(MENAFN) Sudan announced that it will start this week a mutual force drill with Saudi Arabia, the first such manoeuvres since Khartoum allied with Riyadh after breaking ties with Tehran in 2015.
In 2015, the country announced it would take part in a military intervention in nearby Yemen against Iran-backed rebels.
Moreover, the air drills aim to improve the operational capacities of the two air forces, improving techniques related to air ops and upgrading collaboration.
Meanwhile, Sudan will cooperate in the manoeuvres with more than two dozen fighter planes involving MiG-29s and Sukhoi jets.
