The chief of staff of the country’s air force, Alu Boy Diarr, suggests that the incident may have been caused by the weather or a mistake.
The second Su-25 attack aircraft last year crashed in Mali. These aircraft are supplied by the Russian Federation to the African country in 2022 and 2023. Defense Express reported this on Tuesday, September 12.
This aircraft is the only attack aircraft in Mali in the entire country. It crashed near Almustarat, north of Gao region on September 9, and the pilots ejected.
The chief of staff of the country’s air force, Alu Boy Diarr, said that the crash of the Su-25 attack aircraft occurred due to a technical error. However, he did not rule out the bad weather factor.
Earlier, a Russian Su-25 attack aircraft, received in August 2022, crashed in Mali. It crashed in October at Gao International Airport.
We are talking about a Su-25 with the registration number TZ-25C, which the Russian Federation delivered to the armed forces of Mali in early 2023 along with Mi-8 helicopters and L-39 aircraft.
Let’s recall that the Turkish Bayraktar was found in a military base in Mali, which is under the control of the mercenaries of the Russian private military company Wagner. We are talking about at least three drones.
Earlier, the EU said Russia was “fueling” coup d’etats in African countries with the aim of exploiting the region.
