frumentius: Tres bien Well, different climes different need. I could explain my point but it would be too much of an epistle. But I am of the view that the training and gear is more essential than the selection (or is this going to start the chicken and the egg argument ) |

frumentius: Perhaps it would be better to introduce of system of patching or tabbing. Similar to the Ranger Leadership program in the US Army, but instead of doing the training and getting the tab as a badge to denote advanced leadership training - the tab instead qualifies the Para to work alongside the Recces. Paras continue their existence outside of J-OPs, but individuals within the Paras can then be called up by J-OPs when need be, or a section of Paras can be held by J-OP's in reserve as need dictates. Thus, you circumvent the cost of re-equipping an entire battalion yet simultaneously supplement your ability to rapidly deploy special operations forces to support your special forces. Lets face it, not a snowballs chance is hell the army is going to hand over their best unit. 1 Like

ednited: in case of war it would be only air strikes and ethiopian army should modernize its air defense systems because if egypt send a formation of Rafale with awacs support , they will strike the renaissance Dam easly with the Storm Shadow-SCALP EG (300 km range for the egyptian export version ) , old ethiopian S 125 missile can do nothing . 3 Likes |

I'll just say this: Ethiopia has been very smart in getting her neighbours to share some of the benefits of the Nile dams. Egypt's military,for all its assets, has a major weakness: short logs tail to conduct expeditionary warfare. So no, for all their peacocking and warnings to Addis, they're in no position to follow through on their threats. And we've seen this before. 3 Likes |

patches689: Some valid points there. For example, there's always been some sharp elbowing from the Army when it comes to paying for the bi-annual national exercise involving the Recces, STF, CAT, CSIR, Pathfinders etc. Army says it's a JOps exercise so JOps should pay. But here's the thing: the Defence Review calls for an enhanced Spec Ops capability under JOps. After the heroics in Bangui the Parabats were flooded with so many applications they thought of standing up a 2nd battalion. 1 Parabat becomes a JOps asset and they can retain the purported 2 Parabat in the Army. Or they can upgrade 6 SAI from air assault to jump-qualified. The pros far outweigh the cons: 1) a propoerly resourced 1 Parabat; 2) Clear lines of command (unlike the snafu in Bangui when reporting went to both JOps and Bloem) 3) Simplified training across Recces and Parabats; etc, etc. I'm biased here but the Navy Marines already have an unofficial understanding with 4 Recce, so why can't the Army Parabats with 5 Recce? |

Very rare though, is Alpha Team of SAPS PPU CAT - not well liked in my neck of the woods because they poach from Recces and STF instead of growing their own timber!

LTGEN:Why not? Egypt is just a football player with quality jerseys and boot, but with no or poor talent. We Ethiopians had kicked their ass twice in the 19th century AD and this was the primary consequences for them to be colonized by British. So, why not do it again for a 3rd time if they beg us? Ethiopia don't want war, but Egypt wants. Defense is easier than attack, so we will take care of them. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Ibrahimanees: 12:53pm On Nov 19, 2017 |
Hati13:"19th century" this is the 21st century, Ethiopia was very powerful then even the British were wary of them. But currently Egypt has without a doubt the best military in Africa, good Jersey and boots and very talented too. "Meaning they are well trained". Of course there is always a weak point (as somebody said earlier) but I don't think Ethiopia can stand Egypt toe to toe. (MY OPINION) 2 Likes |

Hati13: football ? jerseys ? 19th century ? stopped an egyptian invasion on ethiopia in 1875 and what ? lets avoid this empty nationalism the fact is that ethiopian army isnot equipped to face the egyptian one ! and even just to defend its territorry , ethiopian air defense and air force can t stop an egyptian air strike . air defense almost nonexist and old downgraded su 27 from 1998 cant do nothing also , as a said before ( a rafale formation with AWACS support with their Storm Shadow-SCALP EG ) and adios the renaisance Dam they will even not know from were the attack comes . and i see on google map (hope im not mistaken) that this Dam is near sudanese borders they can strike it even from sudanese (north south) airspaces if they want . So its not the ethiopian military capacity that stop egyptian army for activate its aair strikes plans on ethiopian dam but politics and surely other consideration . try to list ethiopian air defense systems you will understand , and for a country that knows that it has been directly threatening with air strikes for years, i cant understand to not have a good longue-medium-short range air defense systems . 3 Likes |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 2:06pm On Nov 19, 2017 |
Ibrahimanees, tdayof and Algerian1 Yea, Egypt outplay every military department of Ethiopia, but they can't come here in Ethiopia and beat us. They will obviously have the capability to destroy our Renaissance Dam and other infrastructures using their superior air capabilities, but they still can't say that they will beat us on land toe to toe. The landscape of northern Ethiopia is home to one of the most rugged mountains in the world, so this will make it very difficult for them. If Egypt objective is only to destroy the Dam and move on, then they will achieve this but they will pay for it hugely afterwards. We have a military base in Sudan, so we would retaliate by destroying their Dam also. They will not emerge victorious. Either there is pace or die together. |
