Integrated Air Defence Analysis: Bangladesh

Reading Time: 39 minutes This comprehensive report presents a detailed assessment of Bangladesh’s evolving air defence posture amid increasing regional security challenges. Centred on the induction of the SİPER Long-Range Air Defence System from Türkiye and the FK-3 Medium-Range Air Defence System from China, it examines how these assets—supported by an expanding radar network and fighter-interceptor fleet—will transform Bangladesh’s defensive architecture into a fully integrated, layered shield. The study evaluates system specifications, deployment strategies, interoperability with existing radars, and counter-threat doctrines against modern adversaries such as India’s advanced combat aircraft and emerging drone warfare capabilities. Drawing on both technical data and strategic modelling, the report outlines the command structures, readiness procedures, and operational synergies required to ensure sustained national air sovereignty. It concludes with recommendations to consolidate industrial partnerships and enhance rapid-reaction capability across the Air Defence Command and Control framework.
