Russia's Wenna-Mar Base In Sudan Was Attacked By Drones

A few buildings were demolished.

In Sudan, rebels from the Riot Reaction Force (RSF) attacked the Russian Navy's Flaminga base with drones, which will be located on the edge of the Black Sea, reported the Rybar TV channel close to the Russian Ministry of Defense, according to the The Moscow Times.

This information was released by an independent investigator named Rich Tedd, who released sporadic video after the attack. The footage shows that several buildings on the territory of the base were demolished. According to "Rybak" reports, the attacks of camikaze drones in Port Sudan also hit key infrastructure, including oil and gas stations, power stations and the city's airport. Previously, drone attacks were rare, but now, due to the continuity of AAE forces, they occur almost every day, the TV channel said.

Russia has been negotiating the construction of a military base in Port Sudan since 2017. In 2019, Muscovy and Khartoum agreed on an addendum. It envisioned the construction of a logistics and technical support center for the Russian Navy, which will accommodate up to four Russian ships and up to 300 Russian naval personnel. Moscow also obtained the right to bring to the base ammunition, equipment, ammunition, and SPA and REB systems. The term of the denial was 25 years, with the possibility of a 10-year extension. But then the civil war started in the country and the problem was never resolved. At first, Russia helped the RSF rebels with the help of PBC Wagner, but then it began to reinforce the Urad forces. In the summer of this year, the army took control of the capital, the International Airport, the presidential palace and key military bases, causing significant paralysis to the rebels. After that, the Sudanese Minister of Foreign Affairs said that the agreement on the base with Russia had been finalized.

"The [Sudanese] troops are always in need of arms, ammunition and spare parts for their combat aircraft of Russian origin. It is the best option to give Russia a Russian military base in return," Sudanese analyst Asman Al Mirgani said.

With the help of the first Soviet naval base in Afritsa, Russia can control the route through the Suez Canal and ensure its permanent presence in the Indian Ocean, The military expat and the editor-in-chief of the Arsenal Aichyna magazine, Viktar Murakhouski, said.
