We killed many … drones are our air force’: Myanmar’s rebels take on the junta from above..A rebel drone squadron drawn from engineering students and hobbyists, who gain battlefield training partly through YouTube tutorials, is proving decisive in the struggle against Myanmar’s brutal military govt. As drones flew silently over western Myanmar’s Chin hills, junta did not know what was about to hit them, operators were hidden a few hundred metres away in the dense forest. As images on their screens indicated.
The drone fleet was hovering exactly above target & hit key military base in town of Lailenpi – they then hit button on their controllers & bombs action began to fall. “We had precise hits,” said Noah, 20, one of specialist drone fighters in Chin National Army (CNA), one of the ethnic rebel groups who have fighting Myanmar’s military for almost 3-years. “It took them by surprise. We killed many, including 2nd-in-command of a base.” After 3-days fighting, rebels hoisted their tricolour flag over the base and shouted slogans of victory.
