Bangladesh is one of the most countries in the world. I was just pointing out that some Western countries are also corrupt.

I know that during the Khaleda Zia government, there was a plan to purchase Western jets, and they, therefore, acquired Aero L-39 jet trainers, which could simulate an F-16-type cockpit experience. BAF afterwords changer their plan and decided to acquire Russian jets and, thus, purchased these YAK-130 trainers.
