NEW DELHI: India is stepping up military supplies to Myanmar including training to its military personnel to handle more sophisticated defence equipment such as aircraft. India has agreed to transfer three British origin Islander aircraft to Myanmar and has started training officers of the Tamdaw Lay (Myanmar Air Force) at the naval base in Kochi in handling characteristics. Both sides are discussing the transfer of more Islander planes after firming up maintenance and servicing issues. It is planning to replace most of these planes with new Dornier aircraft. “The cooperation with our neighbours is in keeping with the Prime Minister’s desire to improve relations with them,” said a senior officer in the security establishment.The move to gift the aircraft was viewed by Britain as an attempt to bolster the military government.
