The Sudanese Air Force was born with independence in 1956 on a handful of British Provosts, grew on Soviet, Chinese and Russian jets, spent most of its life bombing its own country — the south, Darfur, the Nuba Mountains — with improvised Antonov bombers as much as with fighters, and since April 2023 has been fighting the Rapid Support Forces in a war of air strikes and drones in which UN investigators, Human Rights Watch and the government tell sharply different stories.
The Sudanese Air Force story: British Provosts, Antonov bombers over the south and Darfur, and a drone war with the RSF
1956–1969: Provosts, Jet Provosts and a British start
The Sudanese Air Force was founded immediately after independence from Britain in 1956, and the British supplied its first aircraft and training, according to the Wikipedia history of the service. The first combat type was modest: in May 1957 the new air force ordered four armed Percival Provost T.53 trainers, two of which were lost in accidents shortly after delivery; three more followed in 1959 and five ex-RAF aircraft after that. A single Hunting President transport arrived in 1958 and two Pembrokes in 1960. Jets came in 1962, when Sudan received four armed Jet Provost T.51s and eight T.52s, both with machine guns for close support; five T.55s were ordered in 1966. This was an air force for internal security, and from the start its most important war was internal: the first southern civil war, which had begun in 1955 and ended with the Addis Ababa Agreement in March 1972. How the air force was used in that war is poorly documented in the sources reached.
1967–1989: Soviet MiGs, Chinese copies and American F-5s
Politics changed the inventory. After the June 1967 Arab-Israeli war Sudan broke with the West and turned to Moscow, and the Library of Congress country study, as summarised on Wikipedia, records that Soviet-made MiG combat aircraft made up the bulk of the air arm from the 1970s to the early 1980s. Relations with Moscow cooled in the late 1970s; Sudan turned to China and Britain, with Arab states paying for Western equipment. In November 1976 the United States agreed to sell arms, starting with transport aircraft financed by Saudi Arabia and followed several years later by F-5 combat aircraft. The mix that resulted was eclectic: in 2004, according to Defense News as reported by Sudan Tribune, the air force still flew nine F-5E/F Tigers, 27 Chinese J-5, J-6 and F-7 fighters and three MiG-23s. In 1991 its two main air bases were at Khartoum and Wadi Sayyidna near Omdurman.
1983–2005: the southern war and the Antonov bomber
The second civil war, from 5 June 1983 to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 9 January 2005, defined the air force’s method. Its most notorious weapon was not a fighter but the Antonov transport, rolling crude bombs out of the cargo door. Human Rights Watch described the government opening its May 1999 offensive in Ruweng County, in the oilfields, with "Antonov bombers and helicopter gunships" before tanks and militia moved in, and reported that oil revenue paid for sixteen new attack helicopters in 2001–2002, "more than tripling" the helicopter fleet. Helicopters, HRW reported, killed 24 civilians at a relief food distribution site in early 2002. Accidents took a heavy toll as well: a C-130H crash on 26 February 1996 killed 91 people, and an An-32 crash on 12 February 1998 killed First Vice-President al-Zubair Muhammad Saleh, according to the Aviation Safety Network records cited on Wikipedia.
2003–2020: Darfur, the UN Panel and a new Russian fleet
Darfur repeated the pattern on a larger scale. On 25 April 2003 rebels raided El Fasher air base and destroyed aircraft on the ground — four Antonovs and helicopter gunships according to the government, seven according to the rebels. The government answered with air power. Human Rights Watch reported in May 2004 that Antonovs dropped "crude but lethal ‘barrel bombs’ filled with metal shards" on Masalit, Fur and Zaghawa villages, and that Antonovs bombed Habila six times on 27 August 2003, killing 24 people. The UN Panel of Experts reported white-painted aircraft at El Fasher, one with UN markings, and mapped more than 100 aerial bombardment incidents; Sudan’s UN ambassador called its report "fabricated" and "big lies". A new generation of combat aircraft arrived at the same time: twelve MiG-29s ordered in December 2001 from December 2003, Su-25s, Mi-24s and, from 2013, ex-Belarusian Su-24s.
2012–2021: Heglig, Yemen and the Egyptian connection
Beyond its borders the air force fought briefly and rarely. In the Heglig crisis of 2012 South Sudan said it had shot down a Sudanese MiG-29 on 4 April and accused Sudan of bombing Bentiu and Rubkona; Khartoum denied that any air raids had taken place, calling the claims fabrications. In March 2015 Sudan joined the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen: President Bashir spoke of three Su-24s and transport aircraft, other officials of four Su-24s, operating from King Khalid Air Base. The Houthis claimed on 28 March 2015 to have shot one down; Sudan denied that any of its aircraft had been hit. At home, the air force moved closer to Egypt, flying the joint Nile Eagles exercises at Merowe in November 2020 and March 2021 amid the dispute over Ethiopia’s Nile dam.
