Kenyan Air Force needs proper attack Helos like the MI-35, your MDs are too light and cannot provide the required support vis-a-vis the intensity of the combat in Somalia.


Infact the AU mission in somalia is in dire need of attack helos, had Ugandan MI-35s not crash into mountains, who knows.
there was an article about drone war in somalia and yemen and it was found that most of the time which a drone should be doing intelligence,surveillance and reconnaissance.was used flying from djibouti or ethiopia base to the intent area of surveillance thus becoming ineffective . Kenya army was using its MD500 to carry out air support but as we expanded our area of operation i believe that coverage was no longer available. considering the limited range of MD500 helicopters .where this attack happened its deep in middle somalia and far from kismayo,we seriously need to look at how we are going to give troops in somalia air support if we are hoping to degrade alshabaab

may be as things settle down in south sudan they will send them to somalia. i always wondered what a difference those Hinds which crushed in kenya,would have done.recently when ethiopia sent its Hinds to somalia twitter supporters of alshabaab started complaining(they are targeting civilians) .because they brought results

Kenya doesn't have spare M39 cannons?

A simple solution can be like us, Portugal and the then Rhodesia which used these types of cannons on helicopters supporting quick reaction forces. Popular was the Rhodesian fire force tactic.

The last time a South African Oryx gunship armed with a 20mm cannon was used was in Lesotho, during the skirmish at the Katse dam.

High explosive rounds are effective in hard surfaces as they spread splinters unlike in soft surfaces where the blast is absorbed.
