No. I don't use Wikipedia for defense research. Myanmar buying SY400 was mentioned in many articles and journals. Not just one article.

Sorry, I meant the part you said it was not in the current inventory and I was saying the inventory is not accurate. So it might be or might not be already bought.

Myanmar also bought some JF 17 B twin seater. Neither GFP nor wiki updated this info

Have you guys heard anything about the second in commend going to Serbia

Saw this a few days back.

look like we got something from serbia.

They seems to be visiting small arms factory.
Finally some slight hope for army after all the hypes regarding navy and airforce.

The facebook mentions the factories they visited

Only ±24 will be upgraded. The rest are not upgradable I heard. Just like BD's MiGs.

First batch of 10 aircrafts are being upgraded. I don't know about 2nd and 3rd batch. May be 8 and 6.

After completion, MiG 29 will be able to use most of the weapons of JF 17.

But not sure about C 802AKG.

Myanmar also signed to buy some Lasta 95 basic trainer from Serbia to replace aging PT 6.

Myth of Lasta 95 comes true.

Hi bro! Any news from Myanmar about these repeated rocket stage fallouts?

Thanks for sharing.


China launches new remote-sensing satellites

September 20, 2019

JIUQUAN, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Five new remote-sensing satellites were sent into planned orbit from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China's Gobi Desert Thursday.

The five satellites were launched by a Long March-11 carrier rocket at 2:42 p.m. (Beijing Time).

The satellites belong to a commercial remote-sensing satellite constellation project "Zhuhai-1," which will comprise 34 micro-nano satellites, including video, hyperspectral, and high-resolution optical satellites, as well as radar and infrared satellites.

The carrier rocket was developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, and the satellites were produced by the Harbin Institute of Technology and operated by the Zhuhai Orbita Aerospace Science and Technology Co. Ltd.

Thursday's launch was the 311th mission for the Long March series carrier rockets.

The newly launched satellites comprise four hyperspectral satellites with 256 wave-bands and a coverage width of 150 km, and a video satellite with a resolution of 90 centimeters.

The Zhuhai-1 hyperspectral satellites have the highest spatial resolution and the largest coverage width of their type in China.

The data will be used for precise quantitative analysis of vegetation, water and crops, and will provide services for building smart cities, said Orbita, the largest private operator of hyperspectral satellites in orbit.

The company aims to cooperate with government organizations and enterprises to expand the big data satellite services.

As was expected, the spent stage from yesterday's Long March 11 did once again crashed into Myanmar. Into a small stream/ditch.

By the way, this CZ-11 solid fuel rocket is based on the DF-41 ICBM, nice if Myanmar could reverse engineer it from the debris, like Iran does with U.S. and Soviet junks (Safir-3 ICBM engine/RD-250)!

It wasn't a clean fall into a creek after all. It first landed on a shed roof, after which it rolled into the creek.

Entering the Elite Club of ICBM capable and space superpowers

Another launch expected for 25th September 2019, at ~00:55 UTC. Also on a Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO), thus overflying Myanmar.

This time, the CZ-2D launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center will carry the Yunhai-1-02 satellite.

Interesting is that the CZ-2D is based on the DF-5 liquid propellant ICBM. The second stage's YF-24B engine made of one YF-22B main engine and four YF-23B verniers develops a total of 74.2 ton-force, burning N2O4/UDMH.

If Myanmar could reverse engineer it, it would enter the most elite club of ICBM capable and space superpowers!

Meanwhile even Europe that counts most of the richest and technologically advanced G-7 powers, has to team 22 nations in the European Space Agency to develop its space program.

Would it not be better if Myanmar could pursue its space research inside a regional South East Asian space organization created with Thailand, Cambodia and Laos ? That would save decades of development time, knowing that it took 20 years for North Korea and Iran to reverse engineer the 80 ton-force rocket engine from salvaged wreckage.

Myanmar needs nuclear weapons not satellite. Just 7 years before an officer in exile of the tatmadaw revealed a secret nuclear program of Myanmar.

If Myanmar becomes a nuclear power, then it will be the first Buddhist country with nuclear weapons. Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish majority country has nuclear bombs. There are more than 6 Buddhist majority countries, one should have nuclear weapons. It will bring huge benefit and respect to the Buddhist world and

Lol okay

 

[rapster88]

Not sure how much we can reverse engineer out of a scrap but falling into our land shouldn’t have happened in the first place. I hope there will be some communication over diplomatic channel.
