1. Myanmar Navy have been training in submarines since the 2000s. We have trained in China, Russia, Pakistan and India submarine courses.
2. We already have a sub base.
3. We plan on buying 2-4 new subs.
4. We have a new class of ASW ships rolling out this year.
Im not saying you are wrong but do some research in to what we have before talking facts.
Buying 2-4 sub bases that will take years apon years to finish huh ?
2-4 subs , well guess what we will buy more
New class of ASW ships , well of course you will not get the best ASW sonars from China due to India and course you can't get Western sonars like us so I wonder if those ASW ships will help.
Bangladesh also has been training submariners since , I don't think Myanmar will get the quality training due to the fact that it's sanctioned and a lot of nations don't trust it.
And if you guys were training for submarines since 2000 , it doesn't even mater cause Myanmar's military budget goes to the Army and Air Force first and Navy barely gets anything so.
Myanmar can't to afford to lose most of their economy to build sub bases let alone 4 of them AGAIN which will take years to build.
In the end of the day Bangladesh Navy is going to win in the long run , while our economy grows to support even a larger Navy or armed forces.
We have many options for submarines , Myanmar only has maybe China and Russia.
Myanmar also doesn't have many options for better ASW helis cause they again can't buy weapons from the West.
