China sells Myanmar strategic HQ-12 missiles

According to Russian media, early November 2013, the Myanmar armed forces has signed a contract to buy 4 system of air defense missile midrange KaiShan 1A (also known as KS-1A), export variant of the Hongqi-10 (HQ-12) of China, to equip a regiment of air defence. With this agreement, Myanmar has become the first foreign country to use anti-aircraft missile system KS-1A. Lot is expected, the rockets will be delivered to Myanmar in June this year.

The China News , China recently has the article explain why Myanmar again choose rocket HQ-12. The following are the reasons for which the China News :

The ability to attack multiple targets

HQ-12 advent system to replace the HQ-2 missiles obsolete. Seen from the outside, can see discarded HQ-12 difference was not large in comparison to rocket HQ-2, equipped with a new radar.

Reliance on any information published at the Zhuhai airshow, this radar has the ability to attack multiple targets, which can simultaneously track 10 targets and guide the missile attack which targets 3.

Rocket HQ-12 using the Launcher in use are relatively common in the Navy’s air defense missile, but he at least found in land-based missiles. In comparison with the HQ-2 missile launchers, HQ-12 was simplified. HQ-12 solid-fuel engines, with a range of 5-50 miles.
Affordability

At present, Europe and America do not care for medium-range air defense missiles, and Russia still have large product quantities may provide but the price is equivalent to expensive, so the selection of medium-range anti-aircraft missiles for the country with tight defense budget on the international market is very limited. Therefore, the HQ-12 in line with the developing countries like Myanmar due to relatively cheap.

Besides, Myanmar has border with China’s Yunnan province to hand over the equipment or the supply component parts may be made directly on the Mainland without chain shipping on the sea.

The army’s air defense capabilities Myanmar relatively weak.According to figures made public today, Myanmar’s air defense weapons mainly artillery and high defense missile, the weapon failed to meet the air force’s combat conditions. So, the HQ-12 joined the defences of Myanmar will bring a quality leap for the country’s air defense forces.

Could shoot down American aircraft

As a developing country, while the area of Myanmar wide but the location need not much defense. So, the HQ-12 if equipped for the military of Myanmar will mostly assume the ground mission.

If the Western powers to attack Myanmar, attacks can come from the East and the city of Yangon. Meanwhile, rocket HQ-12 deployed in any one location in the outskirts of downtown Yangon is able to cover the city’s airspace.

The current capital of Naypyidaw is Myanmar in Mandalay, are surrounded by forested mountains, the eastern front was the high mountain ranges, if missiles HQ-12 on the mountain in the East can also protect the city.

But the two fighters 4 generations of America’s F-16 and F/A-18 has advantages and strong operational capacity but can not afford basis.So, with the ability to search and jamming of missile and radar system HQ-12 can easily strike the American plane.

Rocket HQ-12 can also destroy the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, especially unmanned aircraft like the Global Hawk strategy.

Currently, unmanned aircraft in service with the US Army reconnaissance capability, however, is very strong and capable of certain attacks but most of them are incapable of stealth, meanwhile, slow speed and poor maneuverability made it very vulnerable to anti-aircraft missile as rockets the HQ-12 shot down.

For the reasons above, the China News concluded HQ-12 is a perfect system for Myanamar.

From where you got C-602 ? You are dreaming right ? There is no C-602 according to the 'Military Trade 2012-14' these ships are upgraded with Kh 35E which is poor (less range 130 km,less Speed no jamming capability) Moreover Russia is provide poor less power ASM to importers . Even I would choice C-705 not KH-35E for Naval Ships Frigates and destroyers . And Ak-630 is not proved CIWS though good as Naval guns . I got the Information from official source you mad half of my family member works for military of Bangladesh and this is why I do know the reality man unlike you morons posting their fake dreams . you know nothing Just like an ugly bugs LOL



Seems Its a cooler long fan of this APC ATGM looks different moreover Still I didn't find any source that is saying Burma has any of these mentioned ATGM then how ? :/




So why there is not any 'Export trade Source' that Burma has active MBT-2000 tanks ? and all of them are not tanks here we can see a ATV with a tank :/

MBT 2000 are already show off on Myanmar Government TV channel ! Myanmar buy weapons secretly, believe or not is ur business ! Explaining to you is like,Feeding parata to cow . (feeling annoy )

Export Trade Source? LOL.

Myanmar Army never declared their arms acquisition programs. No country know that Myanmar has Pechora 2M, PTL 02, SH 1 etc..., but Myanmar show off its hardware in a military parade in 2013 and surprised the other countries. SIPRI and other arms sales regimes stated that Myanmar has acquired twelve BTR 3U from Ukraine in 2001. Actually Myanmar has acquired 1000 BTR 3U which are to be assembled in Myanmar. More than 600 vehicles are in service now. No country including US aware that Myanmar has M 845P howitzers. But Myanmar acquired these howitzers secretly from Israel since 2001. Myanmar secretly acquired the state of the art ammunition factory which produces 155 mm NATO standard shells from the Daewoo of South Korea from 2004. Both the govt of South Korea and US discovered that program only after Myanmar has atarted producing NATO standard shells. Many Daewoo officials are sacked by that incident. These are the some examples of the nature of the arms acquisition programs of Myanmar.

Actually Myanmar is building its military behind the closed doors. Hundreds of Myanmar military officers attended various courses in Russia, China, Pakistan, Malaysia, India, Belarus, Serbia, Ukraine, Poland, South Korea, Israel and Bangladesh. Between 2000 and 2013 about 100 Myanmar officers attended courses in Bangladesh. So Myanmar Army has pretty good knowledge of Bangladesh military. So what do Bangladesh knows about Myanmar military? Nothing. They have to rely on outside sources such as internet and books. However these internet page and books are written with incomplete knowledge. Knowing the enemy means half of the battle is won already. Tsan Zu

1.Just because BD trained 100 Burmese officers does not mean Burma knows all about BD's military plans. These100 officers would have also decimated good info on Burmese armed forces.

2. Tatmadaw is plagued with desertion. Discipline is poor. No military in the world is as corrupt as the Burmese. The Burmese have experience of fighting insurgents but lack the organizational support and logistics to fight set-piece battles with modern weapons. Living off the ground and using locals as porters and servants have conditioned them to reject modern logistics. Tatmadaw still uses WW I fire trenches.Four cuts doctrine of Ne Win to fight insurgents is still the core doctrine of Tatmadaw.

3. BD just needs to unleash the Mujahids to wrap up Burmese occupation of Arakan.

From my point of view as a neutral observer (although it was a self proclaimed hehehe)

1. Indeed it is true if desertion and lack of discipline has been plagued Tatmadaw for so long, in the past they even rely on child soldiers, because it is much easier to instill discipline and army doctrine among the young recruits than adults. But, as long as i know, Myanmar armed forces right now is doing such reforms in their army and we must wait for a while to look at the results.

2. I don't like your terms of Mujahids here, invader must be more suit for your terms because Arakan is Burmese held territory for so long. And as has been mentioned before by Reashoot Xigwin here, Bangladesh lack of firepower and resources to do such a war against much better equipped armed forces like Myanmar.

Burmese invasion of Arakan and the rise of non Bengali settlements in Bangladesh | Danya Wadi

Arakan and other six states were always independent. The Burmans of the central region(seven civil divisions) invaded and occupied them whenever they were strong and the States were weak.
