The Shan United Revolutionary Army (Burmese: ရှမ်းယူနိုက်တက်တော်လှန်ရေးတပ်မတော်; SURA), was a Shan insurgent group in Myanmar (Burma), led by several drug warlords such as Khun Sa.[1]

History
The SURA had multiple factions, such as the "Tai Revolutionary Council" led by Moh Heng, a group which would merge in 1985 with Khun Sa's Shan United Army (SUA)[2] in order to create the Mong Tai Army with its base of operations at Homong.[3][4] In 1996 most of its soldiers disarmed, but a group of 800 soldiers were integrated into the newly formed Shan State Army - South by Yawd Serk.
