bangladesh air force selected su-30sme flanker-cfighter jet under its new multirole maritime combat fighterprogram. in last week of february, 2017 bangladesh�sdefense purchase establishment directorate general of defence purchases (dgdp)has issued an international tender for eight multi-rolemaritime combat aircraft for
Offshore Job Kazakhstan, bangladesh air force (baf). which stated also option for additional fourjets too. now let�s see, why bangladesh air forceselected su-30sme flanker fighter jet while, out there, mig-35d & su-35swere viable options?
bangladesh selects su-30sme fighter plane,which is the latest advanced and high performance flanker version basedon the su-30mki. this is the export version of the su-30smwhich one is being flown by the russian aerospace forces itself. according to sources this �sme� versionis more advanced and have better performance than previoussu-30 versions. russia also offering su-30sme to the southeastasian, middle eastern, north african and latin american countries. the jet is being manufactured by the irkutcorporation for the united aircraft corporation
(uac), the umbrella organization which ownssukhoi aircraft company. kazakhstan also operating twin-seat versionof su-30sme along with russia. this flanker version has a complete russianorigin avionics suit as well as can be equipped with western sub-systemstoo. as the su-30mk, mki and other derivativesof the same design has previous good operational records andit is a proven fighter jet, bangladesh wisely decided to buy su-30smeflanker-c. it is an efficient, long range, deep strikedeadly fighter jet any country can afford. now let�s see the specifications and otherspecial features of the su-30sme flanker-c
fighter. data from the irkut corporation & sukhoi. crew: 2 weight: 17,700 kg maximum take-off weight: 34,500 kg normal take-off weight: 26,090 kg fuel capacity: 9,400 kg (normally 5,270 kg) operational range: 3,000 km at altitude & 5,600km with aerial refuelling combat radius: 1280 km
engine/powerplant: 2 � al-31fp low-bypassturbofans afterburner jet engines which has dry thrust of 75kn & thrust withafterburner 123kn each maximum speed: mach 2.0 (2,120 km/h, 1,320mph) at altitude operational ceiling: 18000 meters rate of climb: 45,275 ft/min (230 m/s) maximum g-load: +9 g weapons & armaments su-30sme has an 8,000 kg of weapons payloadon its 12 hardpoints 2 wingtip aam launch rails, 3 pylons undereach wing, 1 pylon under each engine nacelle,
and 2 pylons in tandem in the "arch" betweenthe engines 1 30 mm caliber gsh-30-1 gun (with 150 rounds) it can carry six r-27er, two r-27et, or sixr-73e & six r-77 rvv-ae air-to-air missiles (including wvr & bvr) for anti-surface/sea mission sme very muchable to carry six kh-31p/a anti-radar/ship missiles, six kh-29t/l laser guided missiles and twokh-59me air-to-surface missile/anti-ship missiles for air-to-ground mission su-30sme has a widerange of weapons options and previously bangladesh air force was inlack for such capabilities.
among them are six kab 500kr, three kab-1500kr,eight fab-500t, or twenty eight ofab-250-270 it also can carry and fire nuclear weaponstoo. su-30sme got thrust vectoring control (tvc)engine with fadec and forward canards which makes it supermaneuverable. and air superiority and ground/surface strikemissions are can be done with true multirole capabilitiesby this version of flanker-c. the su-30sme�s avionics suite has been upgradedwith some of those are categorized as fifth generation avionicsfor fighter jet planes.
this upgradation of the avionics suite ofthis flanker made it more capable combat jet. sukhoi equipped the �sme� version with the bars multipurpose fire control radar which can scan and track fifteen targets simultaneously, able to hit four of them at the same time. an �infrared search & track� or irst anda laser targeting pod has been added for target acquisition andhit it. complete avionics set of the su-30sme are russian made and sanction free for those who can be barred from western systemsonboard.
bangladesh has no such sanctions but armedforces are well known with russian made weaponryfor long. although new su-30sme flanker-c rules outfrench made avionics, it features an electro-optical targeting system(eots) which is mated with an integrated system of a laserinertial navigation system coupled with a helmet-mounted target designatorand satellite navigation system. su-30sme satellite navigation system is fullycompatible with glonass and even with navstar platforms. this eight super flanker heavy fighter jetwill complete bangladesh air force�s
no. 8 squadron which currently operating eightmig-29b/ubs. these mig-29s are going to be upgraded verysoon and a russian defense company tasked for the job. baf avoid mig-35, though it was speculatedthat bangladesh would buy it, because of the alleged incident of corruptionduring acquisition process of the mig-29s in 1999. su-30sme is very much capable to carry out�deep strike� missions or pre-emptive air interdiction missions intoenemy territory. for maritime surface offensive it is one ofthe best choice for air forces around the
globe. sukhoi�s flanker series fighter jets arethe third most favorite all over the world. bangladesh got a relatively large portionof territorial control over bay of bengal and it needs to be protected for nationalinterests. bangladesh navy has ramped up its hardwareacquisition and add submarine to the force for the firsttime. more warships for offshore and coastal defensehas been bought and being built domestically. besides navy, bangladesh air force will conductaerial offensive if needed over the territorial water bodyto support the navy.
surely this acquisition will enhance bangladeshair force�s capabilities to a new height. mig-29s are going to be upgraded to the latest standard with new avionics package, which will complement the su-30smes. baf also kept an option for four additionalfighters, for this why experts believe if the economiccondition allows bangladesh will buy the additional ones in near future.
previously bangladesh bought 16 yak-130 advancedlead-in fighter trainer jets cum light attack aircraft from russia to trainbangladeshi fighter pilots which are serving along with sino-pak k-8w karakorum and czech aero l-39za intermediate jet trainers.
