(Asien) Streitkräfte von Myanmar

[Schneemann]

Im schwelende Bürgerkrieg in Myanmar zwischen der People's Defence Force, der Chinland Defense Force u. a. und dem Militärregime wurde wohl ein Militär-Helikopter abgeschossen unter Zuhilfenahme einer FPV-Drohne - eine Taktik, die im Ukrainekrieg aufkam.

Mi-17 Appears To Have Been Downed By FPV Drone In Myanmar [...]

Rebels fighting Myanmar’s junta say they used a first-person view (FPV) drone to down an Mi-17 Hip transport helicopter attempting to land with supplies. The government, however, claims the helicopter crashed due to mechanical failure. Regardless, the claimed attack is nothing out of the realm of possibility. There are rapidly evolving threats to helicopters in combat zones, including from lower-end drones, raising concerns about degradation in their utility on future battlefields.

Video emerged on social media showing the video feed of what purports to be an FPV drone operated by the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) careening toward the helicopter, which was hovering just a few feet off the ground at the time. The video cuts off as the FPV drone gets right next to the helicopter’s rotor blades. The video then shows a different angle of what appears to be a small explosion amongst the Mi-17’s rotors. The helicopter reportedly later crashed a short distance away, killing everyone on board.
