Ex Belarussians Su 24 finally sold to Sudan

The long standing mystery around the fate of the withdrawn tactical bomber jets Su 24 from Belarus is finally solved. After rumors of a transfer to Yemen, the dozen of retired bombers were spotted in Wadi Sayyidna Air Base near Um Dorman in Sudan, together with Belarusian personnel and crews.



Sudanese air forces received very recently a batch of second hand Su 25 from Belarus as well. The light bomber is essentially used for COIN and CAS operations across the country.
Sudanese air forces faced a long internal conflict against in its southern areas that finally led to the independence of the South Sudan. Today, a strong tension still remains in the regions of Abiye and Kordofan. A war might even happen for the control of this oil worthy area.
Sudan is also in the middle of a possible future conflict for war, especially after the sudden decision of the Ethiopian government to erect a dam across the Nile, causing the fury of Egypt, whose authorities clearly threatened the African horn’s country of military retaliation.




The introduction of the Su 24 in Khartoum’s inventory, will give a substantial firepower to the Sudanese air forces. It will allow Sudan to strike in depth in case of conflict with any of its turbulent neighbors.

En matière d'air-sol le soudan commence à avoir un inventaire bien fourni... j'aurais aimé que l'AAF en fasse de même pour les Frogfoot...

Sudan receives first Su-24 attack aircraft

The Sudanese Air Force has increased its ground attack capabilities by acquiring Sukhoi Su-24 'Fencer' aircraft.

The acquisition has been confirmed by DigitalGlobe satellite imagery, which shows that the first Su-24 arrived at the Wadi Sayyidna (Seidna) Air Base north of Khartoum between 8 February and 18 March. Three of the distinctive swing-wing supersonic strike aircraft were visible at the air base in satellite imagery taken in June and August.

The presence of the Su-24s at Wadi Sayyidna was first reported by the Secret-difa3 blog on 18 August. The website said the aircraft had been recently retired by Belarus. Before the Belarusian Air Force announced the retirement in February, it listed 25 Su-24MK as being in its inventory, along with 12 Su-24MR reconnaissance variants.

Secret-difa3 also claimed that Belarus had begun delivery of a second batch of Su-25 'Frogfoot' attack aircraft to Sudan. The first batch was delivered in 2008-2010 and consisted of 15 aircraft, three of which were two-seat Su-25UB versions.

In a report released in February, the UN panel of experts that monitors the arms embargo on Darfur said Sudan had deployed some of its Su-25s to that region in contravention of Security Council Resolution 1591.

The Sudanese Air Force may now be in a position to redeploy these aircraft as it could use the superior speed of the Su-24s to carry out ground-attack sorties over Darfur from air bases outside the region.

The UN panel of experts report also included documentation showing that Belarus has shipped 3,998 S-8 air-to-ground rockets to Sudan in 2011; 2,748 were the S-8DM fuel-air-explosive version of the 80 mm rocket, the rest S-8KO anti-armour variants.

While the report said the rockets were intended to be used with Sudan's Su-25 aircraft, they could also be fired from the new Su-24s and other Soviet-designed jets and helicopters.
