It will take times bro coz our submarine base in an undisclosed place will not be ready before early 2018.
Subs will not be able to operate without a proper base.
Actually we are receiving a pair of Ming class from China as a gift (friendship price) very soon.
As soon as the base is ready, Ming class will be delievered.
But Ming class are not MN's choice. They are just stop-gap. Kilo is the only sub MN want.
MN is also in the process of advanced negotiation with Russia to buy some Kilo class.
If we buy Kilos, we can send them to India for repair and maint: But for the Ming, we'd probably need to send them to China.

Any news that China will send Ming class to myanmar?
I never see that news, it's new info for me.

If myanmar can acquire kilo subs in the future, it's a good news for myanmar.
because until today, myanmar still not operate subs at all.

But that kilo subs, still cannot compete with Thailand Yuan class subs (Type 041) with Stirling AIP Tech (Air Independent Propulsion).
And after Thailand Navy and Pakistani Navy, there is also Indication that Bangladeshi Navy will acquire Yuan class AIP subs (Type 041) soon.

AIP Technology is one of the most important thing in Modern subs today.

Good luck for them too
