They already know how to do that from when they supplied anti air missiles to villagers in Afghanistan.

 

BTW it's not the "entire country of Burma" but the areas of the separatist tribes just across the river from Thailand.

They didn't simply provide anti-aircraft weapons to "villagers" in Afghanistan, they provided them to organised militia groups known collectively as Mujahideen.

 

Also the situation in Afghanistan was completely different. The country was suffering under a foreign invasion with the vast majority of the country united in opposition to the invading foreign forces. Also, two of the main countries bordering Afghanistan (Iran and Pakistan) were firmly in support of the Mujahideen and perfectly amenable to having weaponry supplied across their borders into Afghanistan.

 

You don't have anything like the same situation in Myanmar.

 

And the massacre being referred to in the OP was not in the area bordering Thailand, it happened west of Mandalay, so pretty much in the centre of the country. As I mentioned, the junta's forces are killing people all over the country.
