Satellite imagery of Myanmar's Yangon naval facilities reveals the junta is building at least one submarine at a recently completed Chinese-built shipbuilding facility. This marks the first time Myanmar has attempted domestic submarine construction, as the junta has previously focused on oversized warships. It remains unclear whether the project is independent or involves cooperation with Russia, North Korea, or both.
