Bangladesh Army Bell 407
The first of two Bangladesh Army Aviation Group (AAG) Bell 407GXi, serial S3-BRA, was recently spotted over Tejgaon. The second one is reported to be registered S3-BRN.
The new helicopters will be replacing the Bell 206L-4 in army service. Recently, two Bell 407s were exported to Bangladesh, C-GUHF (construction number 54892) and C-GUHU (c/n 54895). Unfortunately the tie-up is not known yet.
In January 2020, Scramble Magazine reported on the requirement for a new helicopter and the Bell 429 and 412 were said to be on the shortlist, but in the end the army went for the 407 model.

The QW-18A is an improved version of the QW-18 which is a portable air defense missile system with anti-infrared capability omnidirectionally against low and very low altitude air targets with a flight speed of more than 300 m/s.
The QW-18 can be integrated with other air defense weapon systems to create a complete air defense system able to destroy any type of aerial threat. It can be extended into air-to-air missiles, ship-to-air missiles on small vessels, and missile-gun air defense weapon systems.
The QW-18 can be used against aerial targets with a range from 500 to 5,000 m and an altitude from 10 to 4,000 m. The QW-18A delivered to the Bangladesh Navy features electric-servo control actuators to increase guidance and flight characteristics offering better capabilities against cruise missiles at supersonic speed.
The use of MANPADS onboard vessels offers a low-cost solution to protect ships against aerial threats, particularly those without a combat system. It can be used to protect surface vessels against most conventional airborne threats such as anti-ship missiles, combat aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs.
Bangladesh to get 8 Mi-28NE helicopters Emphasis has been placed on further enhancing the capabilities of the Bangladesh Air Force in the Forces Goal-2030 to ensure a strong national defense system. As part of this, eight Mi-28 NE attack helicopters are being purchased from Russia. It will cost around Tk 4,100 crore to buy these helicopters. This information has been known from the sources of the Ministry of Finance
The Mi-28NE “Night Hunter” is a modern attack helicopter designed to carry out search and destroy operations against tanks, armoured and un-armoured vehicles, and enemy personnel in combat, as well as low-speed airborne targets. It can operate night and day, and in adverse weather conditions (Picture source: Russian Helicopters)
A proposal has recently been sent to the finance ministry for pre-approval on the purchase of helicopters from Russia. It said policy approval was given for the purchase of eight MI-28 NE attack helicopters for the Bangladesh Air Force in the current and next financial year through direct negotiations with the Government of Russia, the selling country under GTG (Government with Government) or its designated agency. It will cost approximately 4 thousand 100 crore.
The Mi-28 attack helicopter has a powerful armament system, which includes a movable automatic 30-mm cannon with a left-right swing range of ± 110 °, anti-tank guided missiles of three types with a range of 6 and 10 kilometers, and air-to-air guided missiles, unguided rockets of two types, suspended cannon containers, aerial bombs up to 500 kg.
The rotor blades of the "Night Hunter" are capable of withstanding the impact of a 30 mm projectile. Its engines of increased power - 2400 hp. each. Flight with one engine is possible if the other is damaged. "Night Hunter" has high survivability. The windshield and side windows of the cockpit are armored. The Mi-28NE cockpit is protected by ceramic armor. Mi-28NE is capable of efficiently performing assigned tasks in hot climates. It is equipped with a new screen-exhaust and dust protection device.

Bangladesh Navy could acquire Kawasaki P-1 maritime patrol aircraft
According to information published by Defseca on January 7, 2021, the Bangladesh Navy can look into purchasing the Japanese-made Kawasaki P-1 maritime patrol aircraft.
The Kawasaki P-1 (previously P-X, XP-1) is Japanese maritime patrol aircraft developed and manufactured by Kawasaki Aerospace Company.
It has the distinction of being the first operational aircraft in the world to make use of a fly-by-optics control system.
The P-1 has entered service with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) as a replacement for the P-3C Orion. On 26 March 2013, the JMSDF took delivery of the first two operational P-1 aircraft.
Export customers are also being sought for the type as part of a general loosening of Japanese military export restrictions.
The Kawasaki P-1 is a purpose-built maritime patrol aircraft equipped with four engines. The P-1 is powered by four podded IHI F7-10 turbofan engines underneath the low-set wings.
The P-1 is equipped with various sensors to enable the aircraft to perform its primary purpose of detecting submarines and surface vessels; these include the Toshiba HPS-106 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar which uses a total of four antennas to provide 360-degree coverage and Infrared/Light detection systems for surface detection

