Rebels in both regions captured Soviet-era, [Ukrainian](https://www.reddit.com/r/Myanmarcombatfootage/comments/1ef0kst/btr3u_captured_again_posted_by_bpla/), and [Chinese ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Myanmarcombatfootage/comments/1m115re/what_looks_like_maybe_kachin_independence_army/)APCs/IFVs from the junta in past operations (so the PKTs were taken off those). The Kachin Independence Army and United Wa State Army (based in Shan State) make clones of Chinese weapons including the Type 81.
