Well, Myanmar (or Burma if you prefer), is sourcing aircraft from Russia, China, Germany, USA and other countries too. Bangladesh is leaning towards Russia for aircaft lately. Any additions or corrections to the order of battle itself? Surely there are more 'watchers' of this country out here? :-)

Attempt at listing Myanmar Air Force order of battle: http://www.scramble.nl/orbats/myanmar/airforce Far from complete, but it is a start anyway...

Nice! See also: Or scroll down to 26june here https://m.facebook.com/Scramblemagazine/ If the direct link does not work.

Indeed, it is a Mirage 5DE, a former Libyan Air Force aircraft, serial number 108, built September 1971.

#062 Saab 2000 formerly SE-LTU was ferried from Sweden through Romania to Pakistan yesterday. That is the third Saab 2000 delivery this year. Of course, these are 'bare' aircraft, not AEW&C (yet).

There is a US sollicitation issued for a prolonged storage and preservation of the three AH-1Z finished products until at least early 2019. So there will be no AH-1Z delivery imminent; unless the US government changes its policy. Refer Oscar's post with the link to the source information.

Any news on #024 yet? Is that J024 by now or 18-024? Meanwhile, #038 formerly SE-MFF, was cancelled 22 May 2018 as being exported to Pakistan. It was at Islamabad calling PAF038 8 June.

An election manifesto... I am sure that TUSAS TAI will announce it on one of their social media channels. So far, only the cooperation deal with KAI Kazkhstan appears there: https://twitter.com/TUSASTAI

The CTS800 engine is made by an Anglo-US consortium (Rolls Royce and Honeywell). So Honeywell should likely need to seek export clearance from the US government if this deal goes ahead. As I may have mentioned before in this thread. If the Americans want to play it a bit dirty, they forbid...

Delivered on 27 April was Saab 2000 #024, probably arrived 28th. Formerly SE-LTX from Braathens Regional. I do not know what configuration it has/will have :-)

That is a potent combination! However, I would suggest to obscure the faces of the special forces guys.

Aircraft #78 has arrived at Monchengladbach a week ago. There are now two, but #79 should be delivered back to Pakistan by the end of the month.

Have not seen any evidence of Mi-35 being in Pakistan, recent satellite images in the public domain do not show them on any of the army bases. They are likely handed over to PAA at Thorzok for training Pakistani crews. But that should be finished shortly. No doubt they will appear shortly.

So Uncle Sam (or in this case Mister Trump) can veto the engines. And at the same time he can give Bell Helicopter the green light for more AH-1Z. What would you do in his position...? (apart from resigning from office ;-))

But the aerial parade is on the Day of the Armed Forces 26 June?

Is that contract signed? The JF-17 has attracted interest from Senegal in 2016 and was again pitched to them in 2017. Will they see the deal through now?

I have seen photographs of all three you mention. 11-132, 16sq during Saffron Bandit June 2013: (source: http://www.paf.gov.pk/press_release/uploaded/1375677810.pdf) 11-133, 2sq at Masroor September 2016: (source: Facebook) Unfortunately, 10-118 was a Facebook hyperlink that does not work...

As far as I know, there are at least 13 AW139, but likely, 14 delivered: SIX-050 to SIX-055 [6] op by ERC 16-062 & 16-063, so likely also 16-061; op by Army [2 or 3] EYE73 [1] op by gvmt 17-001 & 17-002 plus two more (temp Italy reg CSX81922 and 81923) [4] op by Air Force I recall reading...

I have posted a photograph of one of these birds in another thread in September 2017 already, see: https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/russia-completed-the-delivery-of-four-mi-35-combat-helicopters-to-pakistan.514519/page-9#post-9899389 Indeed not confirmed but this scheme resembles that used on many...
