Bangladesh Air Force Mig-29s: BVR Capable?

The picture shows BAF's Mig-29B/UB carrying R-27R (AA-10 Alamo) & R-73 (AA-11 Archer) A-A Missiles.

PAF is in the phase of developing new tactics on JF-17 Thunder against Rafale & Mig-29.

Also Thunder in case of 1 vs 1 scenario is no match for Rafale but that's not how modern air warfare works.

AWACS, Airborne Jammers, support structure & tactics matter alot. 1/N Take example of Operation Swift Retort executed by Pakistan Air Force on 27th February 2019 in which PAF's F-16s shot down IAF's Mig-21 Bison and Su-30MKI using AIM-120C5 BVRM.

The role of Saab-2000 (AWACS) & DA-20 (Airborne Jammer) was VERY significant. 2/N

EXPLAINED: PAKISTAN’S MISSILES, WHY WE TEST THEM? 🇵🇰

India in double trouble 🇮🇳 🇮🇷 🔥

After kicking out India from "Chabahar Railway Project".

Iran has kicked India out of "Farzad-B Gas Field" developing project.

Both these projects were the core of Iran-India relationship.

#IranKicksIndia

#IranPakistanChinaRussia Furthermore it means that Iran will stop harboring/supporting BLA/BLF/BRA since all these terrorist organisations are brain child of India (RAW).

All Win-Win situation for Pakistan, China & 🇮🇷 meanwhile a nightmare for India all the planing, funding & investment vanished 😉.

Update on Pakistan: "Iran's involvement in PSE Attack" 🇵🇰

1/n a). Iran has around USD 700-800 million worth of illegal trade from Pakistan's Baluchistan. Since Pakistan has decided to fence Baluchistan border Iran is worried about its illegal trade.
