Sudan: While Washington Calls for an Arms Embargo, Sudan's Arms Market Increases
[Ayin Network] As Washington pushes for a nationwide arms embargo, Sudan's warring parties continue to acquire increasingly sophisticated military technology, including drones and air-defence systems.
As the United States pushes for a nationwide arms embargo in Sudan, the country's warring parties continue to acquire increasingly sophisticated military technology. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) now involves more than just conventional weapons and artillery, with unmanned systems playing a significant role in the fighting.
Both sides have acquired a diverse arsenal of drones and air-defense systems from various foreign sources, including Turkey, Iran, China, and Pakistan. The SAF's drone arsenal has expanded to include Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones, Iranian Mohajer-6 unmanned combat aerial vehicles, and Chinese surveillance platforms, while the RSF has acquired Chinese FeiHong FH-95 and Ch-95c intelligence, surveillance and strike platforms.
The supply routes for these systems vary, with some linked to the UAE, Turkey, Iran, China, and Pakistan, making the weapons market in Sudan a complex web of interconnected networks.
