Local PDF groups are competing to claim that they shot down the plane that crashed yesterday. In fact, the plane was not shot down, but rather crashed due to mechanical failure. The plane that crashed was confirmed to be an outdated Chinese-made F7. The military has been using these planes since the 1990s, so they are now over 35 years old. They have a high probability of crashing on their own if they are not shot down. In addition, there is no good anti-aircraft weaponry in a region like Sagaing Region. The anti-aircraft weapons that were said to be needed in the past few days have not arrived so quickly. Whether they are shot down or crashed here, the most important thing is to destroy one of the military council’s planes, right?
