Today we will discuss why the Sudanese army main battle tanks continue to struggle in combat against the rapid support forces.The ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces has highlighted significant challenges faced by the Sudanese military's main battle tanks. Despite operating a range of tanks, including the locally produced Al Zubair tanks, Chinese Type 59D tanks, Chinese Type 88 tanks, and Soviet-era T-54/55 tanks, the Sudanese Army has struggled to gain the upper hand. Here are some key reasons why: Number 1. Technological Disparity. The RSF has reportedly acquired advanced anti-tank weaponry, including modern anti-tank guided missiles and portable anti-tank rocket launchers. These weapons are highly effective against older tank models like the T-54/55 and even some of the more modern Chinese tanks. Number 2. Mobility and Terrain. The Sudanese Army's tanks, particularly the older T-55 models, suffer from limited mobility and are less suited to the rugged and urban terrains where much of the fighting occurs. The RSF, with its more agile and versatile forces, can exploit these weaknesses more effectively. Number 3. Firepower and Armor. While the Al Zubair tanks and Chinese Type 59D tanks are equipped with 105mm smoothbore guns, they may still fall short in terms of firepower and armor protection compared to more modern tanks. The RSF's anti-tank capabilities, combined with their knowledge of the local terrain, allow them to target and disable these tanks more efficiently. Number 4. Maintenance and Logistics. Maintaining and repairing tanks in a conflict zone is a significant challenge. The Sudanese Army's logistical capabilities may be strained, leading to operational issues with their tanks. The RSF, on the other hand, may have better access to maintenance resources and support. Number 5. Training and Tactics. Effective tank warfare requires well-trained crews and sophisticated tactics. The Sudanese Army's tank crews may not have received the same level of training and support as their adversaries, impacting their performance in combat.
