TL;DR

The conflict in Sudan has seen both sides, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), using a combination of air strikes and guerrilla tactics. The RSF, which grew out of the Janjaweed militias, is now at war with its former ally, the Sudanese army. Both sides have anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank missiles, artillery and mortars. The RSF is using manoeuvring tactics in street fighting and guerrilla war, including the rotation of checkpoints to avoid aerial targeting, intensive anti-aircraft fire, deployment of snipers and hit-and-run attacks on SAF bases. The army is using intensive air strikes to target different paramilitary camps, offices and checkpoints.
