I suppose the idea is to kill them in Sudan so they can’t come fight in Ukraine?

Payback too

I question the utility of payback when your nation is still under active occupation

I guess that Ukraine are getting paid by the Sudanese government. As a strategy, possibly just trying to hit Russians anywhere they can as a threat. I don't know if I'm honest. Wouldn't even surprise me if a third country, such as France, UK or the US, were paying Ukraine to do this.

It's joint operations with US or NATO special forces, more of a cross training event than anything. NATO gets to learn more about drones, and Ukraine get more familiar with NATO ops. More than likely they were deployed from us bases in djibouti.

Yeah, that makes sense
