Recently, most of the world's attention has focused on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the situation in northern Myanmar seems to have eased. However, recently, the conflict in northern Myanmar has escalated again, and fierce confrontations have broken out again in the Kokang region. This time, the Myanmar ** army may usher in a new situation, because they have received "strong reinforcements" from Russia.
The situation has been deteriorating since the outbreak of the civil war in Myanmar. Although the two sides reached a brief ceasefire a few days ago, the Burmese ** army took the initiative to withdraw from border ports such as Yanglong Village, only to be occupied by the Kokang Allied forces. The Myanmar ** army itself is struggling, and now it is even worse.
On December 18, local time, the Kokang area suddenly opened fire, and that night, the Burmese ** army directly dispatched a large number of fighters to bomb the allied forces fiercely, and the fierce fighting lasted until the next day. The next day, the situation heated up again, and the fierce fighting between the two sides intensified. Although the two sides have not disclosed the results of the situation now, the outside world speculates that the ** army may have recaptured Yanglongzhai and other places, and the two sides are about to negotiate. The Burmese ** army quickly attacked at this time, probably to increase its bargaining chips at the negotiating table, or it may be because of Russia's "strong reinforcement" to improve the morale of the Myanmar ** army.
Just a few days ago, at the ceremony to celebrate the 76th anniversary of the Myanmar National Defense Forces, the Myanmar Air Force Base also held an equipment induction ceremony to warmly welcome two Su-30SME fighter jets from Russia. These 2 fighters are not being delivered now, they should have been delivered in September. However, it took some time to train the personnel after delivery, and it has been delayed until now. At present, the Myanmar ** army already has 4 Su-30SME fighters, which has greatly boosted the morale of the Myanmar army. The leaders of the Myanmar military personally attended the ceremony of the fighter jets, which shows that they have high hopes for Russian fighters.
The Su-30SME fighter is currently the most suitable fighter in the Myanmar Air Force to carry out the task of striking in mountains and forests, which is undoubtedly a major benefit to the Myanmar Army. However, although the Myanmar ** army has Su-30SME fighters, the number is very small, only 4. Such a number is obviously a drop in the bucket for reversing the plight of the Myanmar ** army.
In the face of the armed forces joined together in northern Myanmar, the Myanmar ** army has felt powerless. Despite the assistance from Russia, the amount of assistance is not optimistic and will not be able to change the situation in a short time. If the Myanmar ** army wants to truly change the current predicament, it needs more support and efforts. And the final outcome of this conflict will also need time to be revealed.
