Turkiye supplies Sudan government with drones
Turkiye has supplied Sudan’s military with drones in a move confirming Ankara’s support for the government against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
According to Middle East Monitor on February 28th, combat drones were supplied in October 2024, enabling launch offensives and counter-offensives that have proved extremely successful in the fight against the RSF.
The report quoted a senior Sudanese army officer as stating that “at the beginning of the war, we lost many military bases and faced significant challenges. With the arrival of the drones, the RSF’s superiority ended. Now we have air support that matches our strength on the ground.”
