SAF's Turkish Bayraktar Akıncı Downs RSF-Operated Chinese CH-95 Drone Near El Obeid

A SAF-operated Turkish Bayraktar Akıncı drone intercepted and shot down an RSF-operated Chinese-made CH-95 drone northwest of El Obeid on July 13, 2026 — a notable air-to-air drone engagement illustrating the escalating technological dimension of the North Kordofan siege. The intercept followed a similar claim two days earlier of SAF downing a Chinese FH-95 drone north of Al-Andaraba, North Kordofan.
