According to the documents, which were in the online, Myanmar is planning to organize the licensed production of the new Ukrainian armored personnel carriers BTR-4.

This is the writing of Russian military expert Diana Mikhailova.

According to her words, the state company "Ukrspetsexport" supplies to Myanmar set of equipment for the production of welded shells for light armored vehicles BTR-type 4U and 2S1U. Apparently, the planned organization of production in Myanmar BTR-4. Designation 2S1U previously had the option of upgrading the 122-mm self-propelled howitzers 2S1, however, in this case, it may have in mind the assembly organization in Myanmar tracked vehicles based on the chassis and hulls 2S1.





According to the contract № USE-16.1-27-K / KE-14, concluded in 2014, the Ukrainian has received a set of equipment for the production of welded shells for light armored vehicles BTR-4U and 2S1U. In particular, the complete sheet was loaded 15-ton assembly and welding stand for BTR-4U TO53.1329-270, assembly and test configuration housing a total cost of $ 44,301,966.

It is previously known in 2003-2006. assembly kits for 92 BTR-3E has been supplied to Myanmar. @madokafc sis ,do u know why Indonesia cancel its BTR-4..? now we're getting licensed to make them in local.

This kind of btr4
Btr-4m marinized version for indonesian marines, plan to be deploy from indonesian lpd.

The reconsideration follows KORMAR (indonesian marines) personnel reporting a number of issues with the platform during its initial training activities.

These included situations in which the APC is trimmed excessively by the bow when operated at full speed in the water.

Hey @Aung Zaya

Is there a Myanmar transport department base statistics for number of vehicles registered by year/total on the road etc?

There are couple 3rd party ones reporting estimates of previous years like knoema etc....so I was wondering where the data for this presentation comes from:

http://www-gio.nies.go.jp/wgia/wg9/pdf/3-wg3-4_hnin_hnin_aye.pdf

Because if its true, MM has both more cars and motorcycles than our mutual best friend ...who got more than 3 times number of people than you.

This has some nice info too BTW:

but base Myanmar govt source would be nice to have if you can find it.

Ohh.. I see.. Just only amphib ability.. ?Any other else..?

BTR4 will be used by the Myanmar army right? the amphibious capability not really necessary then,

I think it trimmed coz of its hull shape.
anyway , we also should reconsider whether we need or not before finalised the deal..

Yes. But just in case , we cross the water barriers like rivers or lakes when we convey. Amphib is not major factor though. Hope this problem can be fixed when we build them.

The site u given is old data and it will be different a lot in number. within recent years , the number is growing sharply as price tag is affordable. We imported 670k vehicles just within 5 years.. That's why car companies are investing here.. Even Tata already built a factory to produce trucks
we have over 1 million registered vehicles according to this..
Although first word should be 6 instead of 9 in 2015 data..

Hey @Aung Zaya hope you are well my friend, you seem to be taking a break for now

NEW DELHI: Steadily cranking up military ties with Myanmar as part of the overall policy to counter China's strategic inroads in the region, India is now also going to export lightweight torpedoes to the country.

India is already providing rocket launchers, mortars, rifles, radars, night-vision devices, Gypsies, bailey bridges, communication and Inmarsat sets as well as road construction equipment like dozers, tippers and soil compacters to the Myanmarese armed forces.

The export documents for the $37.9 million deal with Myanmar for the indigenously developed torpedoes, in turn, were presented to finance-cum-defence minister Arun Jaitley at function here on Friday.

The function, which included the presentation of the annual DRDO excellence awards, also saw Jaitley hand over three indigenously-developed products - USHUS-2 submarine sonar suite, directing gear and inertial navigation system for warships - to Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba.
DRDO chief S Christopher said the export of the light-weight torpedoes, which have been developed by his organization and are produced by defence PSU Bharat Dynamics and engineering giant L&T, would follow the earlier supply of naval sonars, acoustic domes and directing gear to Myanmar.
Indian Army, on its part, is also stepping-up coordinated patrolling with Myanmarese forces along the porous 1,643-km bilateral land border to turn the heat on Indian insurgent groups operating in the region.

India is keen that Myanmar undertake sustained operations against militant groups like the NSCN (Khaplang), ULFA, United National Liberation Front (UNLF), People's Liberation Army (PLA), Kannglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) and Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), who for long have had bases in the thick jungles along the international border.
In June 2015, Indian para-commandos had conducted a "successful" cross-border raid against two insurgent camps inside Myanmar after 18 Indian soldiers were killed in an ambush in the Chandel district of Manipur.
