Hongdu JL-8 sounds more suitable for the role the training jets are meant for. PM mentioned that, 9 units will be procured. I am guessing here that they will be bought to replace the 9 FT-6 in BAF inventory as the A-5C and FT-6 are scheduled to be retired before 2018. Guys: for your better...

Does anyone have any idea of the type of Jet trainer BAF is getting from China?? I know they are getting 9 Jet trainers from china.

The aircraft type was not disclosed in either news..

The daily star news: A training aircraft of Bangladesh Air Force made an emergency landing at Chittagong airport after one of its tires caught fire this afternoon. The pilot, Flight Lieutenant Adib, suffered minor injuries during the emergency landing at Shah Amanat International Airport around...

India should pray that Hasina stays in power. Otherwise, who knows who is who's private property.. This contract will be made illegal by the next govt.(BNP/Jamat/3rd party) and they will pass it in parliament. India should pray that Hasina stays in power forever....

Come on guys, please do not joke about our financial capabilities. Coz its growing fast.

Bangladesh is not financially capable enough to buy that kind of ships (Type-54A/54B?). I highly appreciate the BAL govt. though for the wise investment in Navy. With very limited budget they have bought a lot: 1x Hamilton class frigate 2x Type-53H2 Frigates 2x Type-56 Corvettes 2x Castle class...

K has a larger wing, reinforced air-frame, reinforced landing gear, has an arresting hook for carrier based operation, can carry all the weapons of Mig-29M/M2/SMT, has advanced and more powerful engine, Zhuk-ME radar, 4-5 times smaller radar signature due to...

BNS Somudro Joy at Perl Harbour Off the Shelf means they are second hand. They are delivered from their own shelf to yours. Anyway, the submarine you are talking about will not be there for attacking purposes, rather, their purposes are to train our surface shippers to deal with submarines...
