Sudan's drone war is not simply the result of local battlefield adaptation. The rapid spread of advanced UAVs points to the growing role of external actors, such as the UAE, willing to arm proxies while avoiding direct responsibility. As increasingly sophisticated systems enter the conflict, Sudan has become another arena for regional rivalries. While outside powers deny involvement and shift blame, civilians continue to bear the cost of an increasingly lethal war.
