In Bangladesh, anyone may find every type of show hall imaginable. One of these establishments is the BAF Exhibition Hall, which showcases the history of the Bangladesh Air Force.

It's great to see work being done to compile an archive of Bangladesh's air force's history and traditions. Compared to other museums, this one is unique. This space is open to the public. Situated in an open green woodland, this ancient museum offers a wonderful setting.
To go there, we need to buy tickets at the ticket stand.

Bangladesh's Air Force began using this Chinese-made plane in 1986. This plane was designed to attack. This plane can haul almost 3,000 pounds, or 1,570 kilograms, of cargo, and it can also carry a guided air-to-air missile. Air-to-ground attack was a key function of this plane. To a maximum altitude of 16,500 kilometers, it may soar. Its dimensions are 14.2 feet in height and 6.375 kilograms in mass. Its Length Is 51.33 Feet.

The Indian Air Force began using the MIG-21 FL fighter aircraft for the first time in 1963. During our Liberation War, the Indian Air Force employed these planes to launch air-to-air and ground-to-ground attacks. This plane was donated to the Bangladesh Air Force by the Indian Air Force in recognition of their support during the Liberation War in Bangladesh.

The Chinese made the GCA-711A RADAR. In 1987, the Ban- gladesh Air Force began using this RADAR. This RADAR can go wherever you go. This RADAR was useful for landing in hazardous conditions and guiding the pilot with accurate instructions. Up until 2007, this RADAR was used by the Bangladesh Air Force.
BOMB 1000LBS MK7

IMG_5759.JPG

The 1,000-pound MK 7 bomb is a multi-role weapon commonly dropped from military planes. As its name implies, this bomb had a moderately sized casing and payload.
The 1000-pound MK-7 Tail Unit 107 bomb has dimensions of 53 inches in length and 16.50 inches in breadth, and it was developed in Britain. The bomb's architecture is quite similar to that of US general purpose bombs, with its parallel sides, ogival nose, and modest rear taper. Due to problems with its center of gravity, MK variants such as the MK III and MK V were instantly deemed obsolete, and only the long-tail versions of these tanks, the MK Vil and MK XII, were updated with the American twin sus- pension lugs that produced a solid nose with superior welds at the after end and fuzed both the nose and the tail.
