Around the time of the Umbani/Al-Tariq demonstration, someone here claimed the SAAF Hawk can't carry air-to-air missiles and would be shot down before launching the glide bombs.

Uganda’s Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) Gen. Edward Katumba Wamala has visited and briefed AMISOM frontline troops in Janaale, Lower Shabelle region, commending their gallantry in their fight against Al Shabaab terrorists.

He took particular note of the spirited fight they put up against Al Shabaab militants, who attacked the AMISOM base at Janaale early this week, using a vehicle borne explosive to gain forceful entry into the camp, where they were engaged in battle by the troops.

“My visit was prompted by what happened here in Janaale, where we are now, where our base was attacked by the Al Shabaab using a vehicle bomb IED to breach the defense and where we incurred some casualties; some of our friends lost their lives. I came one, to assess how the situation was and to get a clear picture; how the whole thing happened, and also establish whether they were any flaws in terms of the response. I am convinced that the boys put up a good fight,” said Gen. Katumba.

General Katumba was guided on a tour of the Janaale base by the AMISOM Ugandan Contingent Commander Brig. Gen. Sam Kavuma and briefed by the troops on the ground.

He thanked the troops for the high morale they have maintained and asserted that the enemies of peace will be fought and defeated.

General Katumba Wamala further thanked the partners and FGS for the mutual support rendered to enable AMISOM operations progress positively. He also expressed heartfelt condolences to the families and colleagues of the soldiers who lost their lives and wishes for quick recovery for the injured.

“I just want to give assurance to our partners and also to the other soldiers that all is under control and definitely nothing much to worry about. Our hearts go out to the gallant soldiers who lost their lives as they were executing this noble task of defending and protecting the civilians in this country against the bad fellows Al Shabaab,” he added.

Brig Sam Kavuma said the CDF’s visit was timely and his tactical guidance will facilitate further progress with combat operations.

The bomb is dropped at a stand-off distance.

Outside the enemy air defended zone.

By the time the enemy scrambles fighters if ever the attacking aircraft are detected they'll be RTB far away to give chase.

Also the bomb can attack from any direction and angles up 90 degrees.

Seeing that the REVA APC is in service, have you guys ever considered equipping them thus:

"We heard you like support vehicals"

"So we put a mortar support vehical inside an AT support vehical"

I pray that one day our regular infantry soldiers will kit like these, then our SF would av upgraded more!

Possible up-grade for Nigerian Army Steyr and MTLB APCs.

It all boils down to have a proper privatised local defence industry that is able to support the military.


Those contractors who have been "eating" and "chopping" our money since the 80s on multiple defence contracts should come down here and set up shop or no contracts for them.

Our brother @Chukwu feels a lot of negative sensitivity seeing other races other than blacks in Africa. Please don't feed the troll.

So i see a pic of white people from America armed with guns carrying out an unknown task in Kenya which is in East Africa, i decide to ask the Kenyan gentlemen why they are there and what they are doing and you decide to attack me? if you carry on with behavior like this offline you wont live long my friend..and maybe if your tribe had felt negativity towards seeing other races in Africa there wouldnt be millions of black people in Brazil, Cuba, Dominican Republic and other parts of South America speaking Yoruba in 2015 and suffering extreme genocide and racial discrimination at the hands of the whites that you love. You are the troll, Henry, not me.

Read understand and dont respond.

*Unrelated* A Chinese video game software company called Tencent recently released a war simulation video(with the approval of the PLA)...Looks pretty interesting and just thought I'd share it....The Chinese forces appear to be engaging The US and Japan...

Seen it before

Its a fairly ludicrous video

The PLAN would struggle to defeat the JMSDF by itself, let alone the combined might of the ROKN/UNSN/RN/RCN/RAN and JMSDF

Mr man. just entertain yourself for once without d1ckriding the west

I bet you won't argue if it's about US invading China (as if that'll be possible)

Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, is: "Do not march on Moscow". Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good. That is the first rule. I do not know whether your Lordships will know Rule 2 of war. It is: "Do not go fighting with your land armies in China". It is a vast country, with no clearly defined objectives."

- Feild Marshal Bernard Montgomery

China cannot defeat the US at sea, and the US cannot defeat China on land

Been that way since, well, pretty much forever.

That video simply insults my intelligence, hence I responded the way I did.

I can tell from your comment that you're not a gamer

It was made by a gaming software company, not the PLA.

Russia invaded US in COD4 and everyone just enjoyed the game. Including Americans

Your response was unnecessary IMO
