Bangladesh plans to buy 20 Chinese J-10CE jets for $2.2 billion to modernize its air force.
Bangladesh is moving forward with plans to purchase up to 20 Chinese J-10CE fighter jets in a deal worth $2.2 billion, including training and maintenance, according to reports citing government documents and officials.
The acquisition, part of the Forces Goal 2030 modernization effort, aims to replace aging F-7 and MiG-29 aircraft, following a deadly July crash.
The J-10CE’s performance in recent regional conflicts has bolstered its appeal, though Western options like the Eurofighter Typhoon were also evaluated.
Delivery is expected between 2026 and 2027, with payments spread over ten years.
While no official confirmation has been made, discussions during a visit by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus to China indicate strong interest.
The deal could enhance Bangladesh’s air defense capabilities in the Bay of Bengal and along its borders, though geopolitical factors remain a consideration.
