Israel to Bar Myanmar Officials From Arms Expos
Decision to stop issuing visas for this purpose comes after Haaretz documented officers attending Tel Aviv expo, despite international embargo over serious human rights violations
The Israeli government will bar military representatives from Myanmar from attending arms expositions held in Israel as long as Myanmar remains under an international arms embargo over its human rights violations, the Israeli Foreign Ministry has decided.
The decision followed a Haaretz report that army officers from Myanmar, the East Asian country formerly known as Burma, had attended the Israel Defense and Homeland Security expo in Tel Aviv last month. From now on, the ministry said, requests for visas to attend arms expositions coming from the nationals of countries to which Israel refuses to sell arms will be rejected.
Last year, the United Nations concluded that Myanmar had perpetrated ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya, a Muslim minority in the country. Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fled Myanmar and are still classified as refugees. This year, international agencies also reported war crimes by Myanmar’s army against Buddhists living in the country’s west.
Last month, Haaretz reported that the official visitors to the ISDEF expo in Tel Aviv included military representatives from several countries that don’t have official relations with Israel. According the Haaretz report, representatives from South Sudan, another country under an arms embargo over human rights violations, also attended the expo.
Arms sales halted
Israel insists that it has stopped all arms sales to Myanmar, but they prompted Haaretz to ask why, if that was the case, Myanmar officials were still being allowed to come to inspect the latest Israeli military technology on offer. Sales personnel at several of the Israeli booths said they were unaware that sales to Myanmar had been banned. Others said there was no problem with showing Myanmar officials the merchandise, since they understand the restrictions on their country.
The officials from Myanmar at the Tel Aviv exposition declined to respond to a question from Haaretz regarding whether they planned to buy the products they were examining. ISDEF’s organizers issued a statement to Haaretz at the time saying: “This is an international expo with presenters from Israel and around the world. The guests come from more than 90 countries and register online for the expo, which is open to anyone who registers.”
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said at the time that “Israel does not sell arms to Myanmar and this policy has not changed.” With regard to the presence of visitors from South Sudan, Nahshon said that “Israel complies with the UN resolutions on the arms embargo.”
Other government officials also said the arms expo was open to anyone who wished to attend, but to avoid future embarrassments of this kind, the Foreign Ministry decided to stop issuing visas to Myanmar army officers to attend such events in Israel.
Last September, the United Nations described Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. Human rights organizations have said that since August 2017, the Myanmar army has also subjected Rohingya to mass extrajudicial executions and systematic sexual violence and has torched many Rohingya villages.
Some 400,000 Rohingya fled to neighboring Bangladesh. Others have been trapped on the border.
Israel’s defense ties with Myanmar continued even after the crimes became known, and after an arms embargo was imposed on East Asian country by the European Union and the United States. In September 2017, the Israeli High Court of Justice issued a ruling on a petition filed by a lawyer, Eitay Mack, who had sought an order barring arms sales to Myanmar.
Usual gag order
In an exceptional move, the court issued a gag order at the state’s request on the contents of the ruling, but the government has insisted ever since that its arms sales to Myanmar have stopped. Israel has continued to boost its civilian ties with Myanmar in any event. In December 2018, for example, the two governments signed an agreement on cooperation in education.
As Haaretz reported at the time, the agreement calls in part for joint development of a school curriculum on the Holocaust and lessons on the negative effects of intolerance, racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia. It also calls for peer-to-peer contacts between educators and students from the two countries.
Amnesty International’s Israeli branch said it expects Israel to refrain from selling arms to South Sudan and some other countries. “These decisions must be made not only by the Foreign Ministry, but also, and particularly by the Defense Ministry. This is the Israeli government’s obligation under international law and according to the conventions it has signed.”
The Israeli branch of Amnesty said the public campaign on arms sales will continue until the Israeli law governing oversight of arms exports and the Defense Ministry’s policies and regulations are changed.
According to Defense Ministry data, Israel exported about $7.5 billion around the world last year. The sales included missile systems, drones, radar systems and electronic warfare and cybertechnology systems. Most of Israel’s defense exports went to Asia, but that was mainly the result of several very large sales to India.

I have recently done statistics for air force in the world, and it seems that Myanmar air force has a big gap for J-7 numbers, so MAF dose not have 3 units of J-7 but 2, while 1 of them has replaced by JF-17. Or one unit of A-5 has been replaced by JF-17?
Also, what the unit number for the Q5, JF-17 and Mig-29 units?

https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burm...-larger-budget-for-stronger-armed-forces.html
YANGON—The Defense Ministry on Monday requested more than 3.37 trillion kyats (US$2.22 billion) for fiscal year 2019-20, which begins Oct. 1.
The amount is more than 100 billion kyats more than the ministry requested for the previous fiscal year.
Major-General Myint Nwe, deputy minister of defense, told Parliament on Monday that this year’s defense budget request represents an increase of 122.41 billion kyats over last year’s actual budget of 3.24 trillion kyats.
