Bangladesh’s air defense system remains outdated and vulnerable despite its strategic location near India, China, and conflict-ridden Myanmar. While other nations deploy advanced multi-layered defense systems, Bangladesh relies on short-range, aging technology like the FM-90. The Air Force’s fleet includes mostly second or third-generation aircraft, ineffective against modern threats. Experts warn that without serious upgrades, the country’s security is at risk. With regional tensions escalating, military analysts urge immediate investment in radar, missiles, and drone capabilities to strengthen national defense.
