Since the year 1989 the military authorities in Burma have promoted the name Myanmar not approved by any sitting legislature in Burma. In December 2009 Myanmar government order in Russia 20 MiGs-29 (in MiG-29SE and MiG-29B according to the RSK MiG annual report for 2009). Apparently MiG won a tender with Chinese J-10 and FC-1. It will be bigest contract since Algerian - about 400 million Euro. In Ukraine, in the beginning of the year 2010 (Lviv Air Repair Plant) was photographed MiG-29 (9-12) after overhaul, in camouflage without markings that looks like Birmani. Recently Russia, Belarus and Ukraine signed contract for cooperation in overhauls. |
