Sudan's military recently announced several operations to shoot down Chinese-made drones owned by the Rapid Support Forces using air-to-air missiles launched from military-owned drones. For years, anti-aircraft drones were made by suicide drones or ground-based anti-aircraft missiles, but their capabilities remained limited to large drones. Air-to-air missile launch also remained an exclusive feature of manned combat aircraft, until the new technology was used to launch these missiles using Turkish-made drones in Sudan. So what do we know? On drone interception techniques? Why is what happened in Sudan historic? The answer is found in Abdul Rahman Abu Talib's report
