Look stay happy with your Chinese and 2nd hand refurb buses.

lol why do u skip the Scania buses that i provided to u. lol many of our bus comprise with Scania. there will be no second hand buses in next few years.

And don't bother posting them here which is off topic. Bus Services in Bangladesh (and the equipment with Volvo triple-axle and bi-level buses) is better than even most Indian situations, though that was never our benchmark.. Forget about even comparing with us.

while u are over-proud of ur buses condition, ur very own news papers highlighted different stories. Enjoy !!!!

A manager of a BRTC bus depot said the corporation has a serious shortage of skilled mechanics and funds to repair the buses.
BRTC Buses: Doomed to early demise
https://www.thedailystar.net/frontpage/news/brtc-buses-doomed-early-demise-1699228
i shall post the pic of poor situation of ur bus while u re talking shit about superiority of ur transportation here..

seem like ur so-called valvo started making u guys in trouble.
Purchase of ‘Faulty’ Buses, Trucks: BRTC to start probe soon
https://www.thedailystar.net/backpa...ransport-corporation-start-probe-soon-1850506

New BRTC buses old before long
Buses of state-run Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation are getting unserviceable long before expiry of their economic life for procurement of low quality vehicles and corruption in their maintenance.
BTW, i can see many of so-called valvo buses in the pic. great !!!!

@Nilgiri may be i cant help this guy get some sense. and he want to compare with india. blah
may be a waste of my time replying this over-proud guy.

Let your Tatmadaw generals make their first amateur move. We will be waiting

Why u are waiting as u think ur armed force are far superior than us? Go ahead and make a move first.

Hello all ... I have a quick question : how many JF-17s are in service with the Myanmar air force. Wiki says 6 delivered and 10 on order, but these appear to be older statistics.

 

[MINN]

Calm down, no need to go on a semi racist tirade.


Economically Myanmar is insignificant, this is a fact, but you have good armed forces due to military rule and prioritization on weapons procurement.


And first visit Bangladesh before making such statements, Bangladesh is more developed than Myanmar according all human development indices and pointers, you don't need to be a genius to know this.

You have issue with individual users, your problem you solve it, don't insult the entire country.

We both know how not "LDC" Myanmar is, so much so that you don't understand that we are delaying LDC graduation since 2016 to reap the benefits and that you are also an LDC but you are not included similar to how pakistan is not.

Being LDC doesn't mean anything, Pakistan isn't an LDC, are you telling me Pakistan is more developed than Bangladesh ?

We are neck and neck with India in terms of human development, is Myanmar anywhere near India or even pakistan ?


Let's not derail this thread, don't talk smack about Bangladesh and we'll be fine.

There is more to human life than defence, you can't swallow tank shell and goto bed with full belly, Myanmar government doesn't publish accurate unadulterated statistics on many things and at times doesn't publish anything, we all know Myanmar is not Singapore so let's calm down.


Every country has different priorities, you want weapons good for you but don't expect to mock another country and go unchallenged. .

Outside Asia, nobody knows what Burma or Myanmar nor does anyone care, Bangladesh is a massive economy compared to Bangladesh and a growing investment destination. Bangladeshis are everywhere.

Any conflict with a neighbor with a bigger economy, better infrastructure, more manpower and more money is overall a death sentence.


Myanmar does not want war with Bangladesh nor will it be able to sustain a war with Bangladesh, admitting this doesn't make Myanmar armed forces any less strong, you are sometimes not meant to fight with certain opponents.

If Bangladesh decides to go on a shopping spree right now by ignoring it's citizens needs, we can outclass Myanmar multiple times over with by just doubling out military budget to 9 or 10 billion dollars this is just for armed forces, , security forces including 2 million paramilitary (excluding Police) is another 3 billion.

We can infact field a 10 billion dollar budget, without breaking a sweat if we want to with our economy of 350+ billion USD.


There will come a point in time, maybe in 2030s when Myanmar can simply not match Bangladeshi spending any longer.

It's a matter of economics, just check the numbers and do the math, similar to how Indians can buy four times or five times whatever the Pakistanis can.

I'm not sure but it seems its the BD member always smack talking about Myanmar and most of the time unprovoked.

Deal with individual users or report the posts, no need to 'attack' Bangladesh verbally and make racist statements.


Report trolls.

 

[MINN]

Interesting you bring up the covid situation, it seems like a big part of the country does not even know about the covid situation. Ignorance is bliss.


https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/23/asia/myanmar-internet-coronavirus-intl-hnk/index.html

that is a very false narrative put out by clickbait media. Their main argument was that because there is no internet that they do not know what COVID is but that is simply bullshit. there are other means of relaying information other than the internet like television, newspaper, radio or even phone call form their relatives.

lol the only reason we dont send satellite into space is we already have 2 satellites ( one partially and another one is wholly owned. ) which is enough for current situation. Do u know about Myanmar sat-2 which was lunched in 2019. ?if not, read this -
http://asiatoday.com/pressrelease/myanmar-upgrades-it-communication-satellite-system



health care ??? u means like bd's state of art health care infrastructure which is issuing massive fake certificates for some takas. ( even for covid-19). yes. sad if u ask me.


lol dont bring ur narrow mind.please. if u are so rich and well-educated, why ur gov need to export ur guys to Africa as Farmers. ( now i have bold the word in case if u dont see ). in fact, it is so obvious, ur so-called big industries can not employed enough these so-called well-educated farmers.

we also have 2 satellites to lunch within the next 5 years. one of which will lunch next year.

Report trolls.

most of the racist remarks are made by BD members you can clearly see it.

the wiki is kind of controlled by a diehard wiki editor that does not allow it to be updated I have attempted to but to no avail. There are also many missing types of equipment that is not on the wiki. like the CJ-6, the number of K-8w, and several Bell helicopter types of which Myanmar has 20-30 operational but does not show on the wiki. As for the JF17, there is a total of 6 one-seaters and 2 two-seaters in Myanmar right now.

@MINN Thanks for your professionalism and patriotism

@MINN Thanks for your professionalism and patriotism

welcome to the forum.
it is nice to have new mm members.

 

[Wanchai]

Both Myanmar and Bangladesh army are average army. Any fighting or brawl won't benefit either of the parties. At best it will benefit India and China.

Leave all the hatred and develop your economy and living standard now.

Oh, I do not hate my BD friends here, this is for debate sake and opening their eyes.

 

[Nilgiri]

@tarpitz take it easy, lets get back to discussing MM defense developments.

u could argue the Irrawaddy is from Myanmar so it is biased, which I agree with but it is also one of the news outlets that is not state owned or controlled that makes a lot of cronies and militaryboos salty when it talk trash about the military

"On MN decks, memories of a humiliating climb-down a decade ago in the face of the Bangladesh Navy still rankle.


Natural gas exploration undertaken by a South Korean drilling platform escorted by MN vessels in disputed waters near the two sides’ maritime border triggered first diplomatic protests and then in November 2008 a concentration of superior Bangladeshi naval firepower, which forced the MN to back down and quit the area...."

superr duperr myanmar police farce detained by border guard bangladesh!!
