UK is not the only one with naval shipbuilding problems.
The Dutch and Belgian navies’ ASWF frigates have not even started construction yet. They are supposed to replace the Karel Doorman-class frigates, some now over 35 years old and originally planned for retirement around 2020.
With only 4 ships ordered (2 per navy), the first delivery was initially expected in 2029. It has now slipped to 2033 at the earliest.
Four years to build a frigate is already long, but €1 billion per ship is especially difficult to justify when the hulls are to be built in Romania.
Damen was also supposed to lead construction of Germany’s F-126 frigates, but similar design delays and program issues reportedly pushed Berlin toward transferring leadership to Rheinmetall, which is now said to be seeking around €12 billion to rescue the project.

Kachin rebel forces captured one of the high ranking commanders of the Wazarup PMF and lackey of leader Min Zay Thant in an Ambush
The Wazarup PMF is a pro-junta militia operating in Kachin state. They're made up of local criminals and smaller ethnic groups who don't like the KIA.
They're commonly used as shock troops by the Junta due to their deep knowledge of the area, thus they get better equipment from the junta.
Recently they have been focusing on attacking weak isolated KIA garrisons, seems that the KIA set up a trap for them.
