Iranian-made drones have reportedly played a significant role in Sudan s civil war, aiding the army in gaining ground against the paramilitary Rapid Support Force. The drones, acquired over the past few months, have been used to monitor and target RSF fighters in heavily populated areas, leading to territorial gains around the capital.
