Recently, African countries have displayed a large number of Chinese-made weapons, including armored vehicles and trainers. For example, in Senegal, which entered the Gambia region, it was launched with a Chinese-made wheeled assault gun.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg where China has defeated countries such as the United States and France and exported weapons to Africa.
Ten years ago, Chinese weapons were concentrated in several traditional countries in Africa. But at present, according to foreign media analysis, two-thirds of African countries are equipped with a new generation of Chinese weapons, including Algeria (which imported Chinese-made PLZ-45 155mm self-propelled howitzers).
Angola (light weapons and armored vehicles), Nigeria (歼7, Snapdragon fighters, rainbow drones, etc.), Chad (armored vehicles), Ethiopia, Gabon (armored vehicles), Uganda (Red Flag-16 air defense missiles), Ghana (armored car). In addition, Sudan and Egypt also imported China's latest long-range rockets. Morocco purchased the AR-2 long-range rocket and a small number of VT-2 main tanks.
West African countries are the favorite Chinese weapons region. In 2015, Cameroon Air Force equipped China's straight-9 armed helicopters and also purchased wheeled assault guns, totaling 150 million US dollars. The most expensive weapons in Africa are Nigeria, Nigeria: Nigeria has purchased three P-18 patrol ships, which are the most powerful and powerful warships in West Africa. At present, Nigeria has ordered 3 ships and China has delivered 2 ships.
At the same time, Nigeria decided to purchase three Snapdragon fighters in 2017, and further plans to inspect the L-15 advanced trainer aircraft.
In addition to the above-mentioned countries, the countries with the most Chinese weapons in Africa include Sudan, which has long acquired the production line of MBT-2000 main battle tanks and 300mm long-range rockets. And in November 2016, during the Zhuhai Air Show, it was determined to purchase six FTC-2000, the Mountain Eagle Coach attack aircraft.
At present, the Sudanese Air Force is equipped with the J-7 fighter, the Strong-5 attack aircraft, and the K-8 trainer.
In Eastern Africa, Djibouti provided China with an overseas replenishment center in 2016. According to media reports, the Djibouti Air Force received two transport-12E transport aircraft, which is equivalent to China’s payment of the rental supply center to Djibouti. The Djibouti Air Force acquired a MA60 transport aircraft as early as 2014. At the same time, Ethiopia has been equipped with the AR-2 long-range multi-role rocket produced in China. This is the most advanced rocket launcher in the Horn of Africa with a range of more than 100 kilometers.
In the form of bartering, Tanzania exchanged Chinese 59D modified tanks with A-100 multi-purpose rockets, wheeled armored vehicles and so on. Tanzania, as the country with the most weapons in Africa, is known as the Second People's Liberation Army of East Africa. Kenya imported 20 VT-4 armored vehicles in 2016, and in 1998 the Kenyan Army also received 32 vehicles.
WZ551 armored vehicles, this armored vehicle withstood the test of actual combat. In Zambia, its Air Force has just received six L-15 advanced trainers from China. Its Army is equipped with the WA-551 wheeled armored vehicle.
Zambia is actually the second largest copper producer.
In African countries, Chinese weapons are newcomers, but China has seized the African market through barter and exchange of oil, natural gas, ore through good barter quality and easy purchase of weapons. Africa has always attached conditions to the sale of weapons, which is very appreciated by Africa.
