    Russian Arms Exports to Myanmar Empty Russian Arms Exports to Myanmar

    After large MIG-29M deal ... large Mi-24 deal. Looks like to me Burma could become major Russian weapons buyer.



    The Burmese Air Force is reported to have bought 62 new helicopters from Russia.

    An airforce source told The Irrawaddy website 50 of the craft are Mi-24 attack helicopters and their main use will be for counter-insurgency.

    The aircraft, also known as the Hind, is armoured and is equipped with cannons, rockets and anti-tank missiles.

    It can also carry up to seven soldiers and their weapons.

    The other 12 helicopters are Mi-2 armoured transports.

    The source says the helicopters are now being assembled in Flying Training Base in Meikthila.

    They will be sent to four squadrons at Magwe Air Base and Ela Air Base.

    Mi-2?

    Very unusual if they are Mi-2s unless they are second hand from Russian Army aviation stocks. The Mi-2 was a Soviet (Mil)design, but was made in a former warsaw pact country so unless this is a bit of the Russian Army getting rid of some old airframes or the companies that maintain the Russian Army helos making a few extra (I remember a few years back they were offering upgraded Mi-2s a cheaper prices than the proposed replacement helos costs) or it might just be an error and they are actually buying real transports like the Mi-17.

    Sounds like old Russian Army stocks as being the source.

    Makes sense as it would make them cheaper and would be a good way to deal with excess stock for the Russian Army.

    For Myanmar it will be a step up in performance for them without a huge cost outlay of proven tested designs that will improve relations and in the future could lead to further purchases and upgrades.

    Armoured Mi-2's???? i didnt think Mi-2's came with armour, or maybe it was suppose to be armed Mi-2's? i have heard of armed versions just not armoured.

    I agree with what people have said, good way to get rid of old equipment and for Burma to re-arm itself cheaply. It about time Russia started to clear out some of its older equipment. I wonder with the increase in boko harem etc activity in Africa if this would be a good time for Russia to try and sell African nations some of its older equipment to help it tackle the terrorists.

    The contract for the Yak-130 for Myanmar

    It is possible that the delivery of the first aircraft under the contract will start in 2016. As a corporation for the current year is a contract with the 420 military representation for quality control and acceptance of products under contract. In addition, before the end of 2017 on the territory of Myanmar must be deployed specialized simulator combat use of the Yak-130.

    Russia and Myanmar sign agreement on military cooperation

    The document envisages cooperation in the navy sphere, military education and other promising spheres

    MOSCOW, June 16. /TASS/. The defense ministries of Russia and Myanmar have signed an agreement on military cooperation, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said on Thursday.

    "A very serious step has been made toward the development of bilateral military cooperation. We are establishing a predictable legal basis for promising long-term cooperation between our countries. Over the last several years, a lot has been done in developing military and military-technical cooperation. I think that our document will serve as an additional impetus to developing multifaceted cooperation," Antonov said.

    According to the deputy defense minister, the agreement outlines cooperation in the navy sphere, hydrography, topography, military medicine, military education and other promising spheres of military cooperation. He noted that now the two countries "will have enough instruments to do everything possible to strengthen combat readiness of the Armed Forces of Myanmar and Russia."

    Myanmar’s Defense Minister Myint New in turn noted that the two countries are bound by long-term friendly relations. "We want to strengthen and develop these relations in the future. At the current stage, we approached the issue of signing an agreement with full readiness, it was coordinated at all levels, including in the parliament," he said. The defense minister stressed that Myanmar sees great prospects in the sphere of navy cooperation with Russia.

    The Russian Defense Ministry said that the agreement also envisages exchanging information on international security issues, including fight against terrorism, cooperation in the sphere of culture and vacation of servicemen and their families, along with exchanging experience in peacekeeping activities.

    It is good that Myanmar is getting all this military equipment because Myanmar is on the the list of the Anglo Zionist Jews.

    http://tass.com/defense/987050

    US Department of State spokeswoman Heather Nauert told TASS Russia should display solidarity with other countries and provide humanitarian assistance to Myanmar, while weapons supplies to that country might potentially aggravate the situation there.

    It is this sort of hypocritical BS that really shits me to death... The US sells weapons to Saudi Arabia that slaughter people in Yemen, or sell weapons to the repressive Neo-Nazi Ukropi regime, or supply weaponry through proxies to arm Wahhabbi terrorists rampaging thru the ME, yet they have the unmitigated fucking gall to complain when Russia sells a small number of warplanes to Myanmar?????

    Russian air defense missile systems "Pantsir-S" will go to Myanmar

    Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and cannon complexes will go to Myanmar. The corresponding agreement was signed by the military departments of the two countries.

    Moscow and Naypyidaw signed an agreement on the supply of Russian military equipment to the armed forces of Myanmar. The document was signed during the official visit of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to the country.

    According to the signed agreement, Russia will supply Mienme with Pantsir-S1 air defense missile systems, Orlan-10E reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles and radar stations. There is no information about the amount of equipment supplied. In addition, Russia and Myanmar signed an agreement on the safety of aircraft flights.

    As previously reported in the Ministry of Defense, Shoigu will discuss with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Myanmar Senior General Min Aung Hline issues of military-technical cooperation between the countries.

    These are just those small battlefield drones. But still. Its a good sale. China clearly doesn't have the whole drone market locked up. China and Myanmar have military ties but they still bought some Russian drones.

    Russia on Track to Deliver Fighter Jets to Myanmar – Reports
    Russia is going ahead with plans to deliver Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets to Myanmar's increasingly isolated military regime, a top defense cooperation official was quoted as saying Friday.

    Moscow has continued to support Myanmar with arms deals and military delegation visits following the ouster of civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint this year.


    NEWS
    Rights Advocates Slam Russia Over Myanmar Junta Chief’s Moscow Visit
    READ MORE
    According to Deutsche Welle, Dmitry Shugayev, the chief of Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, said Russia “continues to implement plans” toward delivering Su-30 jets and Yak-130 training aircraft to Myanmar.

    Russia had agreed to sell six Su-30 aircraft to Myanmar in 2018, when the army was in the middle of a military offensive against Rohingya militants that the United Nations called ethnic cleansing.

    Shugayev added that Myanmar’s air force currently operates Russian-made Yak-130 and MiG-29 fighter jets.

    After the military coup in February, Russian customs data showed the Myanmar junta importing $14.7 million in radar equipment that month. That followed the delivery of $96 million worth of classified defense-related goods in December.

    International watchdogs say Myanmar has spent $807 million on Russian arms imports over the past decade, making Russia the country’s No. 2 military exporter after China.

    During his visit to Naypyitaw in January, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu agreed to supply Myanmar with Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile systems, Orlan-10E surveillance drones and radar equipment.

    The United States has suspended a trade deal with Myanmar until democratic leadership is restored and several Singaporean companies, including a firm that sold anti-drone products to Myanmar’s police, have canceled their deals.

    The European Union has accused Russia of blocking a coordinated international response to the Feb. 1 coup in Myanmar and the turmoil it has faced since. Rights groups meanwhile accuse Moscow of “legitimizing” the country’s “brutal and unlawful attempted coup.”

    Saudi Arabia has never had a democratic leadership and is responsible for many war crimes and war violations, yet the US sells them billions in military hardware and protects them from accusations like the brutal murder of Kashogii a short while back in the Saudi embassy in Turkey...
