Bangladesh wants Rafale fighters as broader effort to modernize Bangladesh Air Force
I prefer J-10C from China. It's cheap and easy to maintain. Supply of spare parts is guaranteed.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.

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.It has low reliability, substandard weapons and poor electronics.
Sovereignty comes first not the economy.Focus in Bangladesh - as it exists and will remain for the near future, is to improve the economy. End of story.

China has reverse engineered Russian engine which works just fine.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 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 by your own money.China has reverse engineered Russian engine which works just fine.
