Myanmar's top military brass threw a big ceremony at Nay Pyi Taw Airbase for the 78th birthday of their air force. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing gave a speech talking up how the branch got started back in 1947 and has been running counterinsurgency ops and drug busts ever since. He said building a strong defense setup across the army, navy, and air units matters for keeping the country intact, and the state keeps pumping helicopters and gear into the force.
The general made a point about teamwork being the real deal because skilled pilots mean nothing if the engineers and support crew can't handle their end. They ran through some serious flight demos with MiG-29s, Su-30s, and a bunch of helicopters doing different formations, plus some high-performance stunts with flares going off. Min Aung Hlaing handed out cash to the pilots who showed off their skills, and a crowd of officials and their wives watched the whole thing go down.
