The [[Myanmar Air Defense Forces]] ({{lang|my|လေကြောင်းရန်ကာကွယ်ရေးတပ်ဖွဲ့}}) is one of the major branches of the Tatmadaw. It was established as the Air Defence Command in 1997 but was not fully operational until late 1999. It was renamed the Bureau of Air Defence in the early 2000s. In early 2000s,  the Tatmadaw established the Myanmar Integrated Air Defence System (MIADS) ({{lang|my|မြန်မာ့အလွှာစုံပေါင်းစပ်လေကြောင်းရန်ကာကွယ်ရေးစနစ်}}) with help from [[Russia]], [[Ukraine]] and [[China]]. It is a tri-service bureau with units from all three branches of the armed forces. All air defence assets except [[anti-aircraft artillery]] are integrated into MIADS.<ref name="Indrastra MIADS">{{cite web|url=https://www.indrastra.com/2015/12/ANALYSIS-Myanmar-Integrated-Air-Defense-System-0516.html?m=1|title=Myanmar Integrated Air Defense System|author=IndraStra Global Editorial Team|access-date=7 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031065753/https://www.indrastra.com/2015/12/ANALYSIS-Myanmar-Integrated-Air-Defense-System-0516.html?m=1|archive-date=31 October 2020|url-status=live|date=30 October 2020}}</ref>
