Bangladesh has taken an initiative to purchase modern J-10CE multirole fighter jets from China to enhance the country's defense capability. To this end, a draft agreement has been prepared and sent to the Armed Forces Division and concerned ministries for approval.
The J-10CE is a modern medium-weight multirole fighter jet. It features advanced radar, long-range air-to-air missiles, and modern combat capabilities. As the Bangladesh Air Force has long been using various Chinese technology-based platforms, it is expected that the addition of this new fighter jet will provide advantages in training and maintenance.
