Regardless the dragging of feet showed commanders lacked the wherewithal and still do and advised Ruto accordingly. Everything about Eastern DRC smells trouble and the Kenyans still don't have the full CT/COIN air and land contingency forces and assets for complete clearance and decisive operations. That said I expect the Kenyan military to do a better job on the whole than the Southies.

Cause anyone would think half the Naij TRI services are all SOF! An impossible proposition. Any nigga wearing a black jersey holding a Tavor along with his GF and their dog are labelled SOF.

Look at US SOF number.

It's like calling IFVs MBTs or referring to Harbour Security Vessels as corvettes. The incorrect nomenclature confuses different roles and functions.

NTSA:

It's not a Kenyan affair it's more of an east African affair almost all east African nations are contributing troops.

1 Battalion Tactical Group (composite of several battalions) KDF.
2 Battalions UPDF.
1 Battalion SSDF
2 Battalion FDNB
RDF along their common border.
Furthermore the success of this mission isn't dependent on who drops more bombs but the outcome of the political process between the warring parties.
Operations like this are multidimensional .

There is no mention of the Mistral SAM Systems I don’t whether it has been taken or because it is coming from the French

We knew that all along but the common point here is the Kenyans have lead operational control at least on the tactical level from the deployments we are seeing and that's because they can just like they did in the overall combat situation in Somalia doing the heavy lifting compared to the "fame-seeking" UPDF. The challenge still is strategic command of all deployed forces including the UN and above all the game changing weapons and equipment to do the job effectively within a logical time frame and create the necessary conditions for the peace and political process to even up. These game changing weapons are non-existent in all the armies of East Africa and the SADC.

There's not even minimum air-to-ground precision capability by any of these troop contributing countries and Rwanda for all the [misplaced political process you insinuated comes first which actually comes last after commanders in the field establish favorable conditions for negotiations] will continue to be a destabilizing force to preserve the Kagame dynasty, weaken the DRC and keep the insatiable ambitious Museveni clan in check.

These multi unit ops can be tricky. Who has ULTIMATE operational control? Who far does his mandate reach among the different sub unit commanders?
Ie, if he tells say the UPDF bn commander to block the route of a retreating M 23 group and engage them and he says,"hell no!," what then?
This actually happened in S Sudan 2016. The commander of the peace keepers was Kenyan and ordered the Chinese on scene commander to secure a certain IDP camp in Juba where some female CIA agents had taken shelter amongst the displaced.
Because the US bribed Riek Machar to restart the war to halt China's advance in the oilfields the Chinese commander listened to Beijing ignoring the Kenyan general.
The infuriated Dinkas got their hands on the 5 or so female CIA agents IIRC they all needed extensive psychotherapy and surgery for cervical scarring.

Proforce Defence exhibition stand at Indo defense 2022 in Indonesia

MAN1960:


Proforce is not even ashamed of what they are doing, how can you be taking this armored vehicles with no radio system or means of communication to every defense exhibition taking place in any part of the world.

Proforce is too slow with it's R& and has totally ignored cooperations, for example Proforce can sign an agreement with one of those amazing South African military radio/communication company to be able to work together to produce APCs/ MRAPs with total radio coverage.

kabe1:


What is this?

Did they tell you, you cannot incorporate radios in their armoured vehicles?

MAN1960:


Incorporate radios in their armoured vehicles. can you just hear yourself?

So if I'm a procurement officer in Nigeria for example I would advise the government to purchase 100 or 200 of this armoured vehicles just for us to find someone else to buy radios from and incorporate them into this vehicles.

I think you are being too patriotic by saying such words, so you would feel okay if Nigeria purchases 200 or 300 of such armoured vehicles with no radio or means of communication from Japan?

You don't quite understand me.

Did Proforce tell you they cannot incorporate radios in their vehicles?

You think Radios are not incorporated to customer specifications?

I don't quite understand what you are talking about.
