China's military power made a strong showing in Africa! Aerial footage captured by drones shows that the Burkina Faso Army's China-equipped forces, the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the 12th Infantry Battalion, conducted a major operation in the Gourma area. Burkina Faso drone personnel discovered a large number of rebels and armed militants gathering on motorcycles and pickup trucks, and then carried out an aerial bombing with Burkina Faso drones. Afterward, the two battalions of Burkina Faso forces, using the Chinese-made VN-22 infantry fighting vehicles and VP mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles, launched a full-scale attack against the rebels of Burkina Faso!
According to the statement from the Burkina Faso military, the newly established Burkina Faso Rapid Intervention Forces in the Gourma area last year, the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the 12th Infantry Battalion, jointly launched an operation under the guidance of the Turkish-made TB-2 "Bayraktar" armed drones, bombing the gathering areas of the rebels and armed militants of Burkina Faso. Subsequently, the Burkina Faso Army deployed the VN-22 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, Chinese-made mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles, and launched an assault, chasing the retreating rebels of Burkina Faso.
The rebels of Burkina Faso also tried to counterattack the Burkina Faso Army, but they were directly crushed by the machine guns and cannons of the VN-22 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles. Since 2024, Burkina Faso has purchased a large number of Chinese weapons, becoming a genuine China-equipped army in Africa. In October 2025, Burkina Faso also established a rapid response force, relying on Chinese-made wheeled assault vehicles, howitzers, armored vehicles, and mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles, carrying out rapid mobile warfare in the desert areas. The operations to clear the eastern part of the region by the Burkina Faso forces equipped with Chinese weapons have achieved some success so far. The Burkina Faso Army will continue to receive a large amount of weapons and equipment from China. The tactics of the Burkina Faso Army are correct, using mobile warfare against mobile warfare. Long-endurance reconnaissance and strike integrated drones monitor the battlefield, while Chinese-made wheeled infantry fighting vehicles provide battlefield transport and firepower suppression. If there were helicopters for air-dropped突击 forces, it would be even better.
