Military analyst says Myanmar Navy can't compete with Bangladesh's
The capabilities of the Myanmar Navy may have been over estimated according to a military researcher of a pro-democracy Myanmar group.
A Burmese military analyst said Burma's navy could not compete with Bangladesh's if the two countries come to blow over ongoing maritime boundary dispute in the Gulf of Bengal.
U Htay Aung from research and documentation department of Thailand-based Network for Democracy and Development said the Burmese Navy's weaponry and tactical skills are no match for those of Bangladesh.
"The Burmese government only has a few warships bought from China that break down often even during military exercises," said U Htay Aung.
"Many Burmese naval ships in Heingyi Island base were also destroyed by Cyclone Nargis," he said
