Sudan’s Army, with the support of Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs acquired from Turkey, successfully broke the siege of El-Obeid in North Kordofan, dealing a major blow to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The Bayraktar TB2 UAVs played a decisive role, targeting RSF positions, supply routes, and command centers, ultimately weakening their hold on the city.

Sudan’s Army officials highlighted that Turkish-made drones provided a significant tactical advantage, allowing for real-time reconnaissance and precision airstrikes against RSF forces.
