Myanmar Uses Motorized Paragliders to Bomb Rebels

From the BBC: "At least 24 killed as army paraglider bombs Myanmar Buddhist festival." This is part of an ongoing civil war in Myanmar. The part that caught my attention is that the military led government used a paraglider to carry out the attack. The article very briefly explains:

     In a statement on Tuesday, Amnesty International said that the junta's use of motorised paragliders to attack communities was part of a "disturbing trend".

    BBC Burmese recently reported that the junta were increasingly opting for paramotors amid a lack of aircraft and helicopters, as well as jet fuel.

    International sanctions over the past few years have made it harder for Myanmar's rulers to procure military equipment - though the recent influx of technology from countries like China and Russia seems to have helped turned the tide.