Union-level representatives from 15 ministries (Natural Resources and Environmental Preservation; Labor, Immigration and Population; Industry; Commerce; Education; Health and Sports; Investment and Foreign Economic Relations; Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement; Home Affairs; Defense; Transport and Communications; Electricity and Energy; Planning and Finance; Construction; and Ethnic Affairs) and six Union-level bodies (the Auditor General’s Office; the Union Election Commission; the Attorney General’s Office; the Union Civil Service Board; the Naypyitaw Council; and the Central Bank) explained the expenditure details of the fiscal year budget proposal in the Union Parliament.
Maj-Gen. Myint Nwe said the Myanmar military (or Tatmadaw) is carrying out long-term plans to “build a stronger, qualified, modern, patriotic military” to protect three national causes: non-disintegration of the Union, non-disintegration of national solidarity and the perpetuation of national sovereignty.
He said the requested budget is necessary to implement these plans.
Maj-Gen. Myint Nwe said the Defense Ministry’s capital expenditure is expected to be 1.43 trillion kyats and its normal expenditure is 1.94 trillion kyats. He said the proposed budget covers the cost of salaries, payments to family members of military personnel, transportation, engineers, security costs, weapons, factories, building construction, emergency funds, interest, machinery and other expenses, but he did not offer precise figures for military personnel payments or details regarding specific equipment the Tatmadaw plans to purchase.
Budget proposal requests were presented last week by six of the 11 Union-level bodies (the Union Government Office; the Office of the Union Parliament; the Office of the Upper House; the Office of the Lower House; the Union Attorney General’s Office; and the Constitutional Court) and nine ministries (Foreign Affairs; Border Affairs; the State Counselor’s Office; the President’s Office; Information; Union Government; Religion and Culture; Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation; and Hotels and Tourism).
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Preservation requested 33.86 billion kyats; the Ministry of Labor, Immigration and Population requested 199.10 billion kyats; the Ministry of Industry requested 436.38 billion kyats; the Ministry of Commerce requested 23.54 billion kyats; the Ministry of Health and Sports requested 1.18 trillion kyats; and the Investment and Foreign Economic Relations Ministry requested 6.48 billion kyats.
The Union Parliament’s 20 joint assessment teams will assess the budget requests and submit them to the Public Accounts Committee in the coming weeks. That committee will decide whether or not to approve the budget requests by October.
The military budget has accounted for between 13 and 15 percent of the national budget each year since fiscal year 2012-13.
In fiscal year 2018-19, the defense budget accounted for more than 13 percent of the total government budget. The year before it was 13.9 percent of the budget. In fiscal year 2016-17 it was 14.3 percent, in 2015-16 it was just over 13.6 percent, in 2014-15 it was 12.7 percent, in 2013-14 it was nearly 13.3 percent, in 2012-13 it was just over 14 percent and in 2011-12 it was over 14.6 percent.
According to a Union budget draft proposal, Union-level departments and bodies are expected to earn 25.31 trillion kyats, with total expenditures expected to be 32.34 trillion kyats, leaving an expected budget deficit of 7.03 trillion kyats.
The proposal prioritized spending in the energy and electricity sector; transportation, including upgrading roads and bridges; education; heath; and social welfare.
That’s a lot of money, wonder what they are planning to buy.

Russia Building Six Advanced Fighter Jets for Myanmar Military
A SU-30SM fighter jet. Army chief Sen-Gen. Min Aung Hlaing personally inspected production of the jets being assembled for the Myanmar military at Irkutsk Aviation Plant in Russia.
YANGON—Russia is assembling six Sukhoi SU-30SM fighter jets for Myanmar under a contract worth about US$204 million signed between the two nations last year, Russian news outlets reported on Wednesday.
The news was unveiled during the latest visit to Russia by Myanmar military commander-in-chief Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing to attend the 8th Moscow Conference on International Security this week. Some military observer websites put the market price of one of the twin-turbine engine aircraft at about US$34 million.
At a press conference, Sen-Gen. Min Aung Hlaing said Russia’s military hardware was “very useful” for his military in key locations in Myanmar.
Sen-Gen. Min Aung Hlaing personally inspected the production of the planes at Irkustsk Aviation Plant on April 23. Before the Russia tour, he traveled to China and visited an armored vehicle training school in Beijing and met with senior officers of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on April 11.
Yangon-based military observer Ko Naing Swe Oo from Thayninga Institute for Strategic Studies, a former military officer, told The Irrawaddy that Myanmar’s Air Force possesses reasonable firepower, sufficient to deter external invasion. Thus, he concluded the aim of buying the expensive Su-30SM multirole fighter jets was likely to achieve airspace superiority in the region, particularly in relation to Myanmar’s neighboring countries in Southeast Asia.
Under the military regime, in 2000, Myanmar and Thailand clashed along the border. At that time, Myanmar did not possess the Russian MiG-29s it has now, and the Thai Air Forces deployed its multirole fighter jets during the conflict.
“SU-30SMs are capable of long-distance operations. We can use them in case there is an external invasion [attempt] against us in future,” he said.
