Issues with land acquisition. The most ideal place for a new airport was at arial beel but clashes with locals that were fanned by local politicians and businessmen stopped the process.

BTV should take notes from these guys on how to shoot a parade and fly-past properly

Sydney, Tokyo, New York and Toronto are in the pipeline. I saw Airport authorities installing the scanners necessary to get FAA cat-1 rating so that's not far away. I think they will probably restart one of the european routes. Probably Rome

India inducted a Brahmos equipped Su-30mki squadron in Thanjuvar, South India.

p-8 can be a possibility as the USN even let BAF pilots fly them during an exercise. As for the c-17, we have no other choice but to request surplus C-17s from current users. The production line is already closed and India was the last recipient.

Found some IAF pics from their Republic Day Parade rehearsals so I thought I might share them here.

Aside from occasional separated incidents of provocations in the border and the usual internet fights, Myanmar itself is not interested in starting a war with any of its neighbors unless they are backed into a corner. Their current strategy from the looks of their procurement pattern lies around dealing with the various large separatist armies spread all over their country while putting up enough of a presence to deter any potential first strikes by an enemy. Given that Bangladeshi policy of not being the nation that would start a war never changed under any political party, I don't see Bangladesh to be the country that would fire the first shots either.

Biman pilled out of buying the additional 4 Dreamliners right now. I think it was a wise decision given the fact that buying additional aircraft on a whim without prior route planning would be counterproductive

We don't really have a choice at this stage.
