"The generals also appear to have adopted Russia's so-called meat assaults tactics—waves of infantry thrown at enemy defensive lines with little regard for casualties."
"Nationwide conscription, introduced in 2024, has reportedly swollen Myanmar's army ranks by nearly 100,000 soldiers, providing the human cannon fodder such tactics demand."
"Myanmar's military chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, watches Russian honour guards passing by during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin Wall in central Moscow."

The impact on civilian areas has been severe, with reports of attacks on schools and hospitals.
