Le 1er Novembre dans l’après-midi, les journalistes du média chinois Sina.com ont rencontré le chemin des officiers de l’armée de l’air Birmane, ces derniers ont confirmé « avec certitude » l’achat de l’avion de chasse sino-pakistanaais FC-1.

Au niveau des avions de combat, l’armée de l’air Birmane est dotée aujourd’hui d’une cinquantaine de vieux chasseurs chinois J-7M et d’une trentaine de MiG-29, ainsi qu’une vingtaine d’avion d’attaque Air-Sol Q-5.

Leur pilotes s’entraînent aussi avec des jet de formation chinois Nanghang K-8. L’arrivée de FC-1, de conception chinoise, devrait donc faciliter la prise en main par les pilotes qui ont déjà l’habitude de voler sur les appareils fabriqués en Chine.

Interrogé sur leur opinions autour de deux autres avions de chasse chinois J-10 et J-20, les officiers birmans indiquent qu’ils les « adorent », mais le pays n’a pas besoin de ce genre d’avion.

Durant la visite, ces mêmes officiers de l’armée de l’air Birmane ont manifesté de fort intérêt à un mini-jet biplace de surveillance, le « Aerial Survey Star » (航测之星), du groupe électronicien chinois CETC. Ils ont confirmé également leur intention d’achat sur ce modèle.

But there was a doubt..But now confirmed at Zhuhai

 

[The Eagle]

The same was already reported during Zhuhai airshow as well, in another thread, whereby it was even trnaslated from another article that most probably, the Myanmar customized (FC/1 JF-17) Aircraft would be renamed (unknown).

With reference to first article here, translation is a bit hilarious and much complex to rearrange all here but as far as I understand,

Chinese press meet the Burmese Military officers that confirmed the purchase but did not confirm the numbers. However, according to Israeli Source, the order for 16 JF-17s is placed with US$ 35 Millions (seems like advance payment for confirmation of order).

 

[Windjammer]

Myanmar was the first confirmed export order at the last year PAS, but it wanted to engage both China and Pakistan separately, hence the reason the order was put on hold and now Nigeria may be the first foreign recipient.

No idea, I would prefer to wait for confirmation however, it could be a mere media misreading/hearing as well. Let's see. We had a circulated picture of prototype/test flying in blue camo in JF-17 thread as well that most probably matches the Myanmar colour scheme.
