I'll drop a message here. Although I just need to get the appropriate photos to show off the articles.

Although I do seem to notice that later mods on the Mark 2s appear to have a skeleton-type stock. Do they still have space for putting a cleaning kit there?

I'll make a note that some Mark 2 mods offer a cheek rest. Looks like green or black polymers are used.

I surely will ask someone to give my drafts a read though. Any volunteers?

i think i'm not good enough to do it.
all i can provide is just supporting with some photos i have.

That's fine. Photo evidence can sometimes help.

I'm just compiling them for the article prior to being released.

Anyone familiar with the bayonet used in the MA-1 Mk. I/IIs? Chinese sources indicate that they cloned the Type 81 bayonet.

UPDATE: Finally finished the drafts. Who can give it a read? I'll hand it to anyone who has time to do so.

yeah. it's ok. bro
but now we're replacing with updated version of MA series and we dont have technical data of newer version.@tarpitz.

Thanks for that. Although I just want to chime in that someone in 2012 posted photos of the MA-1 Mk. IIIs online from the Defence Services Museum. The person who took the shots didn't get the stats included (or took notes), but I can see the designated names though.

i think it has already been posted in here. just find in at the start of this thread. but it should be noted only the data getting from the photos which are taken in Museum are credible as u may see many data of fun boys which are just putting random numbers with a photo of gun above in the green frame.

are u sure ? or just ur guess ?
but u know Su-25SM3 are likely being got. I just saw the page who posted about Su-30 with Myanmar flag before any official news was appeared made a cover of Su-25 with Myanmar flag about an hour ago(pic shown above).and Our C in C has already shown interest in Su-25SM3 and Su-39. He even made an official statement to send trainee to that school i think.

Can't wait to hear more good news. I think they should consider ATGMs as well. Air superiority is a good thing, but ground blockade with effective firepower against enemy armored vehicles is also what we need to consider.
By judging from some middle eastern conflicts videos, effective use of ATGMs can be a serious threat.
Even in COIN ops, we can utilize them to neutralize enemy bunkers from safe distance.

Good news. My article on the STK 50 MG is going to go live in a few days.

Although it looks like TFB has info on the MA-1 Mk I/IIs being able to use rifle grenades. Good thing I held it back in case there's new material. I remember seeing a photo of a Tatmadaw soldier with the BA203 and rifle grenade attached. Man, I didn't notice it.

Share us when it goes live. Lets appreciate it together.

agreed. although we have enough air-launched AGTM and have already tested it , we will need thousands of them in case of war. and we can use another cheaper but effective way. that's carl gustaf. thanks to our geography, our country is surrounded by range of mountains. not suitable for heavy tanks instead more chances of light tanks and IFV to be used. in this case, carl govstaf is more than enough for their tanks and IFV and it's cheaper than any type of AGTM. requirements are also not much. just need to upgrade our production plant. so we can get as many as we need. i think it would be bigger threat for our potential enemy than limited amount of AGTM.

No problem. I included a blurb about the Tatmadaw adopting it to replace the M2s. I also mentioned that photos of it surfaced in 2014.

I got a photo from FB somewhere on a Myanmar airborne commando with the MA-3 Mk. III.

Of course if I'm wrong, feel free to let me know.

ture.!! the gun is Ma-3 mk3. u can also see them in post #1878.

 

[Ominae]

Thanks.

You know the formal name of the airborne regiment in the Tatmadaw?

Also, is it Special Operation Task Force or Special Operations Task Force? I don't know which one is correct, but I see the first one being used in English-language materials.
