According to a report from armyrecognition.com, a security industry news website, Myanmar is going to receive the first batch of Chinese-made SY-400 short-range ballistic missiles very soon after a series of tough negotiations that lasted for years. Myanmar will also get some kind of technology transfer along with some amount of loan to cover.

The SY-400 is a short-range precision-attack ballistic missile system fitted with GPS/INS guidance system. Missiles are factory-fitted into 8 containers and can be stored for years and do not require additional maintenance. Missiles are launched vertically and have a range of about 400 km. This weapon system is mounted on 8×8 high-mobility wheeled launcher vehicles boasting cross-country mobility and can go over all kinds of rough terrain according to reports.
