"Russia and China are heavily backing up the Burma Army. Russia now are even in the planning phase right now and have already announced their intention to build a nuclear power plant there in Burma. China has these special economic zones and Russia is setting up a special economic zone as well where they're building these deep water ports and they're bringing in large amounts of weapons, fighter jets, massive amounts of firepower."
Ephraim Matos revealed extensive Russian and Chinese military involvement in Burma, including plans for a Russian nuclear plant and deep-water ports being constructed to give both nations ocean access. He explained this is part of a strategic effort to bypass naval choke points like the Strait of Malacca, making Burma critical to Russian and Chinese geopolitical interests. The support includes fighter jets, advanced weapons, and training of Burma Army officers in Russia.
