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] It had multiple factions, such as the Moh Heng faction, which would merge with Khun Sa's faction to create the Mong Tai Army.[2] 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.
