La Russie livrera à la Birmanie un lot supplémentaire d’avions Yak-130


Défense
11:11 21.03.2017(mis à jour 11:13 21.03.2017)


La Birmanie acquiert un lot supplémentaire d’avions d’entraînement avancé Yak-130 dans le cadre d’un contrat passé avec la Russie, une percée sur le marché de l’armement dans cette région, selon Moscou.


La Russie envisage de livrer à la Birmanie un lot supplémentaire d'avions d'entraînement avancé Yak-130 en 2018, a déclaré aux journalistes mardi Mikhaïl Petoukhov, le chef de la délégation russe à l'exposition LIMA-2017.

L'exposition internationale d'équipement de défense navale et d'aéronautique LIMA-2017 se déroule en Malaisie, dans l'île de Langkawi, du 21 au 25 mars.

Le premier lot de trois avions d'entraînement avancé Yak-130 a été livré à la République de l'Union du Myanmar (Birmanie) en 2016. Le contrat, conclu en 2015, doit être clos en 2017, selon M. Petoukhov.

« En outre, il est prévu de livrer à ce pays un lot supplémentaire de Yak-130 en 2018 », a-t-il ajouté.

L'avion Yak-130 est un avion biréacteur à ailes médianes en flèche. L'appareil biplace en tandem est doté d'un train d'atterrissage tricycle. Il est équipé de trois points d'emport externes sous chaque aile. Son système permet de simuler toutes les armes en service en Russie. Il est capable de simuler les caractéristiques de chasseurs modernes, y compris de 5e génération.

Le contrat avec la Birmanie constitue une percée sur le marché de ce pays asiatique, selon le Centre russe d'analyse du commerce mondial des armes.

Cet avion d'entraînement avancé a déjà été acheté par l'Algérie, le Bangladesh et la Biélorussie.

Myanmar looks to buy Chinese SY-400 ballistic missile systems

SY-400 ballistic missile system


The Myanmar Army is to acquire China-made SY-400 short-range precision-attack ballistic missile systems.

China official calling SY-400 missile system as a guided artillery rocket system, hence it is not limited by 300 km range export restrictions.

The SY-400 system in standard configuration has eight containers with solid fuel missiles. Missiles are factory-fitted into these containers and can be stored for years and do not require additional maintenance. Missiles are launched vertically and have a range of about 400 km. The SY-400 can use different types of warheads.

The surface-to-surface missile system, equipped with BP-12A surface-to-surface missile and SY-400 rocket projectile, can pierce through eight targets at the same time, which is much more preciser and powerful than normal artillery. It’s firing range is almost a dozen longer than that of the artillery.

“The rocket projectile is capable of conducting intensive firing in a relatively large area, but the surface-to-surface missile can hit precisely the targets with high value. A dual shooting, which combines the advantages of the two weapons, will improve the efficiency of the new missile system,” said Tang Kehui, missile expert, the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation.

In addition to its powerful firing, the new missile system also has another feature: flexibility. Each missile vehicle can both shoot and retreat in a short time.

Missiles are fitted with GPS/INS guidance system. They are steered to the intended target in the initial flight phase by four control surfaces and stabilizing fins. Missile uses low lowering rate to extend the range. Multiple missiles can be aimed at different targets.

Myanmar : ses dirigeants s’approvisionnent en Allemagne


Publié le 11 mai 2017/Actualité Stratégie et politique



L’Allemagne et secondairement l’Autriche sont en porte-à-faux vis-à-vis de la politique européenne critiquant le Myanmar à cause de sa négation des droits de l’homme. En effet, au moment où la répression de la minorité musulmane Rohingya (à l’ouest du pays) constitue une forme de nettoyage ethnique, le commandant en chef de l’armée birmane, le général Min Aung Hlaing, venait faire des emplettes dans ces deux pays de l’Union européenne.

Au cours de sa tournée des entreprises industrielles de défense, en Autriche, il a exprimé son intérêt pour l’avion léger DA-62, et, en visitant une usine de la firme aéronautique GROB, il a cherché à acheter un avion léger de reconnaissance et à obtenir l’entraînement de ses pilotes.

L’Allemagne fournit depuis longtemps des armes légères au Myanmar, et l’Union européenne a levé les sanctions concernant ce pays au début de la démocratisation. Cependant, l’Onu et l’UE diligentent des enquêtes sur les actions de l’armée birmane, qui a causé la fuite de 100 000 réfugiés.

