C in C and Indian Defence Minister met in Russia. Kilo sub, Su 30 training, naval elecronic systems are top of the agenda.

C in C visit.

Su 30 is expensive but we need at least 18 Multi Role fighters. ToT should be considered only if you are intended to mass produce. As MAF requirements are just 18-24 JF 17, ToT is not an optimal choice. With current budget MAF cannot maitain a large airforce. 60-70 fighters with 80%...

These are not tanks. Some 150 x EE 9 Cascaval (6x6) and 100 x AML 90 (4x4) scout vehicle both uses the same turret with 90 mm cannon. Israeli modifications of EE 9 and AML 90 include the muzzle brake and recoil brake to fire APFSDS ammunition, night vision devices and laser range finders. MM...

Preshipment inspection osf Su 30SMEs, negotiations for second batch of Su30, Kamov ASW helo and Kilo are expected during his trip.

Don't know yet. But May be 1 or 2 years. Building a new type of frigate always take about six years including the designing period. As MN started the program in 2015, it will not be completed before the end of 2021.

commissioning ceremony are put on hold due to the virus. Ships ready to be commissioned are 2 x 67 meter ASW coevettes, 1/2 x 49 meter FAC(missile), some LCUs and LCMs and Kilo sub from India. Ships ready to be launched are 135 meter frigate and 89 meter OPV.

Ship building is still ongoing. The impact of virus is relatively light in MM with less than 300 positive cases and only 6 death. Within the military only one local case so far. 5 officers were tested posive in Russia. And 5 officers and OR, returnees from India, were also tested positive...

87% based on 2014 census.

All the AF bases are being modified to accommodate incoming Su 30. The trucks are probably TEL vehicles for S 75M Volga SAM. MAF use S 75M Volga SAM for airfield protection. Eventhough KS 1B are inducted, Volga are kept upgraded and digitized to serve as an effective static AD system.

Without US approval both Japan and ROK won't sell anything to Myanmar Armed Forces. So getting fighter aircraft from those countries are highly unlikely.

Except for Su 30, MAF can overhaul almost every aircraft in its inventory. Even overhaul facilities for JF 17 and Yak 130 are being negotiaed. MAF has overhaul facilities for MiG 29, F 7 and A 5 and K 8W are produced locally. It means that MAF is self sufficient for a certain period of time...

A lot of new ships are spotted in the Naval Dockyard including corvette, ASW corvettes and 49 metre FAC (missile)(stealth feature). Two ASW corvettes and one 49 metre FAC are already launched, conducting sea trails and about to be commissioned soon. One 49 metre FAC is ready to be launched on...

Found it on Google Earth. Any idea of this elongated thing next to the LPD?

We don't need any new SMG. SMG is used only by some CS/CSS units.

We don’t need any aircraft for counter insurgency operations. We have Yak 130s with KAB 500Kr bombs. We have used those KAB 500Kr extensively in Rakhine in 2019 and it proved very effective. The reason for not using large scale air strikes is due to the political reasons. As far as I am aware...
