Myanmar's military situation: the technical dilemma of the government army under the situation of drone warfare
Tipping point: the technological game between the government army and the Kokang allies
The flames in Myanmar have not been extinguished, and the battle situation in Lao Cai is turbulent. Although the government army tried to counterattack, it frequently fell into passivity, and its trump card drones frequently hit a wall in actual combat, with little success. In contrast, the Kokang Allied Army, however, has shown its might with the civilian FTC-2000G combat trainer, which has aroused people's doubts. This paper deeply analyzes the impact of drones on the war situation, as well as the technical and strategic embarrassment of the government army, and discusses the complex game in the modern military context.
The dilemma of the government forces: the bitter aerial battle of the Su-30SME
Government forces lost four elite units in the Kokang theater, including the 12th and 16th Brigades, the 99th Division and the 101st Division. Taking advantage of the situation, the Kokang Allied Army approached Lao Cai, and the government forces not only lost their results, but also captured many officers and soldiers, and the front-line troops were short of ammunition, and many strategic points were lost, and they fell into an extremely disadvantageous situation.
In the past several battles, Su-30SME fighters have been massively used by government forces. Although this Russian-made aircraft is technologically advanced, it is powerless in the difficult terrain of northern Myanmar. Dense jungles and dense fog made the Su-30SME unable to perform to its full potential, causing government forces to pay a heavy price. The military has tried to weaken the insurgency through a bombing campaign, but with little success. As time passed, the plight faced by the government forces became more apparent.
️ The rise of drones: the clever use of FTC-2000G
However, the Kokang allies skillfully used the FTC-2000G combat trainer aircraft and showed excellent adaptability. Although this is a second-generation aircraft, due to its low cost and multi-mission performance, it has made great achievements in the use of UAVs. The FTC-2000G has become a powerful weapon with great threat and attack advantage through remote control, intelligent navigation and precision strike.
The role of drones in modern warfare is becoming increasingly prominent, especially in complex terrains such as jungles. The tactical choices of the Kokang allies show that the government forces urgently need to address their technical and strategic shortcomings. The defeat of the Burmese army in the Kokang theater was not only a military defeat, but also a profound awakening to modern military trends.
Reflections and Prospects: The Government's Army's Technological Embarrassment and Calls for Peace
The predicament of the government army lies not only in technical problems, but also in the perception of the war situation. Traditional armaments and tactics have become inadequate in modern warfare. There is an urgent need for the government army to increase investment in technology, intelligence and equipment to meet the needs of the current war. The reality is in front of us, and relying solely on military means is no longer suitable.
