A new report by Conflict Armament Research reveals Myanmar’s military junta is using drones equipped with European-developed, Chinese-made anti-jamming technology to target rebel groups and civilians. The drones, found in conflict zones like Kayah State, contain advanced navigation systems. Rights groups are calling for stronger, more consistent EU sanctions, saying current restrictions are insufficient. Despite embargoes since the 1990s, components still reach Myanmar via indirect routes. No unethical conduct was found from suppliers, but calls grow to cut off the junta's access to money, weapons, and fuel.
