[Myanmar/Burma] Dawei Defense Team (DDT) Rebel video showing weapons and armor purchased in September 2024 with 791,450 Thai baht

Weapons range from a Mosin-Nagant and a High Standard Model 10 Shotgun to Ppsh-41s and Type 63s.

The mosin is never going to get to retire at this rate is it?

I'm surprised we don't see more SKS rifles instead of type 63s. Stripper clips would make sense so they didn't have to worry about magazines as much.

There are SKSs used in places like Sagaing, Mon State and Karen State. Shan State makes sense since it borders China
I am still puzzled into how groups like DDT get so much Type 63s, though. Tanintharyi is close to Thailand and Malaysia, not China. The only reasonable answers I could come up with were that the Type 63s were leftovers from the Communist insurgencies in those countries.

I hope that armor is decent, it definitely gives Temu vibes. Cool assortment of rifles though

Strike Face is pretty much Temu armor. Apparently it's one of the more decent variants (or so I've heard anyway).
Speaking of, Myanmar rebels also use Yakeda vests. Yakeda is another brand of armor that is sold on Aliexpress, but the company has a factory in Yangon/Rangoon.

The money was acquired from diaspora donations and lotteries.
