Myanmar Rebels: Drones as the New Air Force against the Junta

Myanmar's rebel groups, such as the Chin National Army, have been using a new fleet of drones to launch targeted attacks on the military junta, resulting in significant territorial gains and a shift in the ongoing conflict. The rebel forces have managed to capture back 70% of Chin state, including key military bases, using drones and an army of trained civilian fighters. The use of drones has created a tactical shift in the battlefield, diminishing the junta's advantage and instilling fear among its ranks. The rebel groups have also seen increased coordination and alliance among different armed ethnic minority groups, leading to successful offensives against the junta.
