[🇧🇩-Airforce] MRCA Program of Bangladesh Air Force

[Saif]

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

Sovereignty comes first not the economy.

BAF has always customized Chinese aircraft before purchasing. The avionics, ejection seat and targeting pod can be changed to make J-10 a potent aerial platform.

But what about the platform? If they provide Russian engine, it can be still workable but if they install Chinese engine, its reliability shall be very low. Its weapons are not very reliable, so as radar. It will always be batter to go for Russian weapons when there is a choice between Russian and Chinese weapon. Even China has purchased Su 35 and Su30 inspite of claim of so called 5th generation plane called J 20. China itself has not inducted JF17 though they use Mig 21.

China has reverse engineered Russian engine which works just fine.

China had offered JF 17 with Chinese engine which Pakistan had refused to accept. If BD thinks that it works fine, so be it. Afterall, you are going to purchase it with your own money.

So far as India is concern, India will always want country with possibility of potential conflict to have substandard weapons. IAF will always prefer to counter JF 17 and J10 than Mig 35 ot Su35.

WS-15 is a powerful engine which powers J-20--a fifth generation aircraft of China.

We should not buy big ticket items from Russia because of its close relation with India.

The guy in the video tells that BAF is moving toward acquiring new aircraft under the much talked about MRCA program. Besides, he also tells that Drones are also being procured and manufactured locally.

যুদ্ধের জন্য বাংলাদেশ বিমান বাহিনী কতটুকু প্রস্তুত?

That is a point. What about SAAB Gripen? Or F16?

We cannot buy F-16 because of ACSA and GSOMIA. Gripen is also not an option because it has US engine.
