Rafale shall be too costly. Acquisition of Rafale shall have its toll on other defense acquisition. This seems more of an enthusiasm than something considered seriously.

I prefer J-10C from China. It's cheap and easy to maintain. Supply of spare parts is guaranteed.

It has low reliability, substandard weapons and poor electronics.

I think Mig 35 or Su 35 or Su 75 shall be the best deal for BD. I exclude best bat Tejas as current situation in BDay not be conducive for that.

I think the narration went a bit over-dramatic, saying Bangladesh buying aerial platforms of any kind from China will affect regional stability.

It won't.

Bangladesh military posture has always been defensive - with much larger neighbors who pose a larger military threat. Bangladesh needs to play its cards right diplomatically.

Focus in Bangladesh - as it exists and will remain for the near future, is to improve the economy. End of story.
