The drones were “primarily used to target Wagner forces in Mali,” CSP rebels said.

Rebels in northern Mali are using Ukrainian drones. Kyiv provides “restrained but decisive support” to the rebels. This was said by the French newspaper Le Monde.

In particular, in the summer of this year, the Tuaregs of the CSP movement actively used UAVs in the fight against the Malian army and its Russian allies from the Wagner PMC. The use of drones is no longer a secret – it has become a source of pride for CSP rebels fighting the Malian junta and its Russian allies.

Drones have become an effective tool in the fight to change the balance of power on earth: on October 4, 2024, small drones attacked a military camp in Gundam, located in the Timbuktu region, where the Wagner PMC unit. At least nine Russian mercenaries were killed, CSP officials said.

In September, there were also similar attacks on the same camp and other targets in the region.

According to confirmed data, operational cooperation between Ukrainian military intelligence and CSP rebels began in early 2024. Several rebel representatives traveled to Ukraine to undergo training in the manufacture and use of unmanned aerial vehicles.

According to a CSP commander, the drones are “primarily used to target Wagner forces in Mali.” Rebel leaders have denied the drones are of Ukrainian origin, saying they were bought on the black market in Libya.

According to experts, light drones are not able to radically change the military capabilities of the rebels, but are an important weapon in battles against Russian mercenaries.

As you know, in Mali, Tuareg rebels killed and wounded dozens of Wagner PMC fighters.

Later, the Wagner group confirmed the clash with the Tuaregs and admitted defeats.
