(2) the BTR-3U: bought from #Ukraine in 2001/2004 and produced locally.
(3) the AML Panhard: scout car from #France. Suspected point of sale #Israel.
(4) EE-9 Cascavel - armoured car from #Brazil also sourced by #Tatmadaw from #Israel.
(5) Type 92A infantry fighting vehicle/personnel carrier, purchased from #China since late 1990s. Previously seen in #Kachin and #Shan States. Delivered by #Norinco, parent Corp of #Wanbao who owns #Letpadaung copper mine

(6) WMA-301 (PTL-02), an assault gun/tank destroyer also from #China #Norinco. First delivered in #2012 and again linked to #Wanbao and #Letpadaung
(7) millions of dollars worth of #military hardware on display in #Burmas cities. #donors in #Europe and #America need to think long and hard how their #foreignaid allows #Tatmadaw to keep buying weapons and ignore #publichealth and #education services.
