Namibian Celebrity Dilish recently posted a picture of her biological father serving in Afghanistan...Her father is a member of the Kenyan army...does this mean that Kenya has boots in Afghanistan?

this news is too good to miss. Four Russian warships have struck 11 targets in Syria with 26 cruise missiles, from the fucking Caspian Sea... 1500km away Warships are the Buyan-M class and they're firing SS-27 Sizzler missiles. Footage too! And it is fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMasnaAf_H4 5 Likes

gottfried21:It is highly unlikely that d Kenyans will deploy their forces to afghanistan considering the fact that they hv already deployed troops to somalia to contain the threat posed by. Al shabaab, I doubt if the kenyans have the capacity to simultaneously fund two foreign military operations at the same time that will leave a huge hole in its pocket in other words kenya is not in a position to do so considering wat it will cost in terms of personnel and finance. If Dillish's father is indeed in Astan then I think he is there as a PMC not on the payroll of the kenyan govt. I wouldn't fault him if he chooses to join the PMC bandwagon . The cash will come in handy considering the tough economic environment we live in. 1 Like |

Patchesagain: Abeg this missile is still a shock to US, everyone is comparing it to Tomahawk missile. No 1 is even sure of the name of the Russian missile used. Could it be 3M-14 missile or RK-55? Who knows if they still have a better cruise missile? |

Patchesagain: Read somewhere that a Russian mig-29 locked on Turkish f-16 jet along turkish-Syria border but didn't shoot. The surprise was that the Turkish jets were scrambled to intercept the Russians and guess who locked on it's target first I just hope this whole fiasco doesn't lead to another war http://www.france24.com/en/20151006-mig-29-harassed-turkish-jets-syrian-border-monday-army?ns_campaign=reseaux_sociaux&ns_source=twitter&ns_mchannel=social&ns_linkname=editorial&aef_campaign_ref=partage_aef&aef_campaign_date=2015-10-06&dlvrit=66745 |

iblawi: 3M-54E1, fired from 3 Buyan-M corvettes and one Gepard class frigate. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Patchesagain: 1:20am On Oct 08, 2015 |
iblawi: Like i said in my post they said its SS-27 sizzlers (NATO reporting name) or 3M-14 "turqoise" (using Russian names) Daverytimes: Range rules out the 3M-54E1 since they fired from the Caspian sea |
