Weapons factories keeping regime in power, states analysts

After suffering consecutive defeats on the battlefield against resistance forces, the regime has targeted civilians in resistance-controlled areas of Myanmar with airstrikes and artillery shells, referred to as “scorched earth” tactics by Human Rights Watch in its 2025 World Report. The Directorate of Defence Industries (DDI), known in Burmese as KaPaSa, is possibly prolonging the regime’s grip on power.


“As long as the military controls the ports and transport routes connecting Yangon River to Magway and [weapons] factories, as well as Meiktila and Taungoo airbases, they can still just hold on. They won’t be able to win the war just with airstrikes. But they could clutch to the centre for quite some time,” said David Mathieson, an analyst on human rights and conflict in Myanmar.
