Iran and UAE drones used in Sudan war, evidence suggests | BBC News

Iran and the United Arab Emirates have been accused of violating a UN arms embargo by supplying drones to the warring sides of the Sudan civil war.

A BBC investigation has documented the Sudanese Army's use of types of Iranian drones in its war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Evidence has also emerged that the RSF received modified commercial drones from the UAE.

Foreign-made drones prominently changed the course of the war on the ground since their appearance in 2023.

Sudan's armed forces have been fighting the RSF for the last 14 months.

The BBC has contacted the Sudanese army, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Qeshm Fars Air to comment on the allegations that Iranian drones are being used in the conflict but has not had a response.

The difference is that that Sudanese army have actually admitted to using Iranian weapons. They’re not ashamed. Whereas the Rsf terrorists and the UAE have denied their partnership like the cowards they are. Nevertheless don’t compare our official armed forces with those west African mercenaries.

Wait so... in sudan it's (russia + UAE) versus (ukraine + iran)?

[Percival]

Oh BBC just deleted my comment just bcz i said "Russian did well by advertising Iran drone in Ukraine "😂😂

[pessi]

The BBC's accusations on past matters had been sketchy at best, especially when they never tell their audience about all the US weapons that have flooded every war and conflict.

A BBC investigation has documented the Sudanese Army's use of types of Iranian drones in its war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) - Is the use of drones a war crime? Are they illegal under the geneva convention? Is the only crime a made up one of NATO countries didnt supply the drones? I dont understand the angle that the BBC has chosen to report on this war.

To comment trolls - Buying weapons from Iran is illegal by sanctions. UK and USA is not....

[saeeddadash]

UAE is responsible from war in Sudan and still supporting RSF with drones
