UPDATE: The Kachin state that the aircraft shot down was an FTC-2000G fighter trainer. Photographs of the crash seem to confirm this.

This is not the first time they shot down fighter jets and helicopters. At least 1 helicopter has been shot down before the coup and 1 after the coup. They've been shot down 4 in total. You said FN-6 but there is no clear statement to proof. Yes, may be or not. They do have FN-6 to protect junta force's airstrikes. But in these cases may be they've used .5 anti-aircraft guns. These weapons are common in myanmar ethnic revolution organizations. The only one who will use FN-6 widely is may be WUSA Army. But there is no clashes between UWSA and junta forces.

@@koko_441 Kachin sources personally confirmed to me that an FN-6 was used in the helicopter shoot down. But the FTC-2000G is, as far as I am aware, has not be revealed at this time. Perhaps even engine failure?

[@koko_441]

@@EdNashsMilitaryMatters Yes, may be i'm not sure. But the jet fell down from the sky without much smoke. I don't think that is an engine failure. The jet might be got some damage from the ground shooting.

Thanks Ed The Myanmar Conflict does not get enough coverage

[@josephhacker5358]

Thanks for covering what not many others are willing to cover.

[@johnladuke6475]

As usual, no word of this in the news, but Ed keeps us informed. Thanks for covering this conflict when other sources sadly just can't be bothered.

I did not even know about this war. Thank you for opening my eyes.

KIA? That's an unfortunate acronym right there

[@somaelselino7627]

Yet their operations are very successful

[@tomlobos2871]

nice someone is still observing this. in long term, the region is of china's intrest. one could sideline china sea routes if that becomes a conflict zone.

[@predragdjuric-tt9uc]

a great and very interesting video as always Mr Ed.have a good one.

[@kevinoliver3083]

KIA is an unfortunate acronym for a combatant force.

Thankyou Ed.

So we now know it was a ftc 2000g from the wreckage

[@EdNashsMilitaryMatters]

Yes, got confirmation last night but was too tired to post anything. Have added a pinned comment.

[@chriskortan1530]

Chinese weapons? Perhaps China is hedging their bets over which side will protect and allow expansion of their port/pipeline plans.

[@skeletonwguitar4383]

Or just pure business transactional purposes: you got money? Okay, you can have this, maybe a black market kind of deal

[@lasskinn474]

the weapons origin could be whatever but nearly every bordering country has officers who could be coaxed to sell some for gold and jade.

[@jerryle379]

​@@skeletonwguitar4383the group that attacking the junta are long time china back rebel group , like the origin commenter guy say , the Chinese unleash they puppet to secure the oil/gas line and port , even if junta lost and pdf win , good luck taking back those lost territory the Chinese back rebel control. This is quite bad for ASEAN , as the Chinese can play this card again in other country in the future.

[@DefaultProphet]

Wow KIA needs to chill out and make better cars before they start an anti-aircraft business

[@michaelfrench3396]

Good lord, you can't even say shot? Or is that just an abundance of caution so that RUclips doesn't demonetize this video and isn't shot at in a military video acceptable?

[@nian60]

RUclips demonetises videos for certain words.

[@karlbrundage7472]

So, the only time in the last 70 years that "Myanmar" has been at peace was when the British Empire ran the place.
Curious.................

I don’t know enough about the region to know which side China prefers, but surely China must be considering intervention in the region soon? They’ve invested billions in infra projects there

[@EdNashsMilitaryMatters]

The Chinese are essentially backing anyone who can afford their products and will protect their investments. I'll admit this is a massive simplification, but essentially true.

[@jerryle379]

The 3 rebel Alliance are made up by china back group ( more like puppet ) they current unleash them to secure the oil/gas pipeline and sea port.

Where do you think the Ukrainian weapons have been going to destabilise chinas friend

Fact free nonsense & Kremlin propaganda.

You do realize that this was do with a Chinese manpads right?

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

@@terrynewsome6698 these weapons could been stolen from the arsenal, or smuggled by corrupt military, corruption is very common in Chinese armed forces.
