Sudanese army downs 6th FH-95 drone in Kordofan in under a month

Sudanese Armed Forces claim to have shot down a sixth FH-95 drone in North Kordofan, continuing a pattern of intercepting the same UAV type since early September. The repeated downings suggest either a sustained supply of these drones to the Rapid Support Forces or a systematic vulnerability in their deployment. This indicates an ongoing attritional air-defense campaign in the Kordofan region, with implications for the balance of drone warfare in the Sudanese civil conflict.

SAF Claims North Kordofan Town, RSF Drone Losses Mount

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) claim to have captured a strategic town in North Kordofan, which, if confirmed, would disrupt Rapid Support Forces (RSF) supply lines. Concurrently, the SAF has reportedly downed six FH-95 drones in the Kordofan region since early September, indicating an ongoing air-defense campaign against RSF drone operations. The territorial claim remains unverified, while the drone downings are partially confirmed, suggesting sustained SAF air defense capabilities and continued RSF reliance on UAVs.
