Here’s the footage on YT: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1p47H8HuLtY

This video is edited. The background music is not the original. Here is the original in a tweet: https://twitter.com/VonKoutli/status/1356278671267557382

The song is "Ampun Bang Jago".

That's very surreal. And would be funny if the situation wasn't so serious. Can someone from that country or who knows what's going on give some insight? On the face of it, seems like military leaders who don't want to give up control. Is it more complicated than that? Do they actually believe there will be some kind of revolt by one faction if she stays in power (or at least some excuse like that)? The article I saw…

The military thought they were going to slowly take power back from her, but instead she extended her democratic election mandate.

Plan A failed so this is B.

Their pretense is the "election was fraud"

I think this is also the road featured in Top Gear a while back. I know nothing about Myanman politics so I won't wax poetic about anything

I think the point of these super wide and straight underutilized roads is to be usable as landing strips. I think the swiss have some highway stretches like that too, but not in the middle of the capital.

The city itself is pretty sparse.

Her shadow cuts off abruptly. Is this a green screen? Since there is already a dead comment about that, I'm guessing I'm wrong for some obvious reason, but I can't place it.

its an elevated platform, the shadow is not visible because its falling on the steps.

here is a opposite view, https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtNsnSxVEAE6hJo?format=jpg&name=...

Makes you wonder why she chose the road view angle

highly doubt it. coup happened at 4am local time, sunrise in winter happens at 6:47 am. this video is pretty bright

This is an interesting analysis. Did the coup really happen at 4am?

If so, then there's almost no way this video could be legit.
