BAF needs to put more money into research and development to make her self-reliant. The current allocation of money to R&D is ridiculously low which is impeding the overall development of Bangladesh Air Force. The attached article talks about the present situation of BAF's R&D sector and also discusses its position vis a vis other air forces in the region.
