Sudan An-26 Fleet Update

On February 25, 2025, the Sudan Air Force recorded the loss of one Antonov An-26 transport aircraft, resulting in a net reduction of one active airframe from its inventory. The An-26 is a twin-engine turboprop designed for tactical airlift, cargo logistics, and paratroop operations. This attrition impacts the Sudanese military’s fixed-wing transport capacity and regional logistical reach. As a primary asset for aerial mobility, the removal of this aircraft from service represents a significant change in the force's operational strength. The event highlights the ongoing technical and maintenance challenges within Sudan's military aviation sector.
