Any signs of 135m frigate ?

Does Myanmar air force have reliable supply chain? I mean if during any conflict if parts are required or if any air craft gets destroyed, then can MAF's suppliers be reliable?

Except for Su 30, MAF can overhaul almost every aircraft in its inventory.

Even overhaul facilities for JF 17 and Yak 130 are being negotiaed.

MAF has overhaul facilities for MiG 29, F 7 and A 5 and K 8W are produced locally. It means that MAF is self sufficient for a certain period of time. Unless it it is a prolonged war, MAF can withstand the spare problems.

We also share a lot of commonality with Indian AF for example Su 30, MiG 29, Mi 24/35, Mi 17.

For this reason we are getting assistance from IAF from human resources training to aircraft repair and maintenance.

Another factor is that, apart from Russian, other suppliers such as Belarus, Ukarine, etc are also available.

Eventhough we acquired JF 17 from China, Pakistan is still willing to sell spare parts.

Anyway both Russian and China are most trusted defence partner for us. In case of war with BD or Thailand, we need not worry about getting spare parts.

Also...we got a new smg? U mean the Steyr tmp clone?

No I mean we need a new SMG. Because the Uzi is very outdated. Steyr tmp is too accurate.

 

[TheEunch]

This was floating around on the internet so that’s what I thought u meant. It’s externally looks like the steyr tmp but internally it is a micro uzi.

if we need a new smg then we should go for a caliber bigger than the 9mm as it fails to penetrate modern ballistic armor.

maybe something like the p90? It would be impossible to get a gun like that due to sanctions. Best hope is Russian vitayz sn or the conversion of the new MA mk2 carbine into a smaller caliber and smaller size.

Or worse case Chinese clones or QBZ which are trash

This my friends is a IMI Magal which is a Galil conversion to .30 caliber or 7.62x33mm which is a lot more powerful then the 9mm. If DI can get a conversion out for the MA series then we don’t even need to retool a lot to get a production line for a potentially good SMG

Myanmar back in the 18th and 19th century could defeat China and Thailand easily. Everyone used to live under the mercy of Myanmar. Myanmar also conquered North East India.

Now Myanmar is very poor and underdeveloped. It has been 70 years since independence still Burma has an "average" ranked army meanwhile its neighbouring countries like Thailand became much stronger.

It would be more useful for Police, Navy, and Special Force to have an SMG that is more modern and accurate. For ammunition .45 ACP is not bad. X95 would be a dream. Or as you have stated we could make a shorter MK2 with a different caliber. The problem with the Micro Uzi is that it seems uncontrollable because of the size.

 

[TheEunch]

Yeah .30 caliber is the same caliber used by the m1 carbine which the army used very early on from independence to the 70s.

there is already a precedence on Galil .30 caliber conversion so it would be good to take lessons from that and fix what went wrong and use what went right from that project

Fishery export surges by $100 million despite COVID-19

Fishery exports from Myanmar have increased by $100 million as of June 5 since October 1, the beginning of the 2019-2020 fiscal year, compared to the same period last fiscal year, according to data from the Ministry of Commerce.

In this fiscal year, the country has earned $670.13 million this fiscal-year contrast to $569.418 million in the last fiscal year.

However, during the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, fishery export to China almost stopped causing concerns that Myanmar’s fishery sector was at the brink of collapse. Fortunately, the stakeholders later managed to resume fishery exports to China and increase exports through sea routes as well.

Myanmar’s fishery export heavily relies on China, which accounts for 60 percent of the country’s total fishery exports, and the remaining 40 percent to the EU and other countries.

According to Fishery Statistics 2018 by the Department of Fisheries, which is the most recent official data, Myanmar produces 5.87 million metric tons of fishery products that year, of which 46 percent is freshwater fish, and 54 percent is marine fish.

Not bad

Without US approval both Japan and ROK won't sell anything to Myanmar Armed Forces.
So getting fighter aircraft from those countries are highly unlikely.

Myanmar does not need new fighter jets. Just produce JF-17 in bulk and arm them with CM-400AKG and see the magic.
