In footage released by the Burkinabe president’s office on Tuesday, multiple missiles were fired from a mobile launch vehicle. A matching search radar vehicle also appeared in the video.
It did not say when the tests were carried out but this is the first time the landlocked country has shown the short-to-medium range missile system.
Song Zhongping, a Chinese military commentator and former People’s Liberation Army instructor, said that in the past countries such as Burkina Faso had relied heavily on France and the United States.
“However, they now want to break free from this dependence on Western powers, adopting an independent foreign policy while choosing self-armament,” Song said.
