i was in myanmar before. its such an unhappy, dirt-poor country!
but obviously rich in resources… hard to see this fighting, however the rebels are getting stronger and stronger, and i hope their alliance can lead the country into a safe and better future soon!!!
How does a Chinese Manpad surface there? The Junta doesn’t really need one as the KIA will not have Airpower, so the KIA wouldn’t be able to capture one as there will be a general abundance of this type of weapon.
I’m completely uneducated on this conflict and would like to have some insight on the dynamics there. Does China support the KIA?
