Weapons armed groups in Myanmar have

. I think the U.S. should help the Myanmar PDFs. This is because though some have links to drug trafficking most are fighting simply to stay alive from a genocidal regime. Also if Myanmar defense groups had funding they wouldn't manufacture drugs. Also, I think the Myanmar drugs mostly go to countries that are against the U.S. So like how the Chinese government doesn't do much to stop triads and corrupt companies from giving Mexican drug cartels formulas to make fentanyl (because it destroys the U.S) Thai and possibly U.S gun smugglers helping PDF militias are counter to that. (Thai and Vietnamese gun runners are supplied through looting Vietnam war stockpiles as well as foreign gun makers via middlemen who have access to guns made in U.S./China/Russia). Though Militias in Myanmar have a very legitimate reason for fighting. (normally anti-government militias are allies) Myanmar anti government militias can sometimes fight each other and have the potential to be terrorist or criminal organizations. Also, I included pro-Junta militia pictures though info on them is scarce. More useful info here that can possibly do damage to the junta military is I found many sources of the junta or police seizing weapons from militias and recorded it. Those weapons are being given to Pyu Saw Htee militias which are pro junta and their weapon holdings are very unknown. 


 I have done more research on U.S arms sellers to Thailand are normally not smugglers. That's because they don't need to be there is plenty of legal exportation of firearms to countries neighboring Myanmar. Also, arms sales to the Thai military can go to the Myanmar militias because there are multiple incidents of Thai military members smuggling arms into Myanmar. That being said I did find a case of people trying to smuggle gun parts from America to Thailand.

America to Thailand smuggler brothers are believed to have smuggled 

- (250)  shipments of gun parts 

.45 handgun parts were seized

chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.smallarmssurvey.org/sites/default/files/resources/SAS-Trade-Update-2019.pdf<br>

for what I said about U.S smugglers 


Also, you are not going to recognize the weapons depicted and listed. Look I am not by any means a professional but it took me tons of studying charts of weapons native to Myanmar and looking at pictures to get the best guess about what these guys have. I doubt anyone is just going to figure it out on the first try. Also, some may be wrong as I learned more before, I'd just assume what some weird bomb thing was or just simply ignore it before I educated myself through free info on the internet about firearms. 


  

Myanmar militias


KNLA

Stands for the Karenni National Liberation Army. This group is one of the most well-armed groups. They are pretty well trained in fighting as guerillas and use hit-and-run tactics. This is because this armed group has been fighting the government for decades. KNU is the nonarmed government body of this group. Thus when sources say KNU seized weapons they mean KNLA

KNDF

KNDF is a newer version of Karrenni National Liberation Army or Karrenni National Army. They were founded in 2021 but were birthed by KNLA and KNA which they are allied with. My guess is they got their membership from the students who were protesting in the central area of Myanmar and the children of the mentioned organizations. Then they were trained by the KNLA and other allied groups. Hence they are kind of just the new younger generation of guerillas this is why they have subgroups, with names like Karenni Gen Z

NUG and NLA

the NLA is the armed wing of the NUG so when sources say NLA or NUG it means the same thing. NUG is the government body of the NLA

The NUG military, the NUG is more or less more of the government of the resistance fighters. Multiple smaller PDFs fall under their rule and I believe are trained by them at times. The NUG is less of an amateur militia and more of an actual governmental entity. But the NUG is an alliance of multiple PDFs working together 


2023 NUG criticized for raiding smaller PDFs known as PDG according to the article PDG defied the NUG's rules I don't know which ones. Instead of having a meeting with PDG like they normally would the NUG-affiliated, PDFs fired warning shots at PDG. PDG first responded with their own warning shots till they realized they were outgunned then they retreated or surrendered. I think the reason NUG did this was that PDG had drones (very valuable in war) and didn't have the means to defend those drones so NUG took those drones 

  • (3,000) bullets for small arms I'm guessing
