Äthiopien

Leider ist wie üblich in dieser Zeit schon die ganze Überschrift falsch: Nicht Drohnen brachten die Wende, sondern die Luftnahunterstützung für die eigenen Truppen. Diese hätte auch mit ganz konventionellen Systemen erfolgen können, könnte man sich solche leisten.

Ethiopia’s 13-month war has seen yet another dramatic turn as the federal government’s counteroffensive against fighters from the northern Tigray region has made substantial advances, reversing the spectacular gains made recently by the Tigrayan forces in their push southwards.

State media said this week the country’s “joint gallant security forces” had retaken the strategic towns of Dessie and Kombolcha.

The Ethiopian military would also be able to use its meagre air force of 22 MiG-23 and Su-27 fighter jets and 18 Hind attack helicopters to greater effect as the intelligence of the intended target would be more detailed and up-to-date. Chinese Short Range Ballistic missiles, the DF-12, plus Multiple Rocket launcher systems bought from China can also be given far more accurate coordinates because of intelligence gathered by drones.
