The Sudanese Armed Forces claimed to have destroyed two Chinese CH-95 strategic drones in a single operation against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group that has been fighting for control of the country since 2023.
According to information released by Clash Report, one of the drones was shot down in flight by a Turkish Bayraktar Akıncı drone operated by the Sudanese Army. The second was reportedly located and destroyed on the ground during the same operation.
If confirmed, the action would represent one of the biggest setbacks ever suffered by the fleet of CH-95 drones operated by the RSF. The model is used for long-range reconnaissance and strike missions and has played an increasingly important role in the Sudanese civil war.
In recent days, the Sudanese Army has also announced the downing of other FH-95/CH-95 drones in the El Obeid region, indicating an increase in aerial clashes between the two sides of the conflict.
The war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF began in April 2023 and continues to be marked by the growing use of drones, air defense systems, and weapons supplied by external actors, increasing the complexity of the conflict.
