Fwd from @ 📝River corridor to besieged Banmaw📝 The loss of land routes did not spell doom for the government garrison. The main water artery of Myanmar came to its aid — the Irrawaddy River. For almost two years, the "Kachin Independence Army" has besieged the city of Banmaw — a strategically important hub in the south of Kachin State. After the closure of land supply routes, the river remained the only channel through which Myanmar's Armed Forces could deliver reinforcements, ammunition and food to the city. However, each river convoy dispatch is a complex operation. Kachin fighters wait for government forces in ambushes along the banks, shelling vessels and attacking them with drones. As a result, the flotilla inevitably suffers losses. How Myanmar's Armed Forces organized the supply of the besieged garrison by river and what difficulties such missions entail — watch in our new video. 📍@rybar_tactical 💸Support us Original msg
