JNIM militants in Mali have demonstrated a captured armored vehicle, a Chekan with two turrets equipped with KPVT machine guns and a W85, reportedly taken from the African Corps. This display of captured military equipment highlights the ongoing conflict and the capability of JNIM to seize and showcase advanced weaponry.

The "JNIM” (Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin) is an Islamist militant group active in the Sahel region (especially Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger). The name translates roughly to “Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims.” JNIM is a coalition of several jihadist factions and is affiliated with al-Qaeda.
