The Myanmar military junta is reportedly intensifying drone technology training at Basic Military Training Unit No. (3), based in Yamethin, in an effort to counter the increasing effectiveness of drone capabilities employed by revolutionary forces. According to the Myanmar Defense and Security Institute, the training includes ongoing hands-on courses in the use of various drone types, including micro reconnaissance drones.
The drones being used in the training are reported to include Chinese and Russian-made reconnaissance drones, attack drones, and micro drones small enough to fit in a clenched fist.
“In Base No. 3, they’ve purchased a wide variety of Chinese and Russian-made drones and are conducting training sessions. These include reconnaissance drones and a range of attack drone types. Among the reconnaissance drones, there are also micro drones small enough to be held in a fist,” said a military source.
Trainees reportedly undergo practical drone operation during the day and theoretical classroom sessions at night, as part of a structured training program.
Drone types being used in the training include DJI and Autel reconnaissance drones, VTOL fixed-wing UAVs, quadcopter and hexacopter attack drones, and Delta Wing suicide drones. Training is being conducted daily with around 200 instructors and trainees, and candidates with a basic technical background from military training programs are being specially selected to participate.
Graduates of the training are reportedly organized into drone units and deployed to combat zones and to reinforce operations with the Tatmadaw (military) and SAC (State Administration Council).
Sources confirmed that senior military officers from the central command are personally overseeing and supervising the training activities on a daily basis.

Yay Yint Khant Nyar, who was abducted in a forced conscription operation by junta forces in Pyigyitagon Township, Mandalay Region, has reportedly defected to the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) after paying a ransom of 15 million kyats (MMK) but was still forced into unlawful military service.
According to Yay Yint Khant Nyar, who has now reached the KNLA, he and three of his friends were detained by junta troops while walking on the street. They were then taken to the Kyaukmeethe Coal Camp, and the junta demanded a payment of MMK 15 million in exchange for their release.
Although the payment was made, the detainees were not released, but instead transferred at night to a recruitment camp in Pyin Oo Lwin. From there, they were sent to a military training school in Bago, he reported.
Yay Yint Khant Nyar was assigned to the Aung Zeya Military Column under Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 117, under Division 55, and later escaped from the military and defected to the KNLA.
He stated that inside the junta army, he witnessed abuse of power by superiors, forced labor, and coercive treatment, prompting his escape.