Since April 2023: a war of air strikes and drones
On 15 April 2023 the war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces began, and on the first day the RSF seized Merowe air base, holding Egyptian troops and an Egyptian aircraft until the army retook the base, by then wrecked, on 19 April. Air power was the army’s main advantage over the RSF, and it has been its most criticised weapon. Human Rights Watch has accused the army of indiscriminate air strikes on markets and residential areas, including unguided bombs on Nyala; the army calls such reports "untrue and detached from reality". The RSF has answered with drones, including strikes on Port Sudan from 4 May 2025, and claims to have shot down several transports. According to Sudan War Monitor, the air force has lost nearly all its equipment since 2023, and in January 2026 Reuters reported a 1.5 billion dollar arms package from Pakistan. A UN fact-finding mission said in September 2026 that drone strikes by both sides may amount to war crimes.

How the Sudanese Air Force is organised
The air arm of the Sudanese Armed Forces, headquartered in Khartoum, which have fought the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces since 15 April 2023. Before the war it flew MiG-29s, Su-25s and ex-Belarusian Su-24s beside older Chinese and Soviet jets, Il-76 and Antonov transports also used as bombers, and Mi-24 and Mi-17 helicopters; Sudan War Monitor reported in January 2026 that nearly all the air force’s equipment had been lost since 2023. Armed drones, among them Turkish Akincis named by the UN fact-finding mission, have since become central, and the government publishes no order of battle or current unit dispositions.
Súdánské letectvo
The air arm of the Sudanese Armed Forces, which have fought the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since 15 April 2023. Wikipedia names Lt Gen Ali Ajabna Jamouda Mohamed as commander, but no appointment date or official announcement confirming him was found, so the name is unconfirmed. The headquarters is in Khartoum; since the war began the government has worked from Port Sudan, which Sudan Tribune calls the temporary capital.
Fighters and attack jets
Before the war the front line was the MiG-29SE/UB, 11 in service in 2022 according to Wikipedia, 12 Su-25s in Wikipedia’s table and four to seven of the eight Su-24Ms received from Belarus from 2013. Losses since 2023 are not published; Sudan War Monitor reported in January 2026 that the air force had lost "nearly all" its equipment since 2023. The squadrons that fly them and their bases are not published.
Older Chinese and Soviet jets
Wikipedia’s table, citing FlightGlobal, still lists A-5C, F-7M and F-6 fighters and a few MiG-21s and MiG-23s; none of these counts was confirmed elsewhere and their serviceability is unknown. The only numbered unit in the sources is No. 2 Fighter-Attack Squadron, which Wikipedia says flew J-7s from Wadi Sayyidna "for a period", without dates.
Síla dronů
Armed drones have become central since 2023. The UN fact-finding mission named Turkish Akinci drones among the weapons the army had received; Sudan Tribune reports Iranian Mohajer-6s, more than 40 Pakistani Shahpar-series drones delivered from July 2026 and the Sudanese-made Safrouq. The RSF claims several Akincis shot down. Numbers and units are not published.
Transports and improvised bombers
Il-76 and Antonov An-12, An-26, An-30 and An-32 transports. Antonovs rolling bombs out of the cargo door were documented by Human Rights Watch in the south and in Darfur, and the Il-76 has also been used to drop bombs. The last C-130H was destroyed by an RSF drone at Wadi Seidna on 21 March 2024. The RSF claims several Antonov and Ilyushin shoot-downs; the army has blamed technical faults, among them for the An-26 crash at Omdurman on 25 February 2025 that killed at least 46.
Flotila vrtulníků
Wikipedia’s table, citing FlightGlobal, lists 35 Mi-24/Mi-35 gunships, 24 Mi-8/Mi-17/Mi-171s and IAR 330, Bo 105, Mi-2 and Bell 205/212 utility helicopters; how many survive the war is not known. The UN Panel of Experts saw Mi-24s at El Fasher and Nyala in 2011, both airfields now held by the RSF. Current units and bases are not published.
Trainers and flying training
Wikipedia gives 23 to 33 K-8s, a range too wide to rely on, with FTC-2000, CJ-6 and Sudanese-built Safat trainers. Wadi Seidna has long been the air force’s training centre, and Wikipedia says the air force’s flight school is at Port Sudan’s airport, beside Osman Digna air base. Reuters reported in January 2026 a Pakistani package including ten more K-8s and Super Mushshak trainers; neither government published the contract.

Where the Sudanese Air Force flies from
Black pins are bases the army holds, hollow pins airfields it has lost. Khartoum and Wadi Seidna, north of Omdurman, were the air force’s two main bases in 1991; Wadi Seidna was the way out for Western evacuations in April 2023, and Osman Digna air base, beside the airport of the wartime seat of government at Port Sudan, was struck by RSF drones from 4 May 2025. Nyala has been held by the RSF since October 2023 and El Fasher fell to it on 26 October 2025; residents said in May 2026 that Al-Nujoumi, seized by the RSF in November 2023, had no army presence. Entries with no published aerodrome data carry no pin.
