    Iranian missile boat. 18m long for 14 tons.

    Again just shut up when you have no clue what you are talking about. And why do you bring serbia in this discussion ?

    You could have made a little more google research before talking bullshit. It's using two missiles launchers and it can be either kowsar or Nasr-1 which is a 350kg missile in the class of kh-35.

    People... enough of the personal insults please...

    Sure, I know that Serbia is not a naval superpower, still, you should have some common sense.

    Lsos is not Serbian... he is French.

    Honestly I would think instead of anti ship missiles with secondary land attack capacity that a nice drone and an automatic mortar would be useful... on a river boat, but then expanding it to operating further out to sea could be an option too.

    If that won't give you a hint, then the further discussion is pointless.

    Seriously how many time do I need to repeat ? I said create a variant not change all of the class. They can keep their patrol version for their inland waters...but they can also build a version with missiles for the coastal sea area...

    Is it clear now ?

    Personal insults are uncalled for.
    Here is the thing....how is Myanmar going to pay for any of these items? They are buying military hardware provided the country exporting it has already extended a line of credit, think China, India.
    More importantly, the military junta that runs that country has lost control of almost half the country to rebels backed by China and Thailand.

    Well I agree that's a good argument. I was mostly talking from an "engineering" point of view considering the countries technological situation. They aren't producing anything advanced so if they can produce such boat they can test different version to gain experience.

    Viet nam isn't any better yet they now produce their own kh-35 and ships with the help of Russia.

    One way to get a better bang for your buck on a tight budget is to utilise existing platforms and make they multi-purpose so you save in support costs and training.

    Obviously they have river boats, but they also have a sea going navy too and one of these river boats might make a nice light patrol boat.

    Speculating on potential armament options should not become grounds for execution or even just ridicule...

    Just looking at the first page of this thread shows they have a range of much larger ships so having a small ship with anti ship missiles could be a cheap way of improving local fire power quickly and easily and cheaply.

    The first two Su-30SME fighters were officially introduced into the Myanmar Air Force

    On December 15, 2022, at the already traditional annual ceremony , this year dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Myanmar (Burmese) aviation, at the airfield of the Myanmar Air Force Flight School Meythila (near Mandalay), 15 different aircraft and helicopters were officially introduced into the Myanmar Air Force , including the first two Su-30SME multifunctional fighters received from Russia. The ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the State Administrative Council of Myanmar and the Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Armed Forces, Senior General Min Aung Hlein.

    Recall that the contract for the supply of six Su-30SME fighters to Myanmar manufactured by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant PJSC United Aircraft Corporation (PJSC UAC, part of the Rostec State Corporation) was signed by JSC Rosoboronexport during a visit to Myanmar by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu January 21-22, 2018. The cost of the contract in Russian unofficial sources was indicated at $400 million - possibly without the cost of aviation weapons. The contract was financed by a Russian loan, and apparently, the agreement on its terms led to a delay in implementation.

    The first Su-30SME fighter aircraft manufactured for Myanmar was demonstratedSenior General Min Aung Khlein during his visit to the Irkutsk Aviation Plant back in April 2019. At the same time, apparently, the second plane was already ready. However, in the end, the first two Su-30SME fighters built under this contract were transferred to the Myanmar side only in March 2022 and began to fly from the airfields of Naypyidaw and Meythila from the beginning of July 2022. According to some reports, the planes have already managed to take part in hostilities against the armed opposition, but were officially commissioned by the Myanmar Air Force only at a ceremony on December 15th. The first Su-30SMEs received by Myanmar have Myanmar tail numbers "1904" and "1905". Both of them made a demonstration flight at the December 15 ceremony.

    Myanmar thus became the first customer and recipient of the Su-30SME aircraft, the export version of the Su-30SM fighter. In early September 2022, Senior General Min Aung Khlein again visited the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, where he got acquainted with the manufacture of Su-30SME aircraft for Myanmar.

    In addition, at a ceremony on December 15, five Chinese export FTC-2000G light fighters (tail numbers "1401", "1403", "1404", "1405" and "1406"), one Chinese combat training FT-7M fighter (tail number "1665", apparently supplied from stock), four Chinese K-8W combat training aircraft (known tail numbers "3937" and "3938"), one Chinese military transport aircraft Y-8F- 200 (tail number "5821"), and, unexpectedly, two Soviet/Russian-made Ka-28 anti-submarine helicopters (tail numbers "6351" and "6352").
