This happen when you buy secondhand things.
Everything faces technical difficulties, whether it's new or secondhand. The aircraft still managed to land with 50% power that's what matter. Doesn't change the fact that C-130J is still a good reliable aircraft which can operate longer than it's original service life unlike your new transport aircraft.
In dealing with the opponent with no decent air force, Myanmar Navy doesn't need any SAM.
Bangladesh doesn't have decent air force so your navy doesn't need SAM?! What?! Seriously?! I am extremely shocked seeing your level of stupidity and cockiness. Are you trying to ignore the fact that your ships doesn't have any proper AD against anti-ship missile with your bold-dumb statement?
You do know that you will face all three military wings i a full scale war right? And the most weakest military wing of Burmese military is your navy right? Just like the BAF. And BAF still has minimum ability to intercept your aircraft.
In the past twenty years, BN has managed to acquire only 4 new ships and the rest of the acquisitions are secondhand junks from all over the world.
Not all over the world. Only from China, UK and US. Doesn't change the fact that BN is still better than MN and only gonna get better unless you induct something good enough like Kilo or the LPD.
And 21 new ships actually in past 20 years including four LPCs and four corvettes. 20 of them were procured in 10 years. Five more in construction and 8 more in pipeline.
No new frigates were inducted in the past two decades.
Twenty years ago, BNS Bangabanghu was the only ship that has the sonar and ASW weapons.
You corrected your own mistake. BNS BB was commissioned in 2001. Do you know how many years in two decades?
Even the new C13B corvettes acquired from china are heavily downgraded and cheap version of Type 056 with no ASW suite.
Heavily downgraded??!! Just because it doesn't have sonar and torpedoes?! That makes a ship "heavily downgraded"??!! The Type 56 corvette we bought from China is not a downgraded version. It's the anti-surface warfare variant PLAN uses in it's fleet.
And our Type 56s are actually bit upgraded with a V-shaped hull to sustain heavy sea states/rough sea and two new corvettes have new 3D phased array radar which PLAN Type-56 still doesn't have yet. It can be fitted with sonar later if BN wants. These corvettes will be complemented by ASW variant of Durjoy class LPCs. The ASW version you are talking about is actually called Type 56A.
While Nigeria paid 42 mn$ for P18N, larger version of Type 056, BN spent hundred of millions of dollars for the smaller and downgraded ship.
Total $48.5 million actually. OPV doesn't cost that much compared to corvette. Your accusation is quiet baseless, ridiculous and dumb!! Try to use your brain sometimes.
Your frigates are not to defend the BD waters, just to fill the pockets of your topbrass through irregular deals.
Quite rich coming from a guy whose country is run by military junta which is responsible for oppressing it's minorities and involved in illegal drug business as part of Golden Triangle and controversial jade trade don't you think? Suu Kyi may have won the election but Burmese military still has huge influence in country. Suu Kyi is puppet controlled by your military.
BTW, your mighty junk navy are using the MANPADS.
So? That's from the Durjoy class LPC. Ship such as OPV, patrol craft, LHD/LPD, mine hunter which doesn't have proper air defense carries MANPADS. Your suppa mighty sea state 4 shallow hull 3000 tons Kyan Sittha might be the only exception which has pedestal mounted MANPAD. Why did your navy edit the SAM firing clip from Kyan Sittha in promotional video? Doesn't your MANPAD work? Cause i don't see any electro-optic sensor.
Turkish Navy.
German Navy.
Aussie Navy
Oh my!! What is this!! Suppa Mighty Burmese Navy feeling shy to fire even a single Igla MANPAD from it's suppa pawa corvette Kyan Sittha!!

Wrong. Two Type 41 Leopard class, Salisbury class and BNS Osman (Ex Type 53) had ASW capability. We had two Type 037 submarine chasers, one currently operational BNS Nirbhoy. We also had some torpedo boats.
After twenty years of modernization, BNS Bangabanghu is still the only ship that has the full ASW capability.
Two new Durgom class ASW LPCs are already in service.
Now and then.
Good painting job.
That's how ship's hull will look without paint during maintenance/overhaul.
Yeah 20 yaers old 2nd hand frigates with HHQ7 sam which can't fire targets under 30m altitude and max range about 15km is somewhat better than manpads
What are you trying to say? Are you saying that it's NOT better than your MANPADS? Even HISAR-A has the same minimum flight altitude. At least three of our frigates have better SAM system than yours with better chance to stop anti-ship missile. And these SAMs are integrated with radar and complemented by 37mm Type 76A and 40mm DARDO CIWS.
