Myanmar Army's intention is to produce a family of 6x6 modular platforms for IFVs, weapon carriers, command vehicles, field ambulances, radar carriers, recovery vehicles, towing vehicles and air defence vehicles. Serial production will begin in early 2015. This vehicle will be incorporated with some state of the art fire control and night vision systems from russia and china. Gun and turret will also be imported.

Suppressive regime......military first policy....have isolated themselves from the outside world for quite a long time.....there are many similarities!

Type 92 (WZ 551) APC of Myanmar Army. There are total of 76 Type 92 APCs in Myanmar Army. Based on their experiences, Myanmar Army prefers wheeled APC/IFV.

Graphical design of the Myanmar Navy F 13 which was laid down in 2013. I am not so sure what SAM/SSM systems Myanmar Navy has chosen. In the graphic layout, they have suggested many SAM/SSM systems. But probably they will choose SA-N 7, SS-N 25/27 and Kashtan. And the photo below is the F 12 which has already been launched in 2013 and expected to be commissioned in 2014..

I don't think they have isolated themselves from the whole outside world. They have just isolated themselves from the west while engaging secretly and extensively to the east such as Russia, East European countries, PR China and Israel. The only thing they did is that " talk little and do much" about their military modernization programme. Many nations like Bangladesh and Thailand just misunderestimated their military capabilities. That is also what they wanted from their potential adversaries. They revealed only when their modernization programme gained momentum.

Some indigenous LSTs of Myanmar Navy. Myanmar Navy reported to have 8 LSTs. These LST can carry upto 6 MBTs or 9 APCs/IFVs.