Tandis que le chef de l’armée birmane envisageait d’accroître ses potentiels contre-insurrectionnels, sa rivale politique, Aung San Suu Kyi, effectuait une tournée en Grande-Bretagne, en Italie et à Bruxelles. Alors qu’on lui reproche de ne pas élever la voix pour les Rohingya et/ou se prononcer pour une paix négociée avec les minorités Kachin, Karen et autres, toujours en rébellion contre le pouvoir central.

As previously reported by bmpd colleague on November 1, 2016 the journalists of the Chinese resource Sina.com met with officers of the Myanmar Air Force, and those "confident" confirmed the purchase of Sino-Pakistani fighter FC-1 (JF-17).



To date, Myanmar Air Force have 50 obsolete Chinese fighters J-7M and 30 MiG-29 and 20 Q-5 attack aircraft. Training of pilots for these aircraft carried out on Chinese jet training aircraft Nangchang K-8.



The appearance in the Air Force fighter FC-1 Chinese development will facilitate its development, who have experience of piloting Chinese aircraft. Myanmar repeatedly called as a first zakazachika fighter FC-1 (JF-17). In the spring of 2015, Pakistani media reported on the conclusion of a contract for the supply of aircraft to Myanmar.



According to the source of our blog, Myanmar has purchased of six fighter FC-1 value of 129 million euros (that looks the most reliable figures).

Le Myanmar opte pour le Sukhoi Su-30 !



La Russie va vendre six avions de combat SU-30 « Flanker » au Myanmar, (ex-Birmanie) a rapporté lundi l'agence de presse RIA, citant le ministère russe de la Défense. Le Myanmar est également intéressé par l'achat d'autres matériels militaires russes pour ses forces terrestres et navales, a rapporté RIA.

Avec cette nouvelle acquisition bien que limitée pour l’instant et l’arrivée des premiers JF-17 « Thunder », la Force aérienne du Myanmar a débuter sa mutation.

Des Sukhoi Su-30Mk ?

On sait pas pour l’instant quelle version est vendue au Myanmar. On peut cependant penser que la version export de base, soit le Sukhoi SU-30MK est concernée. Cette version bénéficie des capacités similaires à celle des avions de combat de cinquième génération. L’appareil est doté d’une avionique améliorée, d’un radar AESA de type Phazotron Zhuk-MA plus puissant, capable d’engager plus de quatre cibles simultanément et ceci également vers l’arrière. L’avion dispose une certaine capacité en matière de furtivité et ceci grâce à une diminution de la signature radar. L’autre nouveauté concerne l’adaptation des missiles indien BrahMos et KH-59M Ovod-M. L’avionique dispose d’un mode carte numérique avec une capacité de guidage longue portée TV.

L’appareil est doté de la version des moteurs AL-31FP de Saturn corporation, dont la durée d’entretien est montée à 2000 heures en lieu et place des 1000 sur les versions plus anciennes. Un nouveau logiciel de contrôle de la poussée vectorielle (TVC) permet une meilleure sécurisation en cas de manœuvre extrême.

According to the web source sdelanounas.ru, on New Year's Day, the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, which is part of PJSC" Irkut Corporation, delivered six Yak-130 combat-training aircraft for the Myanmar Air Force.

Contract for the supply of an unnamed number of Yak-130 planes to Myanmar (supposedly 16) was signed by Rosoboronexport on June 22, 2015. The first three Yak-130 aircraft built by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant of PJSC Irkut Corporation under this contract were delivered to Myanmar at the end of 2016 and transferred to Myanmar Air Force in February 2017, receiving Myanmar airborne numbers "1801", "1802" and "1803 "(serial numbers from 130.12.03-0101 to 130.12.03-0103).


Yak-130 of the Myanmar Air Force (photo : Aldin B)

In the fall of 2017, the Myanmar Air Force received the next batch of three Yak-130 aircraft with tail numbers "1804", "1805" and "1806" (estimated serial numbers from 130.12.03-0104 to 130.12.03-0106). The official ceremony of entering the first six received Yak-130s into the Myanmar Air Force took place on December 15, 2017 at the airfield of the Myanmar Air Force Flight School in Meythil (near Mandalay).

Now Myanmar has received six more Yak-130 aircraft under this contract. Judging from the published photograph of the transportation of one of the aircraft of this party, this aircraft has a Myanmar airborne number "1808"

Thus, in 2018, ten Yak-130 combat training aircraft were delivered for export from Russia - six to Myanmar and four to Laos.

