Sudan weapons
Sudan is in civil war at the moment so I thought I would post the weapon purchases of Sudan that I have recorded as well as the RSF Rapid Strike Force's weapons. I believe the Sudanese military has most of the weapons of Sudan but elements of the Sudanese military have defected to the RSF and taken their weapons with them. The RSF is made up of a union of Arab militias, child soldiers they have allegedly forcefully recruited, and some parts of the Sudanese military I believe. That being said it can be assumed the Sudanese military has most of the National arsenal of weapons. My list may not include everything but I believe my list includes a large chunk of Sudanese weapons. I will try to update it.

Weapons the RSF has captured or acquired
RSF
to be honest I don't like the RSF because their coup de tat seems just random and just for power as Sudan gave them a crap ton of autonomy. Also, the RSF uses child soldiers. But I don't like Sudan either they seem like a nation that would quickly switch and side with Russia and China but pretend to be friends with the US. But I have a tiny bit of respect for the RSF for at least giving some aid for all the chaos they have caused. But I love watching the RSF weapons because all the countries that don't report their weapon sales are selling to Sudan and the RSF. Sudan is like one of the few windows we get into North Korean arms sales. Also, Libya is big into black-market arms and no one has a clue what Libya has.
