Why don't Myanmar buy T-90 tanks. How long will the Tatmadaw use backdated Chinese tanks. Even T-72 is becoming old.

I'm just wondering. We have ATMGs on our BTR-3 so do we have ATMGs for the infantry.

Why don't Myanmar buy T-90 tanks. How long will the Tatmadaw use backdated Chinese tanks. Even T-72 is becoming old.

I personally don't care for tanks since our country is surrounded by mountains. And we only need 2-3 hundred tanks for the central flat lands. Beside we have hundreds of tank destroyers and there is the tracked tank destroyer under development.

BLOCK 3 WOULD BE NICE WITH IT HAVING BETTER ELECTRIC EQUIPMENTS.

Third batch of JF 17 are going to be Block 3.

Debatable chance but can this raise our hope of laying hand on western technology since they are planning for export.

Both Isreal and Singapore played their role to certain extend in supplying the necessary parts to laid foundation of our defence industry.

Myanmar needs to replace old third generation planes like Q5, J-6 and J-7 with newer jets. Only 6 SU-30 and 18 JF-17 and 30 Mig-29 is not enough to defend the territory.

@Aung Zaya @tarpitz @MINN @Tagaung

It is more than enough if we can maintain high active planes ratio.

Quantity matters too.

We don't need to replace A 5 and F 7 on one to one basic.

A squadron of JF 17 blk 2 is enough to replace 4 squadrons of F 7.

Furthermore in case of war against our neighbours, once we manage to achieve local air superiority over a designated area, for example, along the Nef River, A 5 and F 7 can still be utilized in ground attack/ anti heliborne operations over that area.

Lastly, aging MiG 29 will be gradually replaced.

MAF and Air Defence units are always given priority in our modernization programme.
