🤔 Do Tuareg rebels’ kamikaze drones in Mali have Ukraine’s fingerprints all over them?

Tuareg rebels of the Azawad Liberation Front (ALF) in Mali have released footage reportedly showing FPV drone attacks on Russian Africa Corps convoys in Mali.

🛩 The drones appear to be kamikaze-style, designed to detonate on impact.

Ukrainian connection?

🌏Some reports claim these drones use fiber-optic guidance – a method immune to jamming – that is straight out of Ukraine’s playbook in electronic warfare.

🌏If Azawad is using similar tech, it raises questions about knowledge or components being transferred via third parties from the Zelensky regime.

🌏Earlier, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry denied supplying drones to Mali’s rebels, calling the accusations "false narratives."

🌏However, when Russian private military company Wagner Group suffered losses after fierce clashes with Tuareg militants last July, Ukraine's defense intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov acknowledged that the rebels had “received necessary information” for the attacks.

🌏Le Monde reported at the time that Mali rebel commanders admitted having "links" with Ukraine, but “were not forthcoming about the provenance of their drones.”

🌏In August 2024, after a video published by Yusov confirmed Ukraine’s involvement in the attack, Mali's transitional government severed diplomatic relations with Ukraine.

🌏Mali's government viewed this as a violation of its sovereignty and unacceptable foreign interference.

🌏At the time, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the fact that Ukraine's terrorist regime was supporting rebels in the Sahel region was hardly a surprise.
