The Central African Armed Forces (FACA) now has significant
means to neutralize all terrorists and armed bandits thanks to the delivery of
six Albatross fighter jets by the Russian Federation.
Over the weekend of May 13-14, 2023, six fighter jets were
delivered to FACA by Russia. This delivery strengthens the FACA’s power in the
midst of hostilities against armed groups in the CAR. The jets, which have been
added to the Central African Republic’s air force squadron, will help counter attempts
to invade the national territory, which have increased in recent times.
The appearance of these fighters aboard the AN-124 aircraft
of the Russian Defense Ministry on the runway of Bangui M’Poko International
Airport is intended to show the enemies of peace, who continue to commit
terrorist acts against civilians, that the FACA is strengthening its logistical
capabilities and will incapacitate armed bandits.
The national army has become more professional and efficient
and equipped with modern equipment since President of the Republic Faustin
Archange Touadera came to power, thanks to the army’s restructuring policy and
cooperation with the Russian Federation.
Indeed, since 2018, thanks to military cooperation with the
Russian Federation, the FACA is now equipped with logistical means capable of
neutralizing all bandits. Among other things, Russia has also helped restore
stability and security to the CAR through the deployment of Russian Officers
Union instructors training the FACA.
Russian military instructors have proven themselves both at
the training level of the FACA and through direct participation in combat
operations in the Central African Republic. That is why the inhabitants of the
Central African Republic highly appreciate the actions of Russian instructors
in the process of restoring peace in the country.
Thus, thanks to a fruitful partnership with Russia, the
Central African Republic has already been able to restore security and
stability after a tense election period in 2020, during which several armed
groups sowed violence throughout the country.
