A blow to the government forces
According to the Bulgarianmilitar industry portal, RSF has several Chinese Drons Feihong FH-95.
For government forces, Sudan is a serious blow, because this country has a limited number of bombers. For this reason, the Sudan air force use them in an unconventional way. In September last year they used an IL-76 transport aircraft as a bomber, shedding freely falling bombs on the position of the enemy.
The announcement of the “great success” made by the RSF shows not only the growing capabilities of the rebellious militia, but above all proves the involvement of foreign powers in the civil war in Sudan.
Regaining the Presidential Palace
The drone attack on the bomber was the answer of the RSF to recovery on Friday by the Sudan army of the Presidential Palace in Khartoum. Donons destroyed not only the plane on that day, at least 45 people died in the city of Al-Malha in northern Darfur, as local activists, cited by the French RFI station, said on Saturday.

The war between SAF (commanded by General Abdela Fattah Al-Burhan) and RSF (commanded by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo) broke out in April 2023 due to disputes about the integration of the RSF with the National Army as part of the transition to civil rule-a trial that was detained by the fight for power and violence.
