MYANMAR – A Nay Pyi Taw military source reported that the terrorist junta council is conducting lessons on drone bombing at the military service academies and provided drones and drone grenades manufactured by the junta defense industry.
Conscripted young people with a basic middle education background who show interest in drones are reportedly being trained on how to manoeuvre drones and bomb or scout using drones. Although the training is only provided in military service academies right now, the subject on drones is planned to be extended to all military training schools starting the next batch of military training.
“The drones themselves are Chinese products but the grenades were manufactured by the defense industry. Mainly, they are gathering and training those with a basic middle school education who are interested in drones. The training is not yet covered in all military academies, only those in Yangon and Shan. But I heard that it will be covered in all academies soon,” said the Nay Pyi Taw source.
It is said that although the recruits who received training in drones will be sent to the frontline, they will be mainly used in operations to scout and bomb using drones. The trainers and lectures are said to be those who previously received training in drones.
Moreover, the junta council is reported to have ordered more multi-purpose drones from China. Those are then transformed into military grade drones at the defense industry factories where there is a large continuous production of drone grenades.
