Drones Emerge as Weapons of War in Myanmar
Original: Small Flying Machines Become Weapons of War in Myanmar
Small drones are increasingly being used as weapons in Myanmar's civil war, with resistance forces and the military alike rigging flying machines to drop bombs on enemy positions. The conflict, which began after the 2021 coup, has seen improvised drone attacks become a cheap and accessible way for under-equipped groups to strike targets. Observers say the trend highlights how low-cost drone warfare is spreading to smaller conflicts worldwide.
Why now: Drone warfare is reshaping Myanmar's conflict and drawing attention as cheap drone technology spreads to smaller wars.
