Jon Grevatt - Jane's Defence Weekly
29 November 2017
The China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) and the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF) have pledged to expand collaboration with a view to expanding defence trade and related technologies.

NORINCO announced the expanding partnership in a press release on 28 November, although the agreement was secured a few days earlier, said the corporation, in meetings between NORINCO president Wen Gang and Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, commander in chief of the MAF.

In the press release, NORINCO said that it had a “long history of co-operation” with Myanmar and that it was looking to continue to provide the MAF with defence products and services as well as to “expand and enhance areas of co-operation”.

new OPV UMS Inlay (54)
armament, type 66 twin 57mm Chinese-made,

probably recovered from the submarine chaser Type 037

here you can see two systems in the military storage of Myanmar's navy during the inspection

they probably no longer have 76/62 in stock or are reserved for future front-line units, and therefore, to arm this OPV, they chose the old system, however much more powerful than 37 mm of Soviet / Chinese origin and 40 mm Bofors
