In Myanmar's ongoing civil war, armed groups initially gained an advantage in drone warfare but are now losing ground to the military regime. Experts report that the military's rapid improvements in drone technology and access to resources from China are closing the gap. Resistance fighters have utilized commercial drones and adapted them for combat, gaining earlier successes. However, the military's financial resources significantly surpass those of resistance groups, compromising their ability to compete, particularly as the military is expected to achieve a clear advantage by 2025.
Resistance groups initially took a lead in drone warfare through the enthusiasm and skills of young digital natives, leveraging resources like YouTube tutorials and 3D printing.
Despite early advantages in drone warfare, resistance forces are struggling to keep pace with Myanmar's military, which has access to extensive financial resources from China.
