Myanmar Army Deploys Chinese Drones to Monitor Protestors: China is supporting him in the brutality of Myanmar’s military government. The army here has killed at least 700 people and now China’s drones are being used to monitor the protesters. This information has been given in the report of British Military Intelligence Publication Jane’s International Defense Review. Photos of social media have been cited in the report. In these pictures, drones were seen on the city of Mandalay in the month of March. Where people were demonstrating against the coup.
According to the report, two types of drones were seen flying at low altitude in the photographs and their voices were also heard by the people of Mandalay. Mandalay is the second largest city of Myanmar. One of these is the CH-3A drone, developed by China’s government defense contractor China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). It is believed that China gave 10 to 12 CH-3A drones to Myanmar from the year 2013 to 2015. Which are used by the Air Force of this country.
What are the advantages of a CH-3A drone?
The report states that the CH-3A drone is commonly used for air surveillance, taking photographs and collecting data, which helps the army to work on plans. This makes it easy for him to take decisions and also makes it easy to campaign against any rebel group or terrorists. The report said, ‘There is a possibility that the drone was used to know the ground reality in Mandalay. So that it also knows what people are doing and how much force is needed to control them. Another objective of deploying drones was to scare people.
Features of CH-3A Drone
Talking about CH-3A drone, CH means Kehong drone, which means rainbow in Chinese language. Its maximum weight is 650 kg and its wingspan is 8 meters. While its payload capacity is 180 kg. It can also work by staying at 19,685 for 12 hours. However, its range on optical operating altitude ranges from 9,842–16,404 feet. China is fast emerging as a country supplying arms. It has been said in the research papers that ever since China started exporting armed drones, the competition to use drones has increased more in non-democracy countries than in democratized countries.
