US National, Ukrainians Chose Mizoram as 'Low-Risk Gateway' to Train Myanmar Rebels
•US national Matthew VanDyke and Ukrainian veterans deliberately picked Mizoram for strategic access to Myanmar rebel groups.
•Mizoram offered the "smartest, lowest-risk, and most direct" access to Myanmar's Chin State, sharing a 510-km porous border.
•The group intended to train rebel fighters in modern warfare techniques, including drone operations, electronic jamming, and precision strikes.
•This is not a classic anti-India terror plot, but concerns exist about strengthening Myanmar insurgents exacerbating instability in India's Northeast.
•VanDyke, a veteran of multiple global conflicts, aimed to replicate Ukraine's "drone warfare edge" for Myanmar's Ethnic Armed Groups.
