Three armed groups changed Myanmarʼs military landscape with their unexpected attack last fall. Government forces lost many key positions and now struggle to maintain control in north-east

In a game-changing move last fall three well-equipped militia groups hit Myanmarʼs north-eastern region with un-expected attack‚ that shifted long-standing power balance in the country

The strike caught Myanmar Military Forces off-guard: militia groups quick-ly took many areas — a success that made other resistance groups join the fight. Before this attack government troops seemed un-touchable with their huge army (supported by both Russia and China)

Todayʼs situation shows major changes: Myanmarʼs Military Command lost many key spots including important bases cities and check-points. Top army leaders dont hide that getting these positions back would be super-hard; their control is getting weaker day-by-day
