    As for navy, they are going after ASW helis when they have an almost non-existent MSAR squadron is even hilarious. More funny is they are trying to get MH_60 which can not land on any naval ships helipad as it is so big. I don't know if they are planning to do all the ASW operations from shore or what

    Its hilarious to read your comments because you don't have a clue about BN planning.

    - MH-60R or AW-159 would be used on new frigates. The OPVs indicated a rating for 11-ton helicopters.

    - BN is raising its own MSAR helicopter squadron.

    - BN is purchasing ASW simulator drones to mimic enemy submarines.

    - ASW happens to be the most complex naval operation you can imagine.

    As sad as it is the truth must be told; BAF is indeed incompetent. They are looking to fly attack helicopters when they can't ensure our airspace remains defended which is their primary task. 

    BA & BN should look to operate their own air wings to some extent, as BAF already has too much on their plate or atleast that's what it seems like looking at the way they're going about their duties.

     

    What makes you fit to judge an entire force? Attack helicopers have their place, so does MRCA. BAF is buying 56 aircraft this fiscal. An org of its size needs time to absorb the equipment because infratructure, personnel, POLs, munitions, support elements all have to be put in place. There are very few 'poor countries' buying so many new aircraft like Bangladesh does. I say this knowing Bangladesh is a LDC, buying Apache attack helicopters. Its unheard of!

  3. There will always be collection defecits because the NBR puts higher KPI in order to create pressure on reaching or exceeding some reserve targets they don't publicise. If we take in to account the independent evaluation of the country's economy then it still looks rosy.

    I'm counting on Padma bridge, Payra DSP, Khan Jahan Ali airport combined to add at least 1.5% to the economy. This includes rail road network being laid from Payra.
