Nine minutes of combat footage recorded by Anti-Junta fighters conducting an ambush against a military convoy carrying supplies near Myaing in the Sagaing Region of Myanmar.

The wild thing about footage like this is just trying to keep track of the weapon systems in use throughout the video. On top of that, you can also count the number of guys in flip flops and soccer themed sports jerseys as well. You're looking at a true insurgency made up of guerilla forces who believe that they are right and that are willing to die for that belief.

It's worth noting that in almost all Anti-Junta footage you see, there's going to be a lot of guys carrying cameras. In some of their footage it's almost absurd how many cameras are seen running around the battlefield. The reason for this is that the Anti-Junta forces are entirely crowd funded. Their entire operation is based off of gathering support from people outside of Myanmar who have a direct interest in seeing Anti-Junta forces retake control from the Military.

As a result of this crowd funding, cameras are omni-present in almost Hunger Games fashion. It's like they're hoping that more sponsors will see their footage and send them guns and ammunition to continue fighting. Scratch that, it's not like they're hoping for more sponsors. They actually are.
