The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has attracted international attention, but the civil war in our next-door neighbor is also very lively, just in time for us to crack down on the border wire fraud activities, so that the armed forces in northern Myanmar have found an opportunity to flip the table and shuffle the cards. The Three Brothers of Northern Myanmar alliance said it had captured 422 strongholds and seven towns from the Tatmadaw since Operation 1027 began.
Although the parties to the conflict in Myanmar have temporarily ceased fire last week through Chinese mediation, it has not prevented the alliance of the three brothers in northern Myanmar from seizing a stronghold from the Myanmar military and reaffirming the defeat of the army.
A spokesman for the Burmese army, Maj. Gen. Zormin Tun, also said that fighting was still going on around Nansan.
It is said that when each press conference lasts less than six hours, he can talk aimlessly about books, songs and poems, and movies, and is valued by Min Aung Hlaing for his rare ability.
Due to the defeat on the ground battlefield, the Burmese army adjusted from a ground offensive to a strategy of relying on the air force to bomb its opponents, and demanded that all aircraft be put into battle.
As a result, the Air Force reactivated the aging A-5 attack aircraft for bombing missions.
In the 90s of the last century, Myanmar purchased 36 Qiang-5C ground attack aircraft produced in Nanchang from China, and F-7 (Jian-7) fighters and MiG-29 fighters, known as the three musketeers of the Myanmar army.
When it comes to Qiangwu, post-80s military fans will have a common memory: Qiangwu was the most handsome domestic fighter at that time!The J-5, mass-produced in 1968, adopted a redesigned front fuselage on the basis of the J-6, replacing the nose air intake with two side air intakes. Its fuselage has been lengthened by 25% to add an internal bomb bay, and an area-rate design is used to reduce supersonic drag. Qiangwu is specifically responsible for ground-to-sea attacks, and has developed a nuclear attack type of air-dropped Hurricane-1 hydrogen bomb, which can be said to be a fist force for ground attack at that time, and is exported to North Korea, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sudan, Myanmar and other countries.
After more than three decades of use, most of the Qiang-5 attack aircraft purchased by the Burmese army have been decommissioned, and only three A-5 attack aircraft are in service at the Dau airbase in Mandalay, led by Lieutenant Colonel Yau, commander of the 64th Combat Air Group.
The Burmese Air Force is full of confidence looking forward to the return of the Qiang-5, one of the "Three Musketeers", but the Qiang-5 is old and poorly maintained, and the Myanmar Air Force pilots are not well trained, and the results can be imagined.
Recently, a Myanmar Air Force J-5 attack aircraft was hit during a mission, according to the northern Burmese alliance, the flight altitude is very low, they used an ordinary heavy aircraft ** to shoot down this J-5 attack aircraft. This statement is not groundless, the performance of the early purchase of attack aircraft has lagged behind, does not have the ability to deliver precision guidance, and the flight altitude is very low in close ground support, in order to ensure the accuracy of delivery, and the strike effect can be observed, which increases the risk of being lightly shot on the ground.
It is reported that one J-5C was hit by a portable anti-aircraft missile launched from the ground by the Allied forces in northern Myanmar, and its wings and tail were damaged, but the J-5C was thick and durable, and the Burmese pilots controlled and piloted it to land safely at the base, and it is still in normal use.
