"Russia has also supplied Burma with military hardware. In late 2002,
Burma purchased eight MiG-29B-12 air-superiority combat aircraft and
two dual-seat MiG-29UB trainers from Russia, at a cost of about $130
million, and the nation negotiates to purchase Russian air-defense
systems. In May, Russia signed a deal to build a 10-megawatt nuclear-
research reactor in Burma =E2=80=93 and Russia, like China and India,
shows
interest in energy cooperation with Burma. Hardly surprisingly,
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 28 that although he
was 'sorry about civilian deaths' in Rangoon, it was 'premature' to
speak about sanctions."

"Burma's confirmation of plans to build a 10-megawatt nuclear reactor
with the help of Russia's federal atomic energy agency Rosatom has
created nervousness and anxiety among Burma observers.
[...]
"U Thaung visited Moscow several times in the past seven years in
pursuit of the deal. Earlier negotiations were interrupted in 2003
because of a dispute over the terms of payment, but perhaps the regime
might now feel cash is no longer a problem in view of Burma=E2=80=99s
newly-=
discovered vast natural gas reserves.
"Although Burma has science and engineering students, U Thaung
realized they need nuclear orientation and training and Burma began
sending students and army officers to Moscow. In 2006, Nuclear Physics
departments were established in the universities of Rangoon and
Mandalay, with enrolment controlled by the government.
"Last year, Russia=E2=80=99s ambassador to Burma, Dr Mikhail M. Mgeladze,
confirmed that about 2,000 Burmese students had been admitted to 11
academic institutions in Russia, under a bilateral agreement, and
about 500 had returned to Burma with bachelor, master=E2=80=99s or
doctorate=
degrees."
