UMS Minye Theinkhathu (71) (Burmese: မင်းရဲသိင်္ခသူ; [mɪ́ɴjɛ́ θèiɴgəðù]) is a Sindhughosh (Kilo)-class submarine owned by the Myanmar Navy.
It is the first of two submarines procured by the country's navy, followed by the UMS Minye Kyaw Htin.
[10][7] The submarine was first seen publicly as a Myanmar Navy ship, as UMS Minye Theinkhathu, on 15 October 2020 as part of a naval fleet exercise (‘Bandoola 2020’).
[9] The submarine was formally commissioned along with other six new ships at the 73rd Navy Day ceremony on 24 December 2020.
[11][12] The ceremony was attended by the Indian and Russian ambassadors to Myanmar, which the military intelligence company Jane's believes could indicate Russian involvement in the submarine's transfer to Myanmar.
