Russia said to deliver several helicopters and fighter jets to Mali

Russian Aviaton » Monday August 22, 2022 14:36 MSK

Russia has delivered several helicopters and fighter jets to Mali, as the African country battles international terrorism, a source engaged in military technical cooperation told TASS.

"That is not purely military-technical cooperation, but rather a special project. There were several helicopters and several fighter jets from those at the Russian defense agency’s disposal among the aircraft delivered to Mali," the source said on the sidelines of the Army 2022 international forum just over outside Moscow.

TASS could obtain no official confirmation.

Earlier this month, AFP quoted Mali’s defense chief, Colonel Sadio Camara, as saying that his country was currently beefing up its reconnaissance and attack capabilities with L-39 and Su-25 aircraft and Mi-24P attack helicopters which he said were being added to the already delivered Mi-35 and Mi-24 machines.

Russia’s Defense Ministry pledged in mid-August to continue offering comprehensive assistance to Mali’s legitimate government in its fight against terrorism.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
