Myanmar Navy recently launched a photo of two tech stealth vessel that will enter the ranks of the country's naval fleet.
Continuing the tradition of earlier, both vessels made in Rangoon Naval shipyard and keep using electronic equipment and main armament from Russia and China.
The first ship is a type of frigate, numbered F12 hull known as UMS Kyansittha. The hull is exactly the F11 UMS Aung Zeya made in 2008. No more than four years of engineer Myanmar has successfully adopted the stealth ship design technology to reduce the radar cross section view of her in the second frigate made in the country.
Tracing the weapons on F11 frigate Aung Zeya the weapons that will be installed on the new frigate Myanmar is expected to still be the same, consisting of a main canon 76mm Oto Melara Super Rapid Gun, barrel 30mm CIWS 4x6 AK630, anti-submarine launchers topedo 324mm YU-7 and anti-ship missile C-602 2x2.
C602 is a long-range anti-ship missile subsonic speed, for his own use by a Chinese navy ship missile is capable of devouring a distance of 400 km, while the export version of this missile to be downgraded so the ability to stay the distance range to 280 km.
FAC-M
The second ship that was launched hull numbered 491. Judging from the systematic numbering hull on Myanmar Navy is the number 491 in the category of Fast Attack Missile Craft (FAC-M).
Myanmar Navy currently operates 6 class FAC-M Houxin received from China in the second half of the 1990s, and then build their own FAC-M artificial Navy shipyard known as the 5-series up to 5 units.
Tracing the weapons in both types of FAC-M, then at least this new ship will also be equipped with a 2x30mm AK230 main cannon, cannon anti air attack 2x14.5mm Type 69 and 4 anti-ship missile launcher C-802. Subsonic anti-ship missiles made in China is able menhajar ship at a maximum distance 120km.
Myanmar Navy continues to modernize itself in line with its ambition to become a Blue Water Navy. Now the Navy fleet has been strengthened with at least 122 vessels of various types, this number will probably continue to increase along with a mastery of the technology to build ships of war in the country.
