact that we are attempting indigenous developments, even though they look below par in quality right now. It pushes us towards self sufficiency.

Although I would have preferred that we attempted ToT first and then progress to indigenous platform development. That way we would have the necessary infrastructure and knowledge base, which eventually increases the likelihood of successfully developing a quality product.

US wants a framework agreement with Bangladesh that includes their security concerns: Fouzul

When asked whether there had been any specific discussions about LNG imports, Fouzul said there had been no specific discussions

If you are reading between lines, there is a chance J10c and HQ9B procurement plan will be axed. Yes, India can't strongarm us into anything regarding our security policy anymore. But United States can. The actual clash of titians is here. This was always going to happen. If we had a strong economy we would have been able to fend this off. So, now either we compromise on the national security or the economy.

If we agree to US 'security concerns' it helps us save our economy in the short term. But leaves our security compromised permanently. The fact is, we won't have the ability to spend 5/7 billions straight from our pocket in next 7/8 years. Any large purchase would have to be on LoC. And None other than china would provide us with big loans in this regard. So basically, necessary high end capability aquisition will be propsoned by 8-10 years if we were to depend soley on our own capital. By then it would too late. By 2035 the regional and global security dynamics would incredibly unstable and dangerous. We are already way behind the curve. By then, we would simply fall off the chart. This is the decade where we build up our defensive capabilities to the necessary level. Any later than this, I am afraid won't have any time to prepare for what's to come when most of today's global institutions break down (it is alReady happening faster than many have anticipated) and everyone would be in it for themselves. So, i suggest we take the partial economic hit and don't compromise on our long term security. 'Cause economy will be right back on track in the long run regardless of U.S. tarrif if we could just get our internal reforms and policies right. However, I am not sure if our fairly novice IG has the wisdom and the vision to see this and more importantly has the backbone to deal with it. @LeonBlack08 @AbuShalehRumi @Arthur @Avicenna @Michael Corleone @Bengal71 et al.

This is an excellent post and unfortunately the case.

In Trump ear, nothing can progress with the US. Even if we reach a so called 'Deal', Trump will renege on it on a whim, it's the same for every country.

On the other hand, we don't have any govt with a vision about our defence, neither the IG nor any future political govt. The future is bleak for us unfortunately.

Excellent analysis. And agree that unfortunately Bangladesh is in a rock and a hard place.

Trump is twisting everyone's hand, why spare Bangladesh.

Make your self less conspicuous and continue to look North ... and the (probably not) good old West.

Have you seen the rumors floating in the social media about the timing of a Chinese made jet crash coinciding with US trying to arm twist Bangladesh into entering US MIC ecosystem?

Although sounds like a fiction and a lame excuse to shift blame of this debacle, I gotta agree that the rumor has some steam to it.

Nah bro, It is just a lame conspiracy.

Military corruption, incompetence and indifference are the biggest conspiracies here.
CIA is struggling to find any room for sabotage.
