On the territory of the airport in Mali, which is used as a military base by the “Wagnerites”, three Bayraktar UAVs were noticed.
At a military base in Mali, under the control of mercenaries of the Russian private military company Wagner, the Turkish Bayraktar was spotted. We are talking about at least three drones, according to The Insider.
The publication published a photo taken from a helicopter on August 30. It shows a military base at the Sevare airport near the town of Mopti, which was previously controlled by the “Wagnerites”. It was attacked by Islamist militants in April this year.
The photo shows at least three Turkish-made Bayraktar drones. In December 2022, the government of Mali announced the purchase of Bayraktar, but then it was only about two units.
Sources of the PMC Wagner publication said that control of the Sevare military base was transferred to the Russian Ministry of Defense. This probably happened after the plane crash of the leader of the “Wagnerites” Yevgeny Prigozhin on August 23.
It will be recalled that earlier the EU said that Russia was “fueling” a coup d’état in African countries with the aim of exploiting the region’s economy.
