SK uses a lot of Thales sensor equipment and US weaponry. Myanmar uses technology from e.g. Russia (Kh/35 / SS-N-25, Igla manpads) , China (CODAD diesel powerplant, AK630, C802, ASW tubes/torpedoes, ASW rockets/launchers, Z-9) and India (radar, sonar, 76mm).3rd party technology transfer issues likely. most recent example of Turkish Altay MBT engine TOT transfer issue as Austria imposed sanctions on turkey for its 2016 coup. SK does use western components as nothing is 100% indigenous anymore. I'm not aware of Myanmar shipbuilding efforts.
These ships feature a stealthy superstructure with two masts and a helicopter hangar. The platform has a length of 106 m and a beam of about 13.5 m. It is powered by two Chinese-assembled Pielstick 16 cylinder PA6 STC engines from Shaanxi Diesel Engine company.
The frigate is equipped with an India-supplied RAWL-02 (license-built Thales LW-08) 2D air search radar on the mainmast, a Chinese Type 362 missile-targeting radar in a radome atop the foremast along with two fire control radars - most likely Chinese Type 47 series. An India-made HMS-X hull-mounted sonar system is also fitted to the frigates.
Weapons include one [Indian made] Oto Melara 76 mm gun in a stealthy gun mount and three Chinese NG-18 systems for close-in defence. A North Korean-origin box launcher for six man-portable air defence system (MANPADS) is also fitted on the foredeck along with two North Korean small calibre gun mounts on the bridge wings.
But its however you want to dress this one up from scratch.
Eg. Chinese ASW rockets, Chinese 76mm, 1x8 HQ10, 2x4 C-802A, 2x3 TR ASW 324mm, 2x NG-18, 1x8 HQ10
