BBC News - Our World, Myanmar's War in the Air

BBC's Asia editor Rebecca Henschke follows those in Myanmar fighting back.

With the Myanmar military strategy turning increasingly to the air with devastating consequences, BBC's Asia editor Rebecca Henschke follows those fighting back.

Russia is supplying the Myanmar military with advanced fighter jets and training their pilots how to use them in a war against their own people. More than two years on from the coup, the country's military is facing a countrywide armed uprising and their troops are struggling to hold ground and recruit foot soldiers. So, the strategy is turning increasingly to the air with devastating consequences. BBC's Asia editor Rebecca Henschke follows those fighting back on the ground and in the air. And she meets defectors from the air force who give exclusive insight into the strategy and psychology behind those operating these deadly machines.
