Long-Range Drones Used in Sudan

 Reuters published on 12 September 2025 an article titled "Long-range 'Kamikaze' Drones Seen Near RSF Base Could Worsen Conflict in Sudan" by Nafisa Eltahir.

Satellite imagery shows 13 long-range suicide drones and landing gear in Nyala, Sudan, which is controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.  These weapons, which have a range of 1,200 miles, were not thought to be in use in Sudan.  Companies in Russia, Iran, and China manufacture these large drones.  China said it had no knowledge of the drones.
