Drone watches junta troops get smoke checked

This footage represents a comparative rarity among videos of the Myanmar/Burmese Civil War, in that rather than being primarily selfies or close-ups of the PDF doing the shooting, it shows Junta troops being shot and killed. Furthermore, while drone footage is ubiquitous in other conflicts, drone usage for observation purposes is much more infrequently published in Myanmar/Burma. This is allegedly a pair of pro-Government troops who were caught straggling as their main body fell back in Wetlet Township. Having encountered a malfunction with his rifle, a soldier and his partner make the dubious decision to stay right on the path and throw a grenade. Only after being shot does one of them make the smarter decision to roll into the cover and concealment of the paddy, although it probably availed him little at that point. Viewer discretion is advised.
