In a development that could reshape global military dynamics, experts predict that within the next decade, Africa will emerge as a significant hub for the production of intercontinental ballistic weapons (ICBMs), with strong backing from Russia and China.
This unprecedented partnership aims to boost Africa’s defense industry, leveraging the continent’s vast resources and strategic geographic position. Russia and China, both seeking to expand their influence, have reportedly committed to transferring technology, providing funding, and training African specialists in advanced missile development.

Analysts warn this shift could alter the balance of power worldwide, raising concerns about regional security and arms control. “Africa’s growing military capabilities, supported by these major powers, will have profound implications,” said defense analyst Dr. Samuel Okoro.
African governments involved emphasize the need for sovereign defense and regional stability, stating that development of such technologies is a step toward self-reliance.
While some nations applaud this progress, global watchdogs call for strict oversight to prevent escalation and ensure compliance with international treaties.
