Russia will assist in increasing the defense capability of the Republic of Mali

Russia intends to significantly strengthen its positions in Mali, finally ousting the French and Germans from there. This should be facilitated by the establishment of all-round ties between Moscow and Bamako.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, a meeting of delegations from Russia and Mali was held within the framework of the X Moscow Conference on International Security. The Russian side was represented by the Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia, Colonel-General Alexander Fomin, from the side of Mali, the Minister of Defense of the Republic, Colonel Sadio Camara, participated in the negotiations.

The result of the negotiations can be called a statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense about its readiness to help Mali with the strengthening of its defense capability. Russia is ready to participate in several projects in the defense sphere of Mali, as well as in the creation of the armed forces of the republic. The military does not provide details of the agreements concluded.

We are ready in every possible way to assist in the development of relations between our countries in the defense sphere (...) we are confident that our joint work will contribute to strengthening the defense capability of the armed forces of Mali

Fomin said following the talks.

It should be noted that just a week ago, Russia handed over several aircraft and helicopters to the Malian military, in particular Su-25 attack aircraft and combat training L-39, Mi-24 and Mi-8 attack transport helicopters. In addition, a CASA C-295 transport aircraft was handed over.

In May of this year, the republic broke off an agreement with Paris on military cooperation, accusing the French authorities of pursuing a neo-colonial policy, and now the French must curtail their mission. The Bundeswehr also suspended its activities in Mali. At present, Russian military instructors are training the Malian army, and "musicians" from the Wagner PMC are also present in the republic.

This is especially true today.

[Trapp1st]

The dizzying successes are doing their job...

[Shurik70]

Mali is larger than Egypt.
But the Niger River is much weaker than the Nile, so there is less sown area. And there is no access to the sea. The population is smaller than Egypt.
The military base from there will reach by planes to any country in North-West Africa.

[Uprun]

Don’t forget about Cuba, Cuba and Venezuela ...., maybe people are waiting for help, they can’t get through, there is a break in the telephone wires ..., you need to call, ask ...., how are you, yes and that ..., Well, I don't have to teach you...
Put on a promo code a division of missiles, not particularly expensive, so that people look around ...., let them try to shoot ...., together see where it will fall ... and what will happen ...

So Amer's trophies are full. Later and bigger, it will be typed. In which case (pollination from ukrov) - they fired at themselves.

[Ronrew]

Here Russia would increase its own defense capability.

[Diana Ilyina]

And what, does Russia have problems with defense capability? Someone has already conquered us, but we don't know?

[Ronrew]

Of course, no problem. Only daily strikes and sabotage of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the regions bordering Ukraine and Crimea, outdated military equipment and problems with personnel (the so-called 500s), but otherwise the beautiful Marquise is fine, everything is fine.

Or maybe while the NWO is going on, is it still better to transfer military equipment to the DLNR?
Or your Air Force?

[Borik]

Where do we get the Spanish CASA C-295. A trophy or something.

There, someone's interests. For a military base, in the depths of the African continent, it is not a very good place (there is no coastline, which means that the supply has great risks).

[Cat Alexandrovich]

It would be nice to write not “handed over”, but honestly “sold” or “gave” ....

[Mavrikiy]

Russia will help in increasing the defense capability of the Republic of Mali

Holy work. So that the adversaries sleep peacefully. Where at a depth of a meter, and where at two.

[Alexey-74]

I think it’s certainly normal to establish and strengthen relations with Mali .... but it’s better to establish ties with Cuba, Venezuela and other countries in the underbelly of the United States

[Ilgizl]

and it is desirable to invite more of their children to study at military educational institutions, simultaneously teaching civilian specializations.

[Al manah]

From pedivikia:

The northeastern part of the Republic of Mali is controlled by Islamists from the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Ansar ad-Din group, previously the unrecognized Independent State of Azawad was proclaimed here, whose authorities, after losing control over this territory, announced the transition to the idea of ​​autonomy for the region.

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

PMC "Wagner" has something there. OK.
Russia then what does it have?
In the end, it will run into a simple question: who are the beneficiaries of the Wagner PMC?
This is where a lot of things will fall apart.

Sand pyramids are not able to stand without "braces".

[UAZ 452]

The cycle of goodness in nature - Iran is increasing our defense by transferring (selling) its UAVs, we are increasing the defense of Mali. I am glad that our military-industrial complex is able to produce competitive products that are in demand even in Mali. At least for free. By the way - what kind of BTA aircraft did we give them? Where did we get it ourselves?

