Bangladesh Air Force's MiG-29Bs are being sent to be upgraded to MIG-29BM standard which will be capable of firing Kh-31 anti-ship missiles as well as the anti-radiation missile variants.

They will accord the Bangladesh Air Force with a vital maritime strike and SEADS capability.

The F-7BGs and F-7BGIs will be provided with Turkish PGMs on top of existing LS-6 from China.


As for the new fighter jets to be procured under the Forces Goal 2030 plan, it has not been disclosed which aircraft BAF is going to purchase. Rumours amongst the air force vary from Swedish Gripens to Russian Su-30MKB to Eurofighter Typhoon, the latter one was offered to BAF by the Royal Air Force earlier this year.

That's interesting.

That's interesting.

These Bangladeshi troops will not engage militarily in any war on Saudi Arabia’s behalf.
They will, however, play an advisory role, take part in landmine-sweeping along the Saudi-Yemen border, and civil construction under a memorandum of understanding (MoU).




Bangladesh also has a brigade sized force based in Kuwait which is tasked for the defence of the State of Kuwait.

Every six years the two countries renew the defence co-operation pact in which the Bangladesh Army helps in the defence of Kuwait, trains its forces and also provides expertise in maintaining the Kuwaiti land forces weapons and equipment.
The Bangladeshi Army has significantly contributed towards demining efforts in the Middle Eastern country which suffered from the invasion by Iraq that left the country littered with mines and other types of hazardous objects and UXOs.

Pictured here are Bangladeshi soldiers patrolling the Iraq-Kuwaiti border.

How does that work? Do the Kuwaitis pay Bangladesh?

How does that work? Do the Kuwaitis pay Bangladesh?

I am not very sure but that seems to be the greatest possibility given there is no major military or economic cooperation between Bangladesh and Kuwait.

saudi had paki soldiers 2 divisions?

I have no idea.
