Personnes associées: commandant en chef des forces armées du Myanmar, généralissime Min Aung Hlaing; Général de corps d’armée Thein Htay; Ministre de la défense, général Mya Htun Oo - Autres entités associées: ministère de la défense du Myanmar - La direction des industries de la défense du Myanmar est une entreprise publique qui relève du ministère de la défense et qui est également la seule entité du Myanmar chargée de la production d’armes destinées aux forces armées du Myanmar (Tatmadaw). La direction des industries de la défense est dirigée par le général de corps d’armée Thein Htay, membre de l’armée du Myanmar. Elle relève de l’autorité du commandant en chef de la Tatmadaw, le généralissime Min Aung Hlaing, inscrit sur la liste de l’UE, et est liée à plusieurs personnalités liées à l’armée ou nommées par elle, telles que le commandant en chef et son adjoint. À ce titre, la direction des industries de la défense est placée sous le contrôle des forces armées du Myanmar, y compris depuis le coup d’État du 1er février 2021. Elle permet à l’armée du Myanmar de commettre des violences à l’encontre des civils du pays et joue donc un rôle essentiel pour ce qui est d’alimenter la spirale de violence dans laquelle le Myanmar est plongé depuis le coup d’État.
