They are receiving those as gratis.But they may buy more in future or get Turkish equivalent.
I don't understand what makes you say that.But if you got professional insight,documents,articles or anything about our trainer and UAV project that supports your claim you can post it here.
If you have not been familiar with the baf for the last couple of decades for their stunts and disappointments, then there are these obvious reasons for you to disbelieve what I said and will say. What articles and documents? This just made me laugh in a country where defense, its value, and open discussions about it are still considered somewhat taboo, and the sector has been under the slow influence of direct politicization. The symptoms and indications are there. Not to mention, there is a large group of people who are against the defense procurements, I think you know who we are talking about and their agenda here, at least. Anyway, do you consider Baf has any detterence or has had any for the last 15 years? If you also believe the revelation of trainers just two months before is just a coincidence, not the past year or next year, then I have nothing to say. Trainers and UAVs are not replaceable with fighter jets or kopters right now and probably for the next decade, especially for a country like BD when they are completely new in here.
Baf also could have gotten many gratis, right? like the Navy and Army, but they did not.