Double-Seat Fighter JF-17B for Myanmar

26 Maret 2019



The first built for the Myanmar Air Force at the enterprise of the Chinese aircraft manufacturer Chengdu Aircraft Industries Company (Group) (CAC) is a double-seat fighter JF-17B (tail number "1707"). Chengdu, March 2019 (photo : dafengcao)

On Chinese web resources, a snapshot of the first JF-17B two-seat fighter built for the Myanmar Air Force, passing, as you can see, flight tests at the enterprise of the Chinese aircraft manufacturer Chengdu Aircraft Industries Company (Group) (CAC, part of the Chinese state corporation AVIC) in Chengdu, Apparently, this aircraft with the Myanmar's tail number "1707", is the first serial two-seater JF-17B in general, and Myanmar will become the first recipient of the "Sparky" based on the JF-17 (in Pakistan, the prototype of the "Sparky" JF-17B, which made the first flight to End in April 2017, it is still in the testing phase).

Recall that earlier in the fall of 2018, Myanmar received six single-seat JF-17M modification fighters (export version of the JF-17 Block 2 aircraft) under the first contract concluded by Myanmar with Pakistan in March 2015, the cost of the contract was, as it was stated, 129 million euros . Single JF-17M have Myanmar airborne numbers from "1701" to "1706", the ceremony of entering the first four of them into the Air Force of Myanmar took place in Maithila (near Mandalay) on December 15, 2018. Myanmar thus became the first foreign download and the recipient of the JF-17 light fighter (FC-1) Thunder of a joint Chinese-Pakistani production.

The total number of Myanmar-ordered JF-17 planes in single and double seaters is unknown, but, according to several reports, is 16 units. It was also reported that the Myanmar side was conducting preliminary negotiations on the partial localization of the assembly of these aircraft in Myanmar.

By initial agreement, JF-17 aircraft for Myanmar were to be assembled in Pakistan at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) aircraft company in Kamra. However, the implementation of the contract was delayed due to tensions between Pakistan and Myanmar due to the persecution of the Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar. Therefore, the lead contractor for the implementation of the contract for the supply of JF-17 fighter jets to Myanmar was the Chinese CAC in Chengdu, which assembles Myanmar airplanes, and the Pakistani PAC produces for the Myanmar airplanes only airframe designs on a contract basis. Like all JF-17, Myanmar fighters are equipped with Russian-made RD-93 engines. First produced in Myanmar single-seat fighter JF-17M made first flight to Chengdu in June 2017.

La Birmanie va participer aux manoeuvres USA-Asean malgré les sanctions


Rangoun, 28 août 2019 (AFP) -

La marine birmane participera la semaine prochaine à des manoeuvres navales communes entre les Etats-Unis et les pays de l'Asean, a annoncé mercredi un porte-parole de l'armée birmane, dont plusieurs dirigeants sont pourtant visés par des sanctions américaines.

Les Etats-Unis ont annoncé mi-juillet des sanctions à l'encontre du chef de l'armée Min Aung Hlaing et de trois autres responsables militaires birmans pour le "nettoyage ethnique" des Rohingyas. Tous les quatre sont, avec les membres de leur famille proche, interdits d'entrée aux Etats-Unis.

L'inclusion de la Birmanie dans les manoeuvres inédites entre les Etats-Unis et les pays de l'Asean ne viole pas ces sanctions. Mais de plus en plus de voix s'élèvent pour demander davantage de mesures de rétorsions contre l'armée birmane, y compris des poursuites pour génocide contre ses dirigeants.

Ces manoeuvres navales, qui doivent débuter le 2 septembre dans le Golfe de Thaïlande, interviennent sur fond de rivalité grandissante entre Washington et Pékin, sur de nombreux dossiers.

Ces tensions portent notamment sur les visées territoriales chinoises en mer de Chine méridionale, qui sont en conflit direct avec plusieurs membres de l'Asean.

"Nous avons été invités à participer à ces manoeuvres dans le cadre de l'Asean", a indiqué Zaw Min Tun, porte-parole du bureau du commandant en chef de l'armée birmane.

"Les sanctions imposées étaient personnelles et cet exercice est en coordination entre l'Asean et les Etats-Unis", a-t-il ajouté.

Début août, la mission internationale d'établissement des faits de l'ONU sur la Birmanie a appelé dans un rapport à des sanctions plus lourdes contre l'armée birmane.

Les auteurs du rapport ont ainsi appelé la communauté internationale à rompre ses liens avec les entreprises liées aux forces armées birmanes, à la tête d'un "empire commercial" de loin le plus puissant du pays.

"Les Etats-Unis devraient travailler avec les membres de la communauté internationale pour demander des comptes à la Birmanie, plutôt que de rejoindre son armée dans des manoeuvres", a réagi John Quinley de l'ONG Fortify Rights.
