Galix System visible on armoured personnel carriers used by RSF System manufactured by Lacroix Defense and KNDS France Existing EU embargo prohibits transfer of arms to Sudan French-manufactured military technology incorporated into armoured personnel carriers made by the United Arab Emirates is being used on the battlefield in Sudan in what likely constitutes a violation of the UN arms embargo on Darfur, Amnesty International said in a new investigation. In a briefing published earlier this year , Amnesty International identified armoured personnel carriers (APCs) in various parts of Sudan made in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). New research has shown that these APCs, which are in use by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), include sophisticated French-designed and manufactured reactive defense systems. The Nimr Ajban APCs are manufactured in the UAE by the Edge Group , and equipped with the French Galix System . In pictures shared on social media and verified by Amnesty International, several Nimr Ajban APCs destroyed or captured by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have the Galix System visible.
