Four Russian fighter jets arrive in Naypyidaw

The coup d'état purchased six SU-30 SME multi-role fighter jets made by Russia's Sukhoi, four of which arrived at Naypyidaw Air Force Base with Russian IL-76 cargo planes from 19 to 24 weeks. One told RFA.

"It was shipped on a Russian cargo plane called IL 76," he said. One on the 19th; One on the 20th; On the 23rd, another ship arrived. Then I arrived on the 24th. As far as I know, four out of six SU-30s have arrived. At Nay Pyi Taw Air Force Base. On the 23rd, the book opening ceremony was held. The SU-30 Volume 45 Opening Ceremony Squadron 45 Opening Ceremony These guys can fly south and north of Burma. As far as I know, some Burmese went to Russia early for training. To fly those planes; Below is another step in repairing these guys, and the technical soldiers below are training there. ”

According to the CDM sergeant, those who arrived this week included Russian pilots and members of the Russian Economic Investment Board.

Russia's Deputy Defense Minister, who is attending a military parade, arrived in Naypyidaw yesterday. The SU-30 SME fighter jets purchased by the military council are cheaply made for sale abroad and cost more than US $ 30 million each.

The CDM sergeant said he overheard Senior General Min Aung Hlaing talking to the lieutenant general and army chief at a dinner in 2019 to raise funds for the purchase of the aircraft.

"On that day, they were the lieutenant general, "I'm going to buy those planes when you and I have lunch," he said. The lieutenant general is in charge of the MEC. The commander-in-chief is in charge. "How many millions of dollars do you extort from me?" They are trying to buy those planes for more than $ 200 million. These problems are due to the fact that the army is not making any profit because of the purchase of the six aircraft. ”

Some of the fighter jets will be flown by Russian pilots at a military parade tomorrow.

The sergeant also said that Burmese pilots would not be able to fly at the moment.

“Myanmar drivers still need to be skilled to drive. If they show off on this Revolution Day, of course. I can not drive Myanmar locks yet. Burmese people do not get time to train. They have to come and drive. We pilots are not that skilled yet. They just learned to drive there. You can not drive in Myanmar because you can not drive a beauty pageant just because you can drive normally. ”

Tun Myint, a professor at the Department of Political Science and International Affairs at Carleton College in Minnesota, said the relationship between Russia and the Burmese military was an international one.

Russia He called on leaders of the Spring Revolution, including China and the United States, to keep an eye on the current global political changes and use them effectively in their struggle for democracy.

"Now they are facing all kinds of difficulties," he said. They are hated both internationally and domestically. Russia's Putin-led Ukraine war has made the world hate Putin. So it is not surprising that the people have been communicating with the ignored dictators and revealing what they have. How will Southeast Asian countries respond to Russia's close military and economic ties with Burma? We have to wait and see. The NUG and other revolutionary groups know that what Bangladesh and India are doing with the Burmese military is not in vain. Russia and China In other words, geopolitics. These are the issues they respond to. The United States, meanwhile, has offered $ 7 to monitor China under the NDAA National Defense Act More than a billion has been set aside and works. So looking at these, quite simply, the field is getting wider. I feel dizzy. "It's very important that we do not have the guts to make this spring revolution a success."
