During the fighting in Rakhine State, the AA Army was able to shoot down a military council helicopter. AA released a photo of AA soldiers taken from a helicopter that crashed somewhere in the jungle. It is known that the AA was able to shoot down that helicopter during the battles in the Paletwa region. Therefore, the AA Army from Rakhine became one of the groups that could shoot down the warplanes and helicopters of the Air Force of the Military Council.
In fact, 2024 can be said to be a fateful year for the Military Council Air Force. At the beginning of this year, about five Air Force helicopters crashed or were destroyed. On January 3, a helicopter in Kachin State. And a fighter plane in Nampheka, North Shan. A plane that was going to pick up the fleeing rebels in India was broken into three pieces. Just recently, a VIP helicopter was shot down in Karen State. Now AA has dropped a plane. If we add the number of planes that were shot down during the Spring Revolution, the military council has lost more than 10 planes.
