NEW DELHI: That afternoon, the forces also recovered an MA 4 assault rifle, manufactured in Myanmar and commonly used by the Myanmar army.

Officials on the ground say they aren't surprised because over the last five to six months, they have been recovering different types of Myanmar-manufactured weapons and other equipment from militants and their hideouts in Manipur. The forces also recovered Myanmar-manufactured bullet-proof vests and military fatigues smuggled across the border.

In the last week alone, the forces recovered at least seven pistols marked "Made in Burma", five Myanmar-manufactured Army MA4 rifles and one AK-47.
