Ambassador Spoke About Myanmar’s Plans to Purchase Russian Fighters
MOSCOW - RIA News. Myanmar intends to continue the purchase of Russian fighter jets, not only of the Su-30 type, but also of the next generation, negotiations are underway, said Koh Shane, Myanmar’s ambassador to Russia, in an interview with RIA Novosti.
At the end of September 1, the MAKS-2019 aerospace show was the first to present an export version of the fifth-generation fighter Su-57.
"We would like to buy not only Su-30 fighters, but also next-generation aircraft, of course, if Russia wants to sell them," said Ko Ko Shane.
He emphasized that negotiations on this topic were ongoing, but refused to detail them.
Russia and Myanmar signed a contract in 2018 for the supply of six Su-30SM fighters. This year, Myanmar received six Yak-130 combat training aircraft under a contract from 2017.
