Gopro video released by an Anti-Junta faction conducting guerilla operations in Myanmar captures an extremely chaotic ambush being carried out against a military convoy near Myaing, in the Magway Region.

The interesting thing about this video, outside of trying to figure out exactly what's going on due to the general chaos of the actions observed, is that these guys seem far better armed than the normal Anti-Junta units. Intermixed with them however are average looking Anti-Junta fighters in regular civilian clothing with the normal armament that we expect to see with this group.

I wonder if they're starting to field guys with professional training from some of the volunteers in the Myanmar region by mixing them in with the barely trained guerillas. It will definitely be interesting to see what combat looks like in this region six months to a year from now if that's the case. Good training tends to spread like wildfire. The guys who know don't usually keep that knowledge and training to themselves, because they know that having better trained peers equates to having a longer life-span in a gunfight.
