The Myanmar Directorate of Defense Industries is a state-owned enterprise (SOE) under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) that also acts as the only Myanmar entity in charge of arms production for the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw). The Directorate of Defense Industries is headed by Lt-Gen. Thein Htay, a member of the Myanmar military. It falls under the authority of the Commander-in-chief of the Tatmadaw, EU-listed Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing and is linked to several military- linked or military- appointed figures, such as the commander-in-chief and his deputy. As such, the Directorate of Defense Industries is organically under the control of the Myanmar Armed Forces including since the 1 Feb 2021coup. It enables the Myanmar military to carry out violence against Myanmar civilians and therefore plays a key role in fuelling the spiral of violence that has engulfed Myanmar since the coup.
