Ah, I found the actual article the map is from, looks like it's weapons and equipment https://new.thecradle.co/articles/from-periphery-to-priority-africa-as-a-key-arena-for-russias-ambitions

At the recent Russia-Africa summit, President Putin emphasized Russia's commitment to military-technical cooperation by signing agreements with over 40 African countries and providing them with various weapons and equipment. Some of these deals even involved providing aid free of charge, demonstrating Russia's commitment to supporting African nations in their fight against terrorism.