He explained that the Su-30 was produced in a number of varieties. For instance, Malaysia has the Su-30 MKM, while India possesses the Su-30 MKI. He said the SU-30SM model is the latest in a series of aircraft upgraded by the Russian military.
However, given the military’s record against ethnic armed rebel groups, some local experts expressed concern about possible airstrikes against the groups by the supersonic jets. Even in battle against the Arakan Army (AA) in northern Rakhine’s Mrauk-U, the military used several MiG-29 warplanes. According to defense blogs, Myanmar has 20 MiG-29D planes and as of 2018, Moscow had delivered a total of 12 Yak-130combat training aircraft to the Tatmadaw.
So far, Myanmar’s purchases of Russian military hardware include MiG-29 fighter jets, Yak-130 combat trainers, Mi-17, Mi-24 and Mi-35 combat helicopters and other weapons. The Su-30SM 4+ generation fighter jet is capable of air-to-air and air-to-ground missions with a wide variety of precision-guided munitions and it can carry about 9 tons of ammunition at one time.
Despite its attempt to upgrade its fleet, the Myanmar Air Force has sustained many losses in recent years.
In October, 2018 a sixth-grade girl and two pilots were killed when a pair of military planes crashed in Magwe Region’s Minbu Township.
In April, 2018, an F-7 fighter from Toungoo Airbase also crashed, killing the pilot. The F-7 is a version of the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 licensed and built by China.
In September 2017, a military G-4 jet fighter from Pathein Airbase crashed about 19 km from Rakhine State’s Gwa Township. Two pilots died in the accident.
In February 2016, a Beechcraft airplane from Myanmar’s Air Force crashed near Naypyitaw International Airport, killing one major, two captains and two other crew members.
And in 2014, a MiG-29 fighter jet from Magwe Air Force Headquarters went down during flight training, damaging the jet but causing no casualties.

YANGON—Russia is assembling six Sukhoi SU-30SM fighter jets for Myanmar under a contract worth about US$204 million signed between the two nations last year, Russian news outlets reported on Wednesday.
The news was unveiled during the latest visit to Russia by Myanmar military commander-in-chief Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing to attend the 8th Moscow Conference on International Security this week. Some military observer websites put the market price of one of the twin-turbine engine aircraft at about US$34 million.
At a press conference, Sen-Gen. Min Aung Hlaing said Russia’s military hardware was “very useful” for his military in key locations in Myanmar.
Sen-Gen. Min Aung Hlaing personally inspected the production of the planes at Irkustsk Aviation Plant on April 23. Before the Russia tour, he traveled to China and visited an armored vehicle training school in Beijing and met with senior officers of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on April 11.
Yangon-based military observer Ko Naing Swe Oo from Thayninga Institute for Strategic Studies, a former military officer, told The Irrawaddy that Myanmar’s Air Force possesses reasonable firepower, sufficient to deter external invasion. Thus, he concluded the aim of buying the expensive Su-30SM multirole fighter jets was likely to achieve airspace superiority in the region, particularly in relation to Myanmar’s neighboring countries in Southeast Asia.
Under the military regime, in 2000, Myanmar and Thailand clashed along the border. At that time, Myanmar did not possess the Russian MiG-29s it has now, and the Thai Air Forces deployed its multirole fighter jets during the conflict.
“SU-30SMs are capable of long-distance operations. We can use them in case there is an external invasion [attempt] against us in future,” he said.
He explained that the Su-30 was produced in a number of varieties. For instance, Malaysia has the Su-30 MKM, while India possesses the Su-30 MKI. He said the SU-30SM model is the latest in a series of aircraft upgraded by the Russian military.
However, given the military’s record against ethnic armed rebel groups, some local experts expressed concern about possible airstrikes against the groups by the supersonic jets. Even in battle against the Arakan Army (AA) in northern Rakhine’s Mrauk-U, the military used several MiG-29 warplanes. According to defense blogs, Myanmar has 20 MiG-29D planes and as of 2018, Moscow had delivered a total of 12 Yak-130combat training aircraft to the Tatmadaw.
So far, Myanmar’s purchases of Russian military hardware include MiG-29 fighter jets, Yak-130 combat trainers, Mi-17, Mi-24 and Mi-35 combat helicopters and other weapons. The Su-30SM 4+ generation fighter jet is capable of air-to-air and air-to-ground missions with a wide variety of precision-guided munitions and it can carry about 9 tons of ammunition at one time.
Despite its attempt to upgrade its fleet, the Myanmar Air Force has sustained many losses in recent years.
In October, 2018 a sixth-grade girl and two pilots were killed when a pair of military planes crashed in Magwe Region’s Minbu Township.
In April, 2018, an F-7 fighter from Toungoo Airbase also crashed, killing the pilot. The F-7 is a version of the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 licensed and built by China.
In September 2017, a military G-4 jet fighter from Pathein Airbase crashed about 19 km from Rakhine State’s Gwa Township. Two pilots died in the accident.
