About 100 people were killed or injured when Sudanese Government airplanes bombed a village in the northern section of the country's war-scarred Darfur region.
The Sudan air force has bombed the village of Rahad Kabolong in North Darfur state.
Libya's Col. Gadaffi donated a squadron MIG-23 Floggers to the SAF. It is believed that no "Floggers" are currently flying due to lack of parts and high attrition rates.
The late 80-ties and early 90-ties brought the Inqaz era to the Sudan.
It came with the supply (Iranian funding) of many fighter and helicopter types to the service, including Chinese built F-7 fighter bombers and and Mi-24 Helicopter gunships.

It is highly unlikely that any of these aircraft - including the Hercules - is still operational due to the U.S. embargo except for the AN!
