Myanmar Navy starts submarine training in Pakistan

A small contingent of Myanmar Navy (MN) personnel has begun submarine warfare training in Pakistan, a move that suggests Myanmar is finally taking concrete steps towards developing a subsurface capability.

Around 20 officers and ratings arrived in Karachi in late April/early May to begin basic familiarisation training with the Pakistan Navy (PN), according to diplomatic sources. It is likely the contingent is based at the PN's Submarine Training Centre at PNS Bahadur, an onshore facility in Karachi that offers simulator training in diving, propulsion, and sonar tape listening and analysis.

The PN's submarine service has relied on French boats almost since its inception in the 1960s, and today operates two obsolescent Hashmat-class Agosta-70 boats and three modern Khalid-class Agosta-90Bs.

If this report is true BD will consider this an unfriendly act. The Rohingyas will see this as treachery from a leading Muslim nation.

Come to India baby, we will help you
 
Bangladesh,refuses to accept our sincere efforts for normalizing ties.

Rohinga's are not on our mind right now,we have too much on our plate domestically. Moreover,training sub mariners from Burma don't harm Rohinga's, nor does selling them our old Augosta 70 subs.
