The Myanmar Junta is having a hard time consolidating power in a land that fundamentally rejects them. The many groups opposing them have been effectively using drones to neutralize much of the military advantage a state typically has over non-governmental factions. In response, the Junta’s top cop, Lt-General Ni Lin Aung, is calling on the world to prevent “terrorist groups” from getting access to drones.
He wants to create regional and bilateral oversight groups to create laws and take enforcement action to prevent “terrorist groups” from getting drones. The move is intended to put a righteous face to states cooperating to assure no one but the governments have access to drones that could be effectively used to resist their tyrannical actions.
From irrawaddy.com:
Regime military targets are being hit by drone strikes because resistance groups have learned how to bypass drone jammers.
On September 15, a video released by joint resistance groups showed their makeshift remote-controlled winged drone dropping two improvised bombs on aircraft hangars at Aye Lar military air base next to Naypyitaw International Airport, near the regime’s administrative capital.
Although no details of damage or casualties caused by the Naypyitaw drone strikes were released, Myanmar netizens praised the group’s ability to evade jamming equipment at the airbase to successfully conduct a drone strike…
Many types of commercial drones have been used widely and effectively by resistance groups and allied ethnic armed organizations nationwide to bomb regime targets and surveillance operations.
Resistance groups are increasingly conducting aerial bombardments on regime targets by producing more improvised fixed-wing drones on their own.
The rise of the drones will lead to the rise of common-sense drone control laws across the world, with even the U.S. being vulnerable to draconian drone control laws as the 2nd Amendment doesn’t cover drones, at least on its face.
This writer saw this coming years ago. Last year, I covered this looming threat to our liberty:
The new battle for the right to self-defense might not involve guns at all, at least not directly. The new threat to central control is the rising efficiency of the drone. From battlefields across the Mideast and North Africa, to the recent battles over the skies of Ukraine, drones are becoming disruptors of organized power, as Russian columns in Ukraine can readily affirm.
Here in America, the current spokesperson of central control known as Joe Biden is recognizing that threat to the potential for tyranny to control the unwilling. The administration is looking to find out the current legal justifications to clamp down on drone use in the United States. Get ready, the battle for drone possession and manufacturing by private citizens is soon to come, if it’s not already here.
