Bangladesh Advances Talks with China to Acquire J-10CE Fighter Jets and Helicopters
Bangladesh is advancing toward formal negotiations with China to purchase J-10CE fighter jets and attack helicopters, with a government panel drafting an agreement. The acquisition, potentially involving up to 24 aircraft, aims to modernize Bangladesh's air force and would be among its largest defense procurements. China, already the country's main arms supplier, has provided various military equipment over two decades. Details on pricing, delivery, and exact quantities remain under negotiation. The J-10CE's performance in regional conflicts has drawn attention, though some claims about its use remain disputed.
