Of course he is making things up. Why do you guys watch these bogus YT channels? How did this guy come to the conclusion that meeting with British PM is not important when FM stated otherwise? And this guy can't even talk properly.
But yes, there will be discussion about security and they will sign some deal, MoU but those are for connectivity and business. Unless they announce anything which is highly unlikely, don't expect too much.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has revealed more details about the planned upgrade of its FA-50 Fighting Eagle light combat aircraft, 60 examples of which are currently in service with the Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF).
Speaking to Janes at the Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition 2021 (ADEX 2021) held from 19–23 October, company officials said the upgrade, which is aimed at enhancing both the range and combat capabilities of the platform, is set to include fitting the aircraft with a conformal 300-gallon fuel tank for extended range and integrating the platform with targeting pods and new weapons systems, including mid-range air-to-surface missiles and beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles (BVRAAMs).
Potential candidates for the mid-range air-to-surface missile include Kongsberg and Raytheon's Joint Strike Missile (JSM), Roketsan's Stand-Off Missile (SOM), and the Taurus KEPD 350K-2 from Taurus Systems. That said, South Korea's Agency for Defense Development (ADD), which is also involved in the FA-50 upgrade, has also expressed its intension to develop such a missile.
According to KAI, the upgrade, which is expected to begin in 2022, will also involve fitting the aircraft with a multi-mode fire-control radar, a glass cockpit with a large area display, a helmet-mounted display, an aerial refuelling capability, electronic warfare systems, a multimode network-centric system, a new tactical data link, and a digital flight control system with triple redundancy. The move is meant to convert the FA-50, which is also being offered for export, into a “true multi-role combat aircraft”, noted KAI.
If BAF opts EFT then this could be a good cost effective option to supplement Yak-130 fleet and replace obsolete F-7 fleet while maintaining both quality and quantity at the same time.

I think this is the first time BAF plans to locally overhaul 7 K-8Ws in 214 MROU and conduct C-check inspection on one C-130J. Also it plans to install night vision system and googles in three more Mi-17. Deal will be signed during air chief's current visit in Russia.

Following the first flight on November 1, 2021, the fourth Bangladesh Air Force Lockheed C-130J, 99-5485 (S3-AGJ), has taken three more flight tests in the first week of November 2021. Their footage is compiled here to show the aircraft taking off, in flight and landing.
