YANGON DIVISION – The terrorist junta council newly established drone forces and Russian soldiers are conducting drone training at No. 5 Air Defense Force in Hpaunggyi, Yangon Division, according to military news sources.
It is said that the junta council has formed drone forces within their battalions after proclaiming to fight a technology war, that Drone Force 506 has been formed at No. 5 Air Defense Force in Hpaunggyi with personal training by Russian technology officers and that Chinese technicians are also providing assistance.
“Drones were never used widely in the military. Air defense drones can only be utilised by those who received training. Those from infantry and light infantry have no idea how to operate drones. The reason for the increased usage of drones in infantry and light infantry battalions can be assumed to be because they are joined with drone forces and those who received drone training. That technology also most likely did not come from the junta council but from China or Russia,” said CDM Captain Lin Htet Aung.
Junta national security advisor General Moe Aung was reported to have visited Russia from April 23 to 25 to attend the 12th International Meeting on Security Matters and 4th ASEAN – Russia Meeting on Security Matters (Working Breakfast) and closely studied the drones.