And NATO is so cool that it is in demand, even in Ukraine.

[tralmaster]

The frogs are losing ground. So now we will arm and supply. And the frogs have another hole in their income.

[AdAstra]

In light of today's realities, it's not even funny anymore.

Well, yes ... where else should we go if not to Africa !!!

[Uprun]

In vain, so with irony .... China is unfolding there to the fullest ...., there is a lot of things that have not been explored, not mastered ....

[rocket757]

There is a lot explored there ... there is something to master.
Irony ... how not to be her, because ... in general, with her.

[stelltok]

Well, yes ... where else should we go if not to Africa !!!

As for me. It is better to develop CIS. It is better to apply forces to the development of the CIS.

[rocket757]

Developing your country is an extremely important matter!
But, it is also impossible to isolate ourselves, it certainly will not do us any good.
Reasonable balance.

[stelltok]

Developing your country is an extremely important matter!

I meant everything about the CIS. And this is a lot of all sorts of countries. (Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, .........)

But, it is also impossible to isolate ourselves, it certainly will not do us any good.

So if you develop the CIS (and this is a lot of countries), where is the isolation? Well, ok, more + Middle East. (many countries)

Reasonable balance.

The priority should be the CIS. CIS this should be the most important. Invest in building factories. Develop CIS.
The USSR spent a lot of energy on Africa. So where is the USSR now?
The USSR spent a lot of effort on Europe, and did it benefit?

[rocket757]

So for a truly nationally oriented leadership of the country, such definitions as a reasonable balance / priorities and national interests should be visible and focused on the benefit of the citizens of their country.
Any other options, who the hell needs them?

[Captain Pushkin]

Quote from stelltok

The USSR spent a lot of energy on Africa. So where is the USSR now?
The USSR spent a lot of effort on Europe, and did it benefit?

Russia poured hundreds of billions of dollars into the CIS (including Ukraine). And where is the CIS?
Ukraine needs no comments.
Kazakhstan is confidently walking the same road.
If the West had not started foolishly pressing Belarus, the old man would have waved his hat to us long ago.
And all the money donated to Belarus, he would generously forgive us.
I don't want to talk about the rest...

[AC130 Gunship]

I wonder where they got the C-295 for a gift from?
Of course, no one will pay money there in the next 50-100 years, and both sides understand this very well. Maybe bananas? I wonder how many bananas are needed for one used. Mi-8?

[Uprun]

Not everything is measured by money ...... During the Caribbean crisis, there were far from commercial relations with Cuba .... but how it worked ....

[AC130 Gunship]

With Cuba - did not work in any way. From the word at all. Missiles that the United States could get were not there. And in fact, the whole crisis because of them and erupted. After that, the USSR fed impoverished Cuba for several decades. The end of this stage of relations was the cancellation of huge debts of Cuba by Russia, after which, almost the next day, Cuba invited the United States to open their diplomatic mission in Havana

[stelltok]

I wonder how many bananas are needed for one used. Mi-8?

What's the point of those bananas?

[Paul Siebert]

Mali is an excellent foothold in western Africa, from where we can control a decent piece of this continent.
With a population of fifteen million, which sees in the Russians anti-imperialists, liberators.
In 2021, the Wagnerites kicked out the remnants of the French "Foreign Legion" from the country.
The era of French dominance in Mali is over...

[AC130 Gunship]

Americans love to control and dominate. Which are not very much loved for it in the world. Why is Russia, and even on another continent?

[Two]

I wonder how long the government of Mali will last. And so the country is one of the least economically developed countries in the world. Gross domestic product (GDP) in 2006 - 5.9 billion dollars. ($ 437 per capita) grows cotton, Mali's industry is based on the extraction of gold and diamonds (it is clear where the wind is blowing). If ours go there, can they keep it, take it easily and keep it difficult. it’s worth it, but we help everyone like the USSR. In Africa, China and other economically developed countries are playing, and again we help blacks, then at the end we will forgive the debts again. The leaders are solid Shvonders.

[stelltok]

and we help everyone like the USSR

I agree. China hangs out in Africa. Could China do something to help.

[Sedoy]

Russia will assist in increasing the defense capability of the Republic of Mali

finally...
and then for a long time it was not heard about new acts of assistance ...
not LDNR to transfer the Su-25, Mi-24 and Mi-8 ...
they have mosquitoes...
