No specs .. But it can't be Block I... They aren't producing it anymore .. Or could be a customised variant with Myanmar specific sub systems.

True that. During Zhuhai Airshow china, 2016 Myanmar Officials were quoted as saying that Myanmar FC-1/JF-17 purchase would be different than the current variants and as per Myanmar needs/Myanmar Specific with new name.

nope.. bro
Building of all MN ships with stealth feature started 2010 and later..
building of 491, 492 and F12 started in 2010..
F14 was 2012 and the time interval between F14 and 773 was not much.. so u can assume the building of 773 started in 2013..

a customised variants..? i heard it's block 2 with all packages which is used in PAF except aerial refueling.. i dont know it's true or not..

That would depend on Myanmar... A PAF variant will be expensive .. Owing to the fact that it would use western (European Aswell as specialised mission systems)... Pods,weapons etc... Instead of just Pak & Chinese systems.

P.S; JF is modular and can be upgraded..

may be MAF would choose PAK & Chinese ones which can easily get spare parts... still feeling strange for the code name ' Ruby '..

Myanmar Navy commissions first corvette with reduced RCS

29 December 2016

The Myanmar Navy (MN) commissioned several new vessels on 24 December, including UMS (Union of Myanmar Ship) Tabinshwehti with pennant number 773: the service's first guided-missile corvette featuring radar cross-section (RCS) reducing characteristics.


Launched in late November 2014, UMS Tabinshwehti is also the third guided-missile corvette to enter service with the MN. Unlike the two older 77 m guided missile corvettes, UMS Anawrahta (771) and UMS Bayintnaung (772), the recently commissioned corvette has a reduced-RCS superstructure with two masts and a helicopter hangar.

Weapons include one Oto Melara 76 mm gun in a stealthy cupola and two Chinese-made NG-18 gun systems for close-in defence. The ship also features a box launcher for six man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS) - presumably from North Korea.

Moreover, two sets of five-barrelled Chinese-origin RDC anti-submarine rocket launchers are mounted ahead of the main gun and what appear to be two sets of two box launchers for Chinese C-802-series anti-ship missiles are fitted amidships.

The commissioning ceremony, which took place on the MN's 69th anniversary, was attended by the commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, who noted that Myanmar is now capable of constructing missile corvettes to its own specifications from start to finish. "Building warships on a self-reliant basis saves money and provides benefits to Myanmar," he added.

The MN also displayed a locally developed unmanned surface vessel (USV) project using what appears to be a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) from French manufacturer Sillinger fitted with what appears to be a remotely operated machine gun.

Video footage of the demonstration suggests that the USV is controlled by two operators using a commercial-off-the-shelf-based control system with joystick controls and a line of sight radio control.

Other vessels commissioned on 24 December include a 77 m troop transport ship UMS Chindwin and six 29 m landing craft mechanised (LCM) vessels capable of carrying two armoured fighting vehicles.

@Aung Zaya now tell me about 054 OPV and submarine purchase

OPV 054 is still in the process of fitting weapons and sensors.
Myanmar is going to receive first batch of Ming class subs this years.
Ming class subs are not very well appreciated from Myn Navy.
But you know BUDGET decides everything.
