kikuyu1:Don't see that happening.... It will be a political powderkeg Anyway, Now that DRC has joined the EAC, it's likely that the East African Standby Force may see its first deployment in the near future... Both Kenya and Uganda are eyeing to be the logistical hub/route for DRCs vast mineral resources . I read something about it from this magazine , their sources hinted that the sideline meeting was about peace talks with waring factions in DRC to end the perennial wars once and for all, so that real trade can start happening https://www.theafricareport.com/194197/drc-tshisekedi-kagame-museveni-kenyatta-met-on-the-sidelines-of-the-nairobi-summit/ 1 Like |

Kenya Airforce KAF now has a total of 9 Grob120TP from Germany (Sipri still lists 3) that it has been periodically taking delivery of since 2020 up to now. I bilieve the intention is to eventually have a squadrons of atleast 12 basic trainer units. The president launched an Aviation Center of Excellence ACE that will be used to train both KAF cadets and also Cadets from other security services and civilian government authority in attaining Initial Pilot licence. 3rd and 4th pic is a simulation unit. Since this is a Center of Excellence, it's possible that the next phase will be to procure advance trainers 4 Likes

kikuyu1:One thing for sure is it's going to improve marksmanship for a battalion size infantry group. In large training excerises, a bunch of soldiers are shooting at a bunch of stationary targets at the same time while covering each other as they move forward, it's hard to keep track of who is hitting their targets every time and who is not. With such technology, you can have a tailored report for each individual soldier within a squad on what skills they need to work on in order to improve the effectiveness of the whole battalion. And at command level commanders can view the whole battleground on a screen, it will lead to better planing and deployment. And since the commanders will begin to rely on this for situational awareness of the battleground, it's only a matter of time b4 they procure some wearable sensors for soldiers deployed in battle to read their bio, position, communication etc 7 Likes |

https://www.flightglobal.com/defence/f-35s-have-encountered-j-20s-over-east-china-sea-usaf-general/147936.article A top US Air Force (USAF) general says that Lockheed Martin F-35s have had at least one encounter with Chengdu J-20s, and that the Shaanxi KJ-500 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft has a key role in long-range air-to-air kill chains. USAF General Kenneth Wilsbach, Commander, Pacific Air Forces did not, however, divulge when the F-35/J-20 encounter took place, or if there have been more than one. He also touched on the role of the new Chinese fighter. “It’s a bit early to say what they intend to do with the J-20, so really all we’ve seen it do is air superiority,” he says. “But we notice that they are flying it pretty well. We recently had – I wouldn’t call it an engagement – where we got relatively close to the J-20s along with our F-35s in the East China Sea, and we’re relatively impressed with the command and control associated with the J-20.” Wilsbach made the remarks during a discussion posted on the YouTube channel of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. “We’re seeing relatively professional flying and it’s still too early to tell exactly what they intend to do with [the J-20] – whether it’s going to be more like an F-35 that’s capable of doing many, many missions or more like an F-22 that is primarily an air superiority fighter that has an air-to-ground capability.” 1 Like |

WTF is going on...  The United States has announced sanctions on a Tanzanian national for his role in financing the ISIS-backed insurgency in Mozambique. Washington says Peter Charles Mbaga, aka Abu Kaidha, facilitated fund transfers from South Africa, where he is based, and helped an armed group linked to the Islamic State (ISIS) purchase equipment on the South African market. The 45-year-old is further cited for seeking to purchase weapons in Mozambique. The US “is taking this action to disrupt and expose key ISIS supporters who exploit South Africa’s financial system to facilitate the funding of ISIS affiliates and networks across Africa,” said US Treasury under Secretary Brian E. Nelson. The ISIS militia has staged attacks in villages and towns in northern Mozambique since October 2017, killing more than 2,500 people and destroying crucial infrastructure, including schools and health centres. More than 800,000 people have been displaced since April 2020, following an escalation in the violence. But calm returned after the Rwandan military and Southern African Development Community forces routed ISIS-affiliated insurgents from the troubled natural gas-rich region. The US says ISIS members and their associates in South Africa are playing an increasingly central role in facilitating funds transfer from the top of the ISIS hierarchy to affiliates across Africa. “Recently, ISIS has attempted to expand its influence in Africa through largescale operations in areas where government control is limited. ISIS affiliates in Africa rely on local fundraising schemes, such as theft, extortion of local populations and kidnapping for ransom, as well as financial support from the ISIS hierarchy,” Washington says. Along with Mbaga, the US also sanctioned an Ethiopian Abdella Hussein Abadigga, from Oromia, who lives in Johannesburg as a refugee and two South African nationals - Farhad Hoomer and Siraaj Miller. The ISIS-linked individuals are designated as financial facilitators of terrorism. https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/news/east-africa/us-sanctions-tanzanian-funding-mozambique-insurgents-3736422 |

MT:You either didn't read where this conversation begun or were in the middle of thinking other stuff while reading comments and you jumped in... The conversation was about Russia using old equipments Tanks, IFVs in Ukrain so far, when we know they have upgraded and more advanced versions and in large quantities. So why aren't they using the new equipment which provide better protection, offensive capabilities? if you enter street car race and you notice your opponent using their old car to race you when you are aware that they have a new more powerful modern car, it's logical to assume that they think they can defeat you using their old car and they are saving up the new car for a stronger opponent or the finals.. 6 Likes 1 Share |

SuperSixSeven:He (Putin) has been planing this for a while, he must have gone through all alternate scenarios of retaliation from the west. He definitely went through all worst case scenarios and planned contingencies for all of them, so it's probable he is holding back the advanced equipment for someone more equal. From Russia's perspective, and the way they executed the operation so quickly, they predicted that taking Ukraine was easy probably within a week or two max with little resistance after dismantling Ukraine's air defence capability. So it's not impossible to think that Russia is holding back the good stuff for a scenario were a stronger adversary decides to intervine. One thing I can say is Putin is definitely holding back. 3 Likes |

Its Amazing how government development projects forces the govt to deploy more security to safeguard their investment and in the process end up securing the place for the people who live there, for the case of Lamu region and the whole of North-Eastern Kenya, they have had minimal security personnel permanently based there. Since the first berth of Lamu port was completed this year, Kenya Navy Ship (KNS) - KNS Umoja, KNS Shujaa, KNS Jasiri and KCG Doria. have relocated from Mombasa and have been operating from Lamu port in order to secure the shipping routes as more ships express interest in using the port which is less than 60km from the border with Somalia. Under normal circumstances, Lamu would never have gotten this much attention from Kenya Navy. 5 Likes

kabe1:I'm trying to imagine if these guys were majorly black-led protesters, so many of them would be dead by now, and their protest would have received far greater condemnation , The National guard would have already been deployed ("to defend civilization"  . The protesters would have been labeled unamerican, uncivilized ... etc And they would have been treated as organized criminal entities and not individuals, giving the FBI the pretext to go into black communities and breakdown doors of any protester 'looking for evidence' of criminal conspiracy ......But since its white people doing this, only the leaders of these protest and only those who were caught red-handed on camera will actually be prosecuted.... And they will probably go scot free after making some argument about "defending what they believe to be their constitutional right" 2 Likes |
