part of the successful completion of the exercise.
Speaking on
the occasion, Lt-Gen Nosulev Mikhail Yakovlevich expressed his firm belief that
the joint training activities between the Myanmar and Russian armies will
continue to become stronger in the future, while also serving as mutually
beneficial partnerships and creating new opportunities to further enhance
relations between our two countries.
In his
speech, General Ye Win Oo stated that along with the combat operations, they
also had the opportunity to observe the rapid and timely evacuation and
transportation of injured personnel from the operational area using unmanned
robotic ambulances, which were deployed to rescue wounded troops from dangerous
combat zones under enemy fire.

that they were able to study and observe the capabilities and combat employment
of drones and FPV systems, which are features of modern warfare and can be
effectively used on contemporary battlefields to inflict significant losses on
enemy forces.
He stated
that the friendship and cordial relations between Myanmar and the Russian
Federation have continued to develop and strengthen over many years up to the
present. The relations between the two countries have been cherished, nurtured,
and maintained with close and warm ties to this day. Bilateral military
cooperation between the two countries has also been progressing annually, with

officers taking place regularly.
The exercise
was the first-ever joint exercise conducted between the Myanmar and Russian
