Russia transferred a batch of combat aircraft and helicopters to Mali

Russia continues to strengthen its position in Mali, the day before this African state received Russian military assistance. The official handover ceremony was held at the airport of the capital of the state of Bamako.

Russia handed over to the Malian military several aircraft and helicopters, in particular Su-25 attack aircraft and combat training L-39, Mi-24 and Mi-8 attack transport helicopters. In addition, CASA C-295 transport aircraft were transferred. The ceremony was attended by the president of the transitional period of Mali, Colonel Assimi Goita, the Minister of Defense of the country, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Mali, Igor Gromyko, the Prime Minister of Mali, Shogel Maiga, and other officials.

Many thanks to the Transitional President Colonel Assimi Goita and the mutually beneficial partnership with the Russian Federation

- said the Minister of Defense of Mali, Colonel Sadio Camara.

It is worth noting that over the past year, Russia has significantly strengthened itself in this state, ousting the French from there. In May of this year, Bamako broke an agreement with Paris on military cooperation, accusing the French authorities of pursuing a neo-colonial policy that runs counter to the interests of the people. Now the French must withdraw all their troops from the country's territory within six months.

Instead of the French army, Russian military advisers and "musicians" from the Wagner PMC are now in Mali. It is they who are preparing the Malian army.

Wow, now the sickly hysteria will begin!

The world is arming Ukraine, while Russia is arming the world. It is understandable. After all, 20% of the military potential is involved in the NWO. And we are not in a hurry!

The picture is extremely clear and transparent, but does it become any less strange because of this?

She has always been like that. They just didn't pay attention to it. Even under the USSR.

Don't care about their hysteria. Of course, it’s a childish principle, but it’s impossible to deal with them differently, since even Putin began to talk in this style. According to this principle, practically any remarks of Western partners can be answered: "You started it yourself."

Yes figs with her. If only these "adapters" would not be sent later, these weapons, to Ukraine.

Again, apparently in debt, and then write off

Russia continues to strengthen its position in Mali,

. The topic is interesting and it is worth watching the development of the situation carefully.

[2 Level Advisor]

the tradition of adjusting state property for free - has not gone away .. and there is no need for the development of deposits by our oligarchs - let them supply equipment at their own expense - such a volume for them is absolutely a "lifting burden" ...

[hell machine]

It's a stupid idea to give money / weapons, etc. for free, then these countries will betray in an instant.
Putin, for example, with Italy and Germany, how much "partnership" he did, discounts on gas, nishtyaki to German companies, etc. And what was the result?
As you can see, the bribery approach does not work at all.

For example, we supported sanctions against the Yugoslavs (Serbia), but then we came to our senses and blocked a ground operation for NATO (Throwing at Pristina or whatever). The Serbs still consider us "brothers", well, in short, they consider us friends.

In Mali, there are long-standing military traditions - to send some of the cadets to study in Russia (RVVDKU in particular), and some to France.
Without this, it is very difficult to make a career in the state apparatus.
Wagner has recently been building up his presence there, which is why the frogs are very angry at him. There were cases of various types of attempts on our guys (including poisoning) with different results.
Let's see how things develop...

[Alexey-74]

Macron is very concerned...

[Petr_Koldunov]

A good answer to those who stubbornly insist that Russia is running out of equipment, and that there is essentially nothing to fight with ...
If there were nothing to fight with, they would not distribute such batches of weapons to other countries at a time when the load on the military-industrial complex is very high.

[Ru_Na]

Thank you, first of all, the military-industrial complex of the USSR, it is thanks to him that we have mountains of weapons and have something to fight in the NMD, the modern military-industrial complex of Russia did not even stand close, everything our guys fight on, 80% Soviet stocks!

[Andy_nsk]

In addition, CASA C-295 transport aircraft were transferred.

Interestingly, did the Russian Federation also transfer the "watermelon" planes? Where do we get them from?

[Ruby]

They squeezed someone out or bought them through dummy ones. The Russian Federation does not appear in the lists of operators for them.

Many thanks to the Transitional President, Colonel Assimi Goita, and to the mutually beneficial partnership with the Russian Federation, Malian Defense Minister Colonel Sadio Camara said.

One monkey thanked another monkey for cooperation with Russia. This is good...

[Sergey Tankist]

The Soviet Union also got burned with these blacks. We help them, and then they will run away to the West, leaving a bunch of debts ...

Africa pumped a lot of strength out of the USSR. Is it worth it? I do not know.

[Sergey Tankist]

Russia forgave $17,65 billion to African countries. And I think it got much less sense ...

And then our ,, elite ,, does not understand this type, but they will have time to swing some kind of gesheft, the right passans ,, .. well, at least they hope that they will have time. And that the state treasury will get debts, well, so he is Russian, state. capitalism, in action.

[stelltok]

..... but they will have time to swing some kind of gesheft ....

And why is the Chinese army not helping Africa? Or helping?
There are many Chinese companies (which extract resources) in Africa.

[Yaro Polk]

Russia should conduct propaganda throughout Africa (in the good sense of the word), like their Britain, France and Germany ... for centuries they spread rot and genocide because of their natural wealth, and if not for Europe .. they would now live richer than America ..
You can collect photos of such albums in Moscow .. in the archives ..
* our nichrome do not know how to work .. to zachmyrit this smelly WEST.

[iouris]

It is wrong to supply weapons that are morally and physically obsolete. In the future, this will lead to undermining the prestige of the state. Must be rented out.

[Witness]

But nothing that the "musicians" in the foreground are very "tanned"? That is, the coals are completely ... Right, Kolya and Vasya, from near Kolomna .... :)

And where did you see that this is a Wagner, this is a guard. Why, why did we give military equipment, just always take open the wiki minerals of Mali here is the answer. Nothing has changed before there were French and English now Russians and Chinese. we stand aside with China. Africa has a lot of rare earth metals and minerals and they are needed for the production of electronics. Take the same lithium without its reserves, the US military-industrial complex will become and its deposits in Africa. The formula is one, the terms change, the amount does not change. There will always be battles for Africa as long as they have minerals, the presidents of African countries change like gloves, depending on which superpower has invested in Africa country money.

May I ask, at whose expense is the banquet?
