High-impact ‘drop bombs’ retaking the sky from Myanmar junta • FRANCE 24 English
For K spe e Doe
Four kilometres away from a Myanmar military position pro-democracy fighters load up their latest offering to the battle for the skies — a six kilogramme “drop bomb.” Bombs delivered by modified commercial drones are becoming an essential weapon in the arsenal of pro-democracy fighters seeking to topple the junta that seized power in 2021.

Hmm. Opposition apparently has western support. France was kicked out of Indochina, that tells.
The future of warfare is here, drones.
be safe pdf🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's funny how this report names which countries made the Junta's aircraft (Russia and China) but does not name who likely made the drones being used, and since those look like commercially available drones, the vast majority would come from China. Not that one can expect more from a French channel.
Laban!!!
The so call rebels are fighting the junta with money from illegally drug money.
Air strike vs drone strike
Junta is scared 😂
These are rebels? They look better geared up that many small militaries. Camo, plate carriers even
Thanks for news
i wonder who supplied them with those bombs and drones. Hmm…
Is that baba Yaga?
lol western news' coverage on Myanmar is so detached from reality. it's actually the chinese minority army that are fighting the juntas and why the myanmar juntas is losing right now. but that doesn't fit into the western narrative so instead of talking about the group that is actually making a different – the west talks about the 'pro-democracy- faction as if they had any relevance…. but i totally understand the reasoning behind western news not telling the truth because if it's the chinese minority army fighting the maynmar juntas and we as the west have been painting the myanmar juntas as the bad guys…. then wouldn't that make the chinese minority be the good guy? oh the confusions that will make…… let's just paint a different narrative.
Commander in Chief look really young 😆
Pro democracy = western backed
People fighting for democracy as Rupert Murdoch and hordes of fascist cavemen try tear it down in the west.
Myanmar chin kuki mizo illegal refugees has become a major threat to Indian demography.
Um, please don’t all gather around the drone as it takes off. The round is hot and anything can happen. Be safe as you take over your country.
👍👍👍💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Another example of the cost effective power of asymmetric warfare.
Look at those crisp uniforms, clean patches, $15k drones and camera ready faces. These guys have some serious funding behind them.
Frauds are english and western rulers.
Purely double tongued people.
One side encourage butchers, another side shedding tears for sheeps.
Don’t even try with hammus 😂
Amazing …this innovative but low cost & high intensity Solution, turns Normal Military Doctrine…On it's Head …🤔✊
Goal was similar for both the rebels and army before the Chinese entry.
China is supporting military for a communist take over and west for their dominance and democracy.
freedom fighters..? terrorists..?
Myanmar is in the midst of a bloody proxy war, with extreme ethnic violence and waves of terrorism. Calling any side "pro-democracy" is disingenuous to say the least. Also, there are over a dozen armed groups vying for control, it's not a 2 sided war.
Colonizer Country Reporting on Foreign "Pro-Democracy Fighters" eaaaughhhh
They're not fighting against the Myanmar military, they're fighting against the junta forces. They WERE the Myanmar military, but ceased to be the Myanmar military when they decided to do their coup. The government now has new military forces, and they're trying to take back the country from the junta forces.
I remember sun sue was meant to be a great leader and she ended up being a monster who used ethnic cleansing against the rohinga. These so called freedom fighters will probably be worse than the junta if the get power.😢