Le Bangladesh désire un avion de combat occidental !
Fini les avions russes ou chinois, le Bangladesh veut un nouvel avion de combat occidental. Le pays a besoin de 16 nouveaux avions de combat multirôles (MRCA) pour augmenter et éventuellement remplacer ses Chengdu F-7 et MiG-29 vieillissants. Pour l’armée de l’air, les aéronefs occidentaux présentent des avantages significatifs par rapport aux types russes et chinois en termes de maintenance, d’économie de carburants et de longévités. Mais il semble également que le point de vue politique pousse le pays en direction de l’Occident.
Actuellement le Bangladesh dispose force d'environ 44 avions de combat composée MiG-29 et MiG-29UB de 28 Chengdu, de F -7BG et FT-7BG ainsi que des F-7MB. En parallèle, le pays a réceptionné 16 avions d'entraînement Yakovlev Yak-130 commandés en 2013. Dans le cadre de son appel d’offres, le pays désire un avion de combat multirôle avec un ou deux moteurs. La charge utile minimale sera de cinq tonnes avec au moins huit points d'emport d'armes. Des stipulations supplémentaires exigent que le nouveau chasseur soit équipé d'un radar actif à balayage électronique (AESA) avec une portée air-air de 93 milles et une portée air-sol de 31 milles, une recherche et une poursuite infrarouges (IRST) et une suite intégrée de guerre électronique (IEW) et de contre-mesures électroniques (ECM).
Trois candidats
A l’heure actuelle trois appareils semblent prêts pour concourir, il s’agit de l’Airbus Eurofighter T4 Quadriga, du Saab Gripen E MS21 et du Lockheed Martin F-16V Block70/72. Apriori, le Rafale français ne fait pas partie des palpable et ceci à cause du différend qui oppose le Bangladesh à l’Inde.
Eurofighter Typhon II Quadriga
Airbus Defence and Space a étoffé ses propositions de poursuivre le développement de l'Eurofighter « Typhoon II » pour la Luftwaffe avec plus de détails. L’Espagne est également impliquée dans l’effort, qui diverge dans une certaine mesure de la feuille de route pour les Eurofighter britanniques. Pour l'Allemagne, le développement est basé sur deux exigences : le programme Quadriga pour remplacer les typhons de Tranche 1 vieillissants et limités en technologie de la Luftwaffe et un besoin ultérieur de remplacer la flotte de Tornado.
Les Eurofighter tranche 4 « Quadriga » comporteront une suite d'aides défensives améliorées et un radar AESA. Ce standard disposera du radar AESA CAPTOR-E à balayage électronique. L’arrivée du CAPTOR-E permet grâce à son antenne AESA d’effectuer des tâches multiples simultanément. Le nouveau radar conserve les principales caractéristiques de l'architecture du radar CAPTOR-M actuel, mais, il est doté d’une antenne AESA en lieu et place de l’actuelle antenne mécanique.
L’avion disposera également d’une nouvelle architecture en termes d’avionique avec un grand écran multifonctions spécifiquement adapté à la guerre en réseau (Electronic Warfare) produit pas BAe Systems. La puissance électronique sera d’ailleurs démultipliée à cet effet, pour pouvoir travailler en réseau.
Saab Gripen E
Le JAS-39 Gripen E MS21 dispose du radar AESA ES05 « Raven » couplé au système SWASHPLATE offrant une plage de détection démultipliée unique. L’avion a reçu un IRST (Infra-Red Seach and Track) Skyward-G produit par Selex-ES qui permet la transmission de données d’acquisition entre les appareils. Contrairement aux versions précédentes le Gripen E dispose d’une nouvelle architecture électronique (Net Centric Warfare - NCW). Le nouveau système central PPLI (Precise Participant Location and Identification) et relie l’ensemble aux pistes des capteurs internes et externes (RAVEN, IRST, EW39, pod ATFLIR) pour ensuite offrir les meilleures réponses aux menaces. L’avion est motorisé avec le General-Electric F-414G avec mode « SuperCruise ». Le nouveau système de guerre électronique (Warfare System) une détection des missiles en approche de type électro-optique EW39 (ultra-violet) qui fonctionne avec les lances-leurres Saab BOH/BOL de dernière génération (ADIS) couplés avec le système d'alerte aéroporté passif (PAWS-2) d'Elbit Systems. Le Gripen E emporte une large variété de missiles : AIM-9X, IRIS-T, A-Darter, Python, AMRAAM, Meteor, RBS14, Maverick, Brimstone, Taurus KEPD, ainsi que la panoplie complète des bombes à guidage laser/GPS.
Lockheed-Martin F-16 « Viper » Block70/72
Le Lockheed-Martin F-16 « Viper » Block70/72 est le dernier et le plus avancé de la famille des « Fighting Falcon ». La configuration F-16V comprend de nombreuses améliorations destinées à maintenir le F-16 à la pointe des avions de combat. Selon Lockheed-Martin, cette nouvelle version va fournir des capacités de combat de pointe tout en restant une solution évolutive et abordable pour le client.
Le F-16V dispose d’un nouveau radar à antenne électronique Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Northrop-Grumman APG-83 « Radar Scalable Agile Beam ». L'APG-83 fournit aux pilotes une vision inégalée en matière de détail de la zone de cibles et d’affichages cartographiques numérique couplé à un système IRST. L’avionique est également améliorée avec un écran géant 6x8 central (CPD) à haute résolution, un nouveau bus de données à haute vitesse. Les capacités opérationnelles sont améliorées grâce à un nouveau système de liaisons de données Link-16 « Theater Data Link », l’adjonction de la dernière version de la nacelle de désignation « Sniper », d’un nouveau système de navigation et de précision par GPS. L’avion est également doté du système automatique Ground Collision Avoidance (Auto GCAS). En matière d’armement, le F-16V permet d’emporter l’ensemble des armes disponibles et futures en de l’US Air Force.
