It is very interesting to note that most of the BD military hardware purchase news come from foreign sources. Govt and the military, for obvious reasons, do not divulge our military purchasing secrets. They open the news on naval ship purchasing only because these vessels cannot be kept under secrecy. Our DGFI is probably very strict with our newspapers not to publish any unauthorized topics.

The source of the present news is Russia, and seeing it and then considering with the fact that our air-vice marshal went to a China visit only two months ago, I think the news is valid. So, BD is considering also to purchase F-10 as well as JF-17. It is a great news. I am personally happy that the Chinese govt is ready as usual to co-operate with our country in defence matters.

If the news is true then i Think bangladesh will go for either jf-17 or J-10 not both of them as it will not be a viable option due to the limited budget and also the limited number of aircrafts to be acquired .
 
If True, Good News for bangladesh national Security, what about Their Mig 29's , they still flying?

Obviously. Like as the budget issue as they mentioned. Why would they buy F-7bg when they want to buy JF-17. They shouldn't buy more F-7's if they want to buy JFT. Or else they couldn't buy J-10.

:frown:
 
as far as I know The decision for additional migs are scraped right now as the military is more interested to buy jf17 or f-10.

Jf-17 will be a cheap option for BAF and they can buy them in large numbers with minimum amount of money as compared to mig-29 ,almost 2.5 jf-17's for 1 ming-29

Mig-29s did not cost much too, may be around 30-35 million only for a new multi role SMT model. And they operate the same for long and there would not be more ground works to be done. In case JFT, they need all infrastructure & facilities as new.

I read that the competition was between J-10 and Mig-29

I think F-7bg is stop gap option until better option arrive and it was taken most probably in 2005/2006

both can be purchase ,j-10 for air superiority and jf-17 fo intercepter to gradually replace f-7/f-6 etc from the fleet .

agreed

purchase price is not the only criteria for selecting any aircraft operational cost maintenance cost is high for us

unlikely
