Myanmar's BTR-4🛡
A few days ago, on the 81st anniversary of the Myanmar Armed Forces Day🇲🇲 🪖 , this vehicle was presented to the world:
A licensed and locally modified version of the BTR-4EM.
The history of this vehicle starts in 2018, when licenses to locally produce BTR-3U’s and BTR-4E’s were acquired from Ukraine🇺🇦 . Initially, several BTR-3U’s were manufactured, but BTR-4 production was delayed because the Ukrainian technicians meant to help in its establishment left ➡️ the country for a while following the 2021 military coup.
It seems though that as of 2026, production⚙️ in one of the many state-run military factories has at least started slowly. According to pro-regime sources, three vehicles in total were produced, the same ones now seen publicly. They also claim that they seek to produce up to 10 additional models in the next five years📈 .
The vehicle itself is similar to the baseline BTR-4 variant, but uses lower-quality internal electronics⚡️ and is outfitted with a different weapon station, most likely containing either a 12.7mm or 14.5mm HMG, in addition to a 30mm automatic grenade launcher💥 and a panoramic thermal sight.
This follows the usual autarky-focused doctrine of the Tatmadaw❗️ of acquiring foreign licenses for weapons, buying💵 a small initial batch, and then modifying and often substantially simplifying 🔽 the design so it can be mass-produced locally, with predictably bad consequences when it comes to the overall quality of the system.

Before the war:
1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does
2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not
3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will
4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities
5) Inflation was declining, now increasing
....you continue. The list is inexhaustible

🇲🇲— Myanmar Junta Chief Nominated for Presidency
Myanmar's Senior General Min Aung Hlaing was nominated in the Lower House of Parliament as a candidate for vice-president on March 30, following a heavily restricted election in which pro-military parties won a landslide. Three candidates will be put forward, with one elected president; analysts consider his defeat inconceivable.
Min Aung Hlaing mounted a coup five years ago, jailing Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and triggering a civil war that has killed an estimated 90,000 people on all sides, according to Armed Conflict Location & Event Data. The election that preceded the nomination was widely condemned; parties that won 90 per cent of seats in the 2020 polls, including Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, were barred from participating after being dissolved.
A former spymaster described as Min Aung Hlaing's close associate replaced him as military chief, securing a loyal ally at the head of the armed forces. The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor is seeking Min Aung Hlaing's arrest for crimes against humanity related to the 2017 military crackdown on the Rohingya minority.

🇷🇺Russian messenger MAX, the only messenger working in Russia right now. Fun Math. 16 million downloads, over a thousand reviews, with an average of 5—even though most are 1 stars. Will they swallow it? Yes they will, and with enthusiasm
MAX has crashed in Russia. Users are complaining that messages aren't being sent and media files aren't loading.
It's too easy to paralyze all communication in the country if it's dependent on just one messenger

🇪🇺🇭🇺The EU is considering the possibility of expelling Hungary from the union if Orbán wins the election, according to Politico, citing sources
He is anti-EU anyways. Calling his two main enemies “Brussels” and “Zelensky”. Sooo…Why he, himself not leave the EU? We know the answer— who else is going to feed his zebras?

20 billion in EU funds remain frozen for Hungary due to ongoing concerns regarding rule of law, corruption, judicial independence, and human rights.
Talk is expensive.
By doubling down on rhetoric instead of doing work has left a massive hole in the national budget.
🇺🇦So if you think it's solely coming from the Ukraine problem, it's not. Ukraine in this matter is like 3rd on the list if not further.

It looks like a promising turret. Using AI, it calculates the drone’s speed and flight path, and shoots it down with a single preemptive burst.
