The Myanmar People’s Determination to Win Has Begun to Bear Fruit...Myanmar is in uncharted territory: The country has been in a state of war for almost three years—a war between an illegitimate regime and a defiant people. The nation is bloodied every day, the people are in a state of anguish and the regime is more brutal than ever. It is also, however, the worst time the aggressive junta and its military has experienced since the coup.
Viewed as an “indispensable” institution or “all powerful” military by neighboring countries, their leaders and even some parts of the Western world, despite its long and ugly history of gross human rights violations and cruelties against the country’s entire folks population, the Myanmar military has now been exposed, both internally and on the battlefield, as a demoralized and broken institution.
This is what we have witnessed over past two months since Oct. 27, when the Brotherhood Alliance, made up of Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and Arakan Army (AA), launched its first coordinated military offensive, Operation 1027, against junta forces in northern Shan State bordering China.
Twenty-three towns and more than 400 junta military bases and outposts have been seized by the Brotherhood Alliance and their allied resistance armies including the Karenni National Defense Force and Chin National Front in Shan, Karenni (Kayah), Chin, Rakhine and Kachin states as well as Sagaing and Magwe regions. it can’t be hailed as a “triumph” over the junta the defeats show how wrong universal, traditional view, held by both analysts & the public, of the Myanmar military.
They have exposed weakness of“all powerful” military, though its troops are equipped with tanks, artillery, bigger weapons & jet fighters, Its soldiers, even though they outgun resistance fighters, have defeated hundreds of soldiers, including officers, have surrendered to resistance forces without even fighting back.
This has indicated how demoralized junta troops are and how breakable military as a whole.
