China sells Myanmar strategic HQ-12 missiles

ygnthiri — Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:19:52 +0800

According to Russian media, early November 2013, the Myanmar armed forces has signed a contract to buy 4 system of air defense missile midrange KaiShan 1A (also known as KS-1A), export variant of the Hongqi-10 (HQ-12) of China, to equip a regiment of air defence. With this agreement, Myanmar has become the first foreign country to use anti-aircraft missile system KS-1A. Lot is expected, the rockets will be delivered to Myanmar in June this year.

The China News , China recently has the article explain why Myanmar again choose rocket HQ-12. The following are the reasons for which the China News :

The ability to attack multiple targets

HQ-12 advent system to replace the HQ-2 missiles obsolete. Seen from the outside, can see discarded HQ-12 difference was not large in comparison to rocket HQ-2, equipped with a new radar.

Reliance on any information published at the Zhuhai airshow, this radar has the ability to attack multiple targets, which can simultaneously track 10 targets and guide the missile attack which targets 3.

Rocket HQ-12 using the Launcher in use are relatively common in the Navy’s air defense missile, but he at least found in land-based missiles. In comparison with the HQ-2 missile launchers, HQ-12 was simplified. HQ-12 solid-fuel engines, with a range of 5-50 miles.

Affordability

At present, Europe and America do not care for medium-range air defense missiles, and Russia still have large product quantities may provide but the price is equivalent to expensive, so the selection of medium-range anti-aircraft missiles for the country with tight defense budget on the international market is very limited. Therefore, the HQ-12 in line with the developing countries like Myanmar due to relatively cheap.

Besides, Myanmar has border with China’s Yunnan province to hand over the equipment or the supply component parts may be made directly on the Mainland without chain shipping on the sea.

The army’s air defense capabilities Myanmar relatively weak.According to figures made public today, Myanmar’s air defense weapons mainly artillery and high defense missile, the weapon failed to meet the air force’s combat conditions. So, the HQ-12 joined the defences of Myanmar will bring a quality leap for the country’s air defense forces.

Could shoot down American aircraft

As a developing country, while the area of Myanmar wide but the location need not much defense. So, the HQ-12 if equipped for the military of Myanmar will mostly assume the ground mission.

If the Western powers to attack Myanmar, attacks can come from the East and the city of Yangon. Meanwhile, rocket HQ-12 deployed in any one location in the outskirts of downtown Yangon is able to cover the city’s airspace.

The current capital of Naypyidaw is Myanmar in Mandalay, are surrounded by forested mountains, the eastern front was the high mountain ranges, if missiles HQ-12 on the mountain in the East can also protect the city.

But the two fighters 4 generations of America’s F-16 and F/A-18 has advantages and strong operational capacity but can not afford basis.So, with the ability to search and jamming of missile and radar system HQ-12 can easily strike the American plane.

Rocket HQ-12 can also destroy the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, especially unmanned aircraft like the Global Hawk strategy.

Currently, unmanned aircraft in service with the US Army reconnaissance capability, however, is very strong and capable of certain attacks but most of them are incapable of stealth, meanwhile, slow speed and poor maneuverability made it very vulnerable to anti-aircraft missile as rockets the HQ-12 shot down.

For the reasons above, the China News concluded HQ-12 is a perfect system for Myanamar.

Burmese Navy Stealth Frigate F12 Kyansittha hull numbered Myanmar Navy (All photos: Myanmar Navy)

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.

Manmar Navy's most impressive growth has been in its frigate fleet. Myanmar Navy launched its third indigenous frigate on 29th March 2014 at the Thilawa Naval Dockyard. The ship was christened F 14 Sin Phyu Shin. Sin Phyu Shin was the king of the ancient Myanmar who conquered the Kingdom of Thailand in the 1700s AD. He also resisted and defeated the mighty neighbour China in the northern Myanmar.
F 14 became the second Stealth frigate for the Myanmar Navy and used the same hull and propulsion as the preceding F 12 frigate, which had also been built by Thilawa Naval Dockyard. While the F 12 used a mixture of Russian and Chinese systems, the F 14 used predominantly Chinese systems, with a few sensors being notable exceptions. The F 14 is designed for the fleet air defence role, and will be mounted with Type 346 radar and HQ-9 air defence missiles. It will also carry C 602 anti-ship missiles which has the maximum range of 280 km. Aviation facilities included a rear hangar and flight deck for one Ka-28-A or Z-9 helicopter.
Myanmar Navy since 2010 has put into service three indigenous frigates of which two are stealth design with rear hangar. Keel laying ceremony of the fourth indigenous frigate F 15 was held in the late 2013. Myanmay Navy also acquired two Type 053 frigates from China in 2011 and upgraded with C 802A SSM. Therefore Myanmar Navy is currently operating 2 Type 053H frigates and 1 indigenous Aung Zeya class frigate. Second indigenous frigate F 12 is ongoing sea trial and expected to enter service in late 2014. Third indigenous frigate F 14 will join Navy in 2015. F 15. fourth indienous frigate is expected to enter service by 2016. Myanmar is planning to build six figates of (108 metre ) Aung Zeya class and four (122 metre ) modifid Aung Zeya class in the Thilawa Naval Dockyard. Apart from these frigates Myanmar Navy is also operatng two light frigates. F 771 and F 772.

The information of Myanmar is part of confidential, but recent Chinese press has officially announced the first photo related to building projects frigate hull number F-14 of Myanmar Navy with active support from the Chinese.

CNJ newspaper said, the frigate was placed No. F-14 is being finalized and the final finishing stage before being officially launched.

The newspaper also said that China, the frigate F-14 is made with technology equivalent of the F-12 Kyansittha was launched in late 2012.

Accordingly, this ship is applied the stealth technology in its design, the superstructure of the ship and helicopter hangar behind.

On the strength of power, the vessels equipped with super rapid gun Oto Melara 76mm of French, four 30mm cannon with a rapid-fire, and anti-ship missile C-802 produced by China.

Pictures of the F-14 is being completed building at the shipyard Sinmalaike.

Chinamil of China said that with the emergence of this class frigate, the strength of the Myanmar navy will significantly improve and become a new force in Southeast Asia.

It is expected that the vessel will be officially launched next month.

The overall design model of the F-14 as well as the F-12's previously Myanmar navy.

After has been launched, the F-12 Kyansittha was deployed with radar installations, weapons and completing a testing process.

Chinese media focusing especially on the cooperation of defense technology with Myanmar and confirms the partnership will help ensure that Myanmar could produce the modern military weaponry to meet the current requirements.
