India has started supply of advanced weaponry and gadgets to Myanmar Army to force militant outfits to flee their border bases in Myanmar.

India and Myanmar had managed to develop a consensus on several bilateral issues during President U. Htin Kyaw’s New Delhi visit. India was also going to provide helicopters and other advanced gear to strengthen the strike capabilities of the Myanmar Army, Asian Age reported quoting unnamed sources from the home ministry as saying Monday.

Myanmar is confident of making its military headquarters along its borders functional in six months that will reduce the comfort level of Indian insurgents operating from the neighbouring country, the news daily quoted unnamed sources as saying.

The sources said Myanmar had not only promised full military cooperation in tackling militants operating from its territory but also agreed to enhance road connectivity from India to Southeast Asia. Saying India had already succeeded in taking Thailand and other Southeast Asian nations on board regarding the trans-national highways proposed in its “Act East” policy, the security sources said that India had started investing heavily in Myanmar.

Insurgents may have to flee border bases after Delhi’s move
In what may force Indian insurgent outfits to leave their bases in Myanmar, New Delhi has started supplying advanced weaponry and gadgets to the Myanmar Army to enable it to set up its military headquarters close to areas occupied by the rebel groups.

Saying India and Myanmar had managed to develop a consensus on several bilateral issues during President U. Htin Kyaw’s New Delhi visit, authoritative security sources in the home ministry told this newspaper that India was also going to provide helicopters and other advanced gear to strengthen the strike capabilities of the Myanmar Army.

Noting that relations between the two neighbouring countries were at their best in the past 50 years, the sources said that Myanmar was confident of making its military headquarters functional in six months, that will reduce the comfort level of Indian insurgents operating from the neighbouring country.

Pointing out that newly-elected Myanmar President U Htin Kyaw had chosen India for his first visit outside the country, the sources said Myanmar had not only promised full military cooperation in tackling militants operating from its territory but also agreed to enhance road connectivity from India to Southeast Asia. Saying India had already succeeded in taking Thailand and other Southeast Asian nations on board regarding the trans-national highways proposed in its “Act East” policy, the security sources said that India had started investing heavily in Myanmar.

Admitting there was also stress on increasing people-to-people contacts between the two nations, the sources said Myanmar was equally concerned about its territory becoming a hub of insurgency.

Sources said Myanmar could play a vital role not only in ensuring and promoting peace and security in Northeast India but also in its economic growth.

The Government of India is assisting Myanmar in strengthening its army so that the bases of anti-Indian government insurgent groups based in Myanmar can be evicted, The Assam Tribune reported on 4 September.

Highly placed sources in the Government of India were quoted as telling The Assam Tribune that Myanmar appreciated India’s concern on the issue of the militant groups of the Northeast having bases in the country and assured the Indian Government that action would be taken to deal with the problem.

According to the report, India is providing logistical help to Myanmar to strengthen its army, which includes the supply of modern weapons, defence equipment and helicopters.

it means we're getting HAL Rudra bro ... whatever it's good for both... Cheer

I was thinking this too but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. I wonder what stage this deal/transfer is at....you think its probably loan based or its a direct grant/assistance?

I am thinking "arms" is just the munitions for the helicopter....does Myanmar really have any need for regular small arms?

Your thoughts? You think it could be Rudra?

 

[alaungphaya]

Not to sound cynical but the military sometimes does this to get some free gear but then does little in response. They did this in the 70's with the US war on drug when we got some free Hueys and they did this before with India in return for some T-55's

What are the helicopters India is thinking of sending?

 

[kaykay]

Which helicopters? Rudra?
