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. Despite denials that the drones came directly from Iran, their deployment marks a turning point in the conflict, which has caused widespread displacement and humanitarian crises.
