There has been unnecessary and baseless talk circulating, fuelled by misinformation and accepted by some, regarding the Bangladesh Air Force, which BDMilitary.com aims to clarify.
The Government of Bangladesh and the Bangladesh Air Force currently have no plans to establish an airbase in Lalmonirhat, Nilpharmari or its surrounding regions. In fact, there are no plans for any new bases at all.
We kindly urge you to think practically and not support misguided rumours.
There is an Air Station in Lalmonirhat that was previously used for dairy and vegetable farming. This facility has now been handed over to the Bangladesh Aviation and Aerospace University for its permanent campus. Future plans include creating an industrial hub for aerospace manufacturing and repair, dependent on foreign investment and technical collaboration.
The Bangladesh Air Force has long been working towards acquiring new MRCA, but factors such as unstable foreign reserves have hindered progress. The interim government, led by Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, will not make any major defence-related decisions during this period.
We ask you to disregard rumours from YouTubers seeking to profit from your attention. The claim that the Bangladesh Air Force is purchasing J-10C aircraft is completely false and has no basis within the Air Force headquarters. The J-10C is a single-engine aircraft, categorised as MMRCA, not MRCA.
