Naypyidaw sends delegation to Russia for Victory Day and drones

Naypyidaw sent a delegation to Russia on Wednesday to participate in a military parade for the 80th anniversary of Victory Day in Moscow, regime media reported. Sources close to the regime told DVB that the delegation was also tasked with purchasing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, from Russia.

Sources added that Myo Sett Aung, the leader of the delegation, bought at least 100 UAVs in Russia last month. These drones have been reportedly deployed to regime outposts in northern Shan State, southern Shan State, Karenni State, Bago Region, and the Northwestern Regional Military Command (RMC) in the Sagaing Region capital Monywa.
