J-10 Thread IV

[gelgoog]

Bangladesh needed new aircraft since those they have are pretty much obsolete. J-10 is a good purchase for them.

I will believe it when I see it in BAF colours inside the country.

I have been seeing the buying J-10 rumours since 2011.


Edit-In High school, I had a J-10 photoshopped with a BAF roundel as my twitter profile pic, that's how embarassing the J-10 saga has been for me. The Airforce kept dicking around for years, after the first J-10 rumours, until they finally did buy some new Chinese birds...... another batch of J-7s......... I have literal PTSD. If news later comes out that Chengdu reopened their F-7 production line so that Bangladesh can buy 16 more F-7BGTVXII, remember you heard it here first.

Bangladesh has much higher GDP than Pakistan. They should be procuring more numbers of advanced jets, AD and other systems. But somehow their military spending is extremely low to non-existant.

GDP is a misleading figure. While our GDP might be higher than Pakistan's, our military infrastructure and technological know how is world's apart.

You cannot buy your way into a formidable military. It takes decades of build up and national will to beef up a military.

Also our miitary is not and should not be a priority. We are still poor and our economy is almost one product based only. Our spending priority is now on infrastructure and human capital development. With that being said, our air force procurement has been pathetic for years now. If we do get the J-10C, and i hope we do, it will be an investment that should have been made years ago.

Me too, we are reading such rumours since years from different sources of varying credibility …
