The hole in the mag and the destroyed right thumb of the 2nd last mofo is actually more common in close range shooting than you may think. Guys naturally aim at the gun not the shooter-not complaining,though!

Geronimoe:
why would you want to shoot at the gun when you can kill the person pulling the trigger.

Perhaps what’s more interesting, however, are the reports that indicate three of the four wounded officers were wounded in the hands. Two officers reportedly received gunshot wounds to the hand, and one officer received a graze or shrapnel wound to the hand. Fortunately, they escaped more serious injuries, but the pattern of wounds to the hands is a significant piece of information that shouldn’t be ignored.

If you’re a student of gunfights, you’ll recognize that the hand injuries received by these officers were not unusual. While I am unaware of any meaningful studies that could prove that claim, anecdotal evidence from a lifetime of reviewing police shootings indicates hand and arm injuries are actually quite common in police gunfights, as the recent Pittsburgh experience seems to indicate

The patch on his backpack looks similar to US Navy Seal Team 3. And they're currently on rotation in Kenya, based in Camp Simba.

OK

Understand that I'm not trying to belittle the Kenyan forces.

But still,why should the UK SAS or Israeli special forces be actively involved within the building itself?

I would understand if they were providing advisory support behind the scenes in a command and control vehicle.

What's the point of their high visibility if they are not actually involved in direct action and kinetic response?

We know from experience around the worldthatonce they are on ground,they are ALWAYS involved in direct action.

So it's hard to believethey are not involved in clearing the hotel as well.

Dude, don't bullshit me. That man looks like a SF, dressed like a SF and buried himself into an active hostile situation. If he went into an active situation to reacue hostages then he was involved in direct confrontation.

Don't bullshit me.

Those folks were training with the Kenyan forces and they were together. Last time, even Ugandan troops came. The Kenyan forces have the capacity to deal with those terrorists quite well. However, there is nothing wrong with people volunteering. As you can see, there are many people who had pistols and turned up to fight. Kenyan law transforms all legal gun holders into police reservists during an attack such as this.

It is amazing how much we can achieve if we don't care who takes the credit

What's with the white "wife beaters"...they don't look tactically appropriate.

Sizzorkay:
Might wanna check what a wife beater shirt is, that's not it.
It's what they call a "Singlet" in Nigeria, that's a wife beater.
What you are referring to is simply called a "White T "

BruncleZuma:


The quotes says leave it be and answer my inquiry.

Sizzorkay:
Nah, I ain't Kenyan, don't care about what they wear, as long as they get the job done

While foreign Caucasian direct operations in conflict zones in Africa are commendable, Africans must impose themselves and take care of their situations by themselves.

We can't keep spending billions after billions in training and arming the military, including special forces, and when local operations occur, we are confronted with imagery of foreign Caucasian actors playing highly visible roles. This is unacceptable.

This conveys a lack of trust on the capabilities of our special forces and also emphasizes an obvious stereotype.

Africa must learn to handle her problems.

fabselad:


Africans know how to use their soldiers only against civilians.lol

Err.....no. To my knowledge the KDF has never shot prisoners and burned their bodies like a certain Cameroonian army unit did to Ambazonian rebels last December.
And distributed the pix and vid on the net!

They are taking a knee to plan how to assault the enemy positions. No military prays before confronting terrorists.
