China is expanding its military exports to African countries, shifting from supplying light weapons and armored vehicles to advanced air defense systems, armed drones, and electronic warfare equipment. This shift is particularly notable in the Sahel region, where Chinese air defense systems have been detected in Mali and Burkina Faso. The South China Morning Post reports that this trend is driven by the waning presence of Western suppliers in some African markets.
