The Galix defense system, produced in France by the KNDS and Lacroix companies, is used by ground forces to counter close-range attacks.
Amnesty International said the weapons could be used to commit or facilitate serious rights violations, adding that the French government should ensure that companies immediately stop supplying the systems to the UAE.
The rights group said it had seen images of the destroyed vehicle on the ground, showing the Galix system.
“If France cannot guarantee through export controls, including end-user certification, that the weapons will not be re-exported to Sudan, it should not authorize such transfers,” it said.
The United Nations first imposed an arms embargo in Darfur in 2004 amid accusations of ethnic cleansing of non-Arab populations.
Amnesty International has called for the embargo to be extended to all of Sudan and monitoring mechanisms strengthened since the civil war broke out last year.
Amnesty International called on all countries to stop supplying weapons directly or indirectly to Sudanese rebels.
The paramilitary RSF, led by General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, has been at war with the Sudanese regular army under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan since April 2023.
RSF has been accused of ethnic cleansing in the Darfur region, which it denies, blaming local militias.
Both sides have been accused of committing war crimes, and the ensuing fighting has left thousands dead and millions more homeless.
