From Conflict To Conflict: Sudanβs Fighting Vehicles
20 April 2023 at 00:30
By Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans
The goal of this list is to comprehensively catalogue Sudan's
current inventory of vehicles and equipment. In an effort to streamline
the list and avoid unnecessary confusion, radars, trucks and technicals are not included in the list. Vehicles offered for sale by Sudan's Military Industry Corporation (MIC) that haven't entered service with the Sudanese Armed Forces and equipment (formerly) deployed with the Sudanese contingent deployed to Yemen but not owned by Sudan are not included in this list. If several
configurations of a vehicle with one designation are known, they are
added as such. Sudanese designations are not included to avoid confusion as these often consist of one designation that is used for several vehicle types. The part within the apostrophes refers to other
designations or an unofficial designation. When available, the range (of rockets and missiles) are
added.
