On February 7, 2022, Sayar San, a civilian resistance armed force in Inmabin Town, Sagaing Province, Myanmar, released a set of images showing the specially produced Mytel.. MM mortar, and said that after the successful trial production of this mortar, it will be mass-produced and used in combat against the Burmese army.
Northwestern Myanmar is one of the most active areas of civilian resistance, so the Burmese army not only carried out military operations code-named "Anuradha" in the area, but also used the infamous "four breaks" strategy. Due to the obstruction of the source of standard weapons and the shortage of related raw materials, the civil resistance forces had to use local materials to make a variety of brain-opening weapons, and Sayar San started the Mytel signal tower in the Mabin People's Defense Army.
Mytel is one of the four major telecom operators in Myanmar, a joint venture between the Myanmar military and the Vietnamese military, and the son of The Commander-in-Chief of the Burmese Army, Min Aung Nga Nhat, is the majority shareholder of Mytel. With the declaration of a state of emergency in Myanmar by the Government of National Unity (NUG) on September 7 last year, civilian resistance forces everywhere have begun to operate against the Burmese army, with those with strength competing with the Burmese army on the battlefield, while those lacking strength have attacked burmese army-related industries, so the Mytel signal towers scattered everywhere have become key targets.
In order to prevent economic interests from continuing to suffer, the Burmese army not only sent troops to guard some vulnerable Mytel signal towers, and even planted mines around some mytel signal towers, but also condemned the destruction of basic communication facilities by "terrorists" in public opinion, but avoided the topic of why other telecom operators were not targeted. Usually, if the Mytel signal tower is blasted or burned, the Burmese army will quickly send personnel to the scene to deal with it, but as the Burmese army gradually loses control of the rural areas in northwestern Myanmar, the Burmese troops stationed in the urban area are even worried about leaving the camp for ambush, let alone going out of the city to check the damaged Mytel signal tower, so the civilian resistance forces can calmly transport the materials of the Mytel signal tower by car.
Sayar San, in the Mabin People's Defense Army, has also made land mines and earthen shells from the material of the Mytel signal tower before, and now the mortar is not easy to blow up, but this weapon made of raw materials for the burmese high-ranking official industry is used to attack ordinary soldiers guarding the high-ranking burmese army industry, even if it does not have much power, but it is very positive if it can wake up some people.
