Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar first told the international media Bloomberg about the downing of five jet fighters in India.
But he did not give much details at the time, although later the Pakistani Army Public Relations (ISPR) spokesman Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chowdhury claimed that three of the five downed planes of India were state-of-the-art Rafale, one Sukhoi and one MiG-29.
The BBC verified that the wrecks of a Rafale fighter jet were found in an agricultural field in Punjab, India and the army was involved in removing them.
The Rafale is the most modern and devastating fighter jet in the Indian Air Force, built by France's Dassone Aviation.
Pakistan used the J-10 CE warplane to destroy Rafale, and Bangladesh is going to buy the fighter jet, which has already been prepared for the purchase of the warplane deal, Prime Minister's Advisor Zaheed Ur Rahman recently said.
According to the BBC report, the official name of the first fighter jet that Bangladesh bought from China was F-6. In 1977, Bangladesh bought these warplanes from China.
If you go from Bijasmorani to Gita Udyan to Gita Udyan, the medium-sized warplane on the road is like this aircraft and it will be kept for an open exhibition after the flight has passed.
Although the official name is F-6, the plane is known as J-Six in China.
The name of the new warplanes that Bangladesh is now going to buy from China is J-Ten C.E.
This warplane, discussed in the recent India-Pakistan conflict, Pakistan claims to shoot down its opponent India's state-of-the-art Rafale aircraft.
The demand for the downfall of Rafale was created in the discussion, and the news analysis of China's J-Ten aircraft also came up in the international media.
Bangladesh is now talking about the collection of new fighter jets as part of its Air Force modernization plan, giving importance to the purchase of this Chinese multirole fighter jet.
It is said that the process of buying this aircraft has already progressed.
But the question is, the plan of the Air Force modernity is enough only for the fighter jets?
Considering air defense, training, maintenance of fighter jets and infrastructure, how prepared is Bangladesh?
And how much will this warplane of China change the military capacity of Bangladesh?
Which country is the first fighter of Bangladesh?
It is true that Bangladesh bought warplanes from China in 1977. But the country's first fighter jet came a few years ago in 1973-74.
At that time, Bangladesh was given a free fighter jet as a gift to the then Soviet Union.
It was the then state-of-the-art supersonic fighter jet MiG-21.
Retired Eshfaq Elahi Chowdhury, a retired Bangladesh Air Force, said, "These were very factory fresh. We got out of the factory. That means we were the first to get outside the Russian Air Force. Even India got MiG-21 after our last few years. This state-of-the-art aircraft was very much in our way.
He said, "Not only warplanes, but all kinds of missiles, bombs, rockets - we had to say that the fleet started from then. We had nothing to do. After the war, the asheets were being repaired. Even the horoscopes were sent for batch after batch training.
What is in the air force of Bangladesh now?
Bangladesh's first fighter jet is from the Soviet Union, that is MiG-21.
The original source of air force collection of the Air Force changed to China.
F-6 from China in 1977, followed by the F-7 in the 1980s.
Bangladesh has since bought warplanes but a new change in 1999 as part of the modernization.
Bangladesh then bought eight MiG-29 fighter jets from the russa, which was one of the best air defense fighter jets in the world.
But in 2026, it is seen that the fleet of Bangladesh Air Force has become quite old, one part is now immobile, another part is on the way to the old.
But the question is, what is actually there in the fleet of Bangladesh? However, no official statistics will be published.
However, the military Get a picture of it as an information-based website ‘Orpawter Bangladesh’. Where it can be seen that there are now 212 aircraft in the air force fleet of Bangladesh. Of these, 44 are aircraft.
Among these 44 warplanes, the Russian MiG-29 has eight and 36 F-7 fighter jets made by China.
There are also 14 IC-130 aircraft that are used for training but are suitable for light attacks, which are bought by Bangladesh Air Force from the Russians.
The forces are also in the force of China's FT Seven Training War Plane, two series of strategic transport aircraft of Lockheed, USA.
There are 73 helicopters in the Air Force, but there are data in Bangladesh, including 36 helicopters of the Misrata Mi series.
And there are 24 different models of helicopters in the United States, Cessna, Bell.
In addition to this, Bangladesh also uses some training aircraft and helicopters bought from France, Italy, Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic).
The website says that 44 drones have been carried by the Bangladeshi military, including 36 Sloveneets, which are Slovenite, Bramer C4 Eye.
The TB 2 made in Turkey has TB 2. They were added last year.
Former Air Force vice-change Marshal M Abul Bashar said, "Bangladesh's MiG-29 is a bit modern, but it is also old in the present age. Apart from that, all the rest of us are older 3-G technologies. But now the war is going on, four-point 5G and even 5-G technology stealth aircraft are being used. So Bangladesh's aviation is not an option to modernize. Now the aircraft that are being brought from China are modern Four POWs.
Is it enough to just buy a warplane?
Bangladesh is buying 20 state-of-the-art fighter jets of China as part of the modernization of the Bangladesh Air Force, which is called multirole fighter jet.
That is, the aircraft are air defenses at the same time as multi-purpose.
It is used to prevent air-to-air support i.e. airspace.
Essentially, if there is any target on the soil of the enemy country, there is a skill in bombing there.
Close Autar Support i.e. the army is fighting somewhere, this aircraft can support them in the maritime autor support i.e. support the navy in the sea.
He also said, this is an airplane, which we are going to buy, it alone can do all kinds of work.
He also said that in modern warfare The success of the war also depends on the combination of radar, jamming technology, and important use of the warplanes, which are also a kind of ‘realtime’ combination of aircraft-naval-army weapons equipment.
What is the reason for the Chinese dependence?
Bangladesh multi-dimensional military Wanted to build capacity but it turns out, for this, the country is largely dependent on Chinese equipment and technology.
From naval submarines to warships or army tanks, armored vehicles to air defenses - everything comes from China.
The Bangladesh Navy has two submarines, both of which are made in China and are added to the Navy in 2017.
According to the information of the global issuer, Bangladesh Navy has 117 boats in all mills. Out of which seven frigates or warships are available.
There are also sixth Corvette warships, four of the Corvette ships, China and two from the United Kingdom.
The manufacturer of four of the frigates is China, the two are the United States and one is South Cor.
But how did China become the main source of Bangladesh's military equipment?
