Warplanes are a topic of shame for Bangladesh anyway. A country where over 80% of the people are poor buying fighters is nothing to be proud of. Who on earth would invade or attack Bangladesh? Bangladesh doesn't even need such a huge army let alone an air force and navy! What Bangladesh should concentrate on now is human capital formation. Basic education is a must.
Weirdest thing is after the very common yearly floods, irrespective of who is in power, you will see the Prime Minister on tv appealing for international aid. Bangladesh government experts also said that due to the most recent floods, Bangladesh will take around 10 years (forgot the exact figure) to recover. So on one side, you appeal for aid and and on the other side, you buy fighters for a useless air force.

Where's the logic?
