Milblog post describes UAV use and counter-UAV measures in Mali by government forces and armed groups

A Russian milblog claims Mali’s airspace is dominated by government forces using Bayraktar TB2 and Akinci UAVs, alongside Russian-supplied Orion, Lancet and Gerbera drones. It also describes armed groups using FPV drones and commercial DJI drones, and says EW and mobile air defenses are increasingly downing militant drones.
