Fidha254:
The airstrip is not part of the base, it's adjacent to the base near Manda civilian airport. Alshabaab was planning to gain access to the base through the airstrip.

Anyway about the camp, It's a Kenya Navy base, inside the base, their is another compound that houses the US military personnel.

Your Base security needs improvement.

How did Shabaab gain entry to even destroy 4 aircrafts and logistics buildings?

Nigerian army says Proforce MRAP is da Bomb!!!

It is heartwarming to note that, one of the recently inducted locally produced Mine - Resistant Ambush - Protected (MRAP) Vehicles, the indigenous Proforce MRAP, which was employed during this encounter proved to be a reliable war fighting machine, as it provided the required mobility, protection, fire power and maneuverability for the fighting troops. The lethal war machine has thus been certified to be a highly successful effort at local defence equipment manufacture.

Al-shabaab attacks an American base in Kenya destroying military aircraft and logistics supplies.

This is why the Nigerian Air Force takes base security very seriously.

4 Aircrafts destroyed

At least 1 vehicle destroyed

Logistics buildings also destroyed.

Why do we build this things abroad when we can make them here

I don't think we build interceptors for now.

Nonetheless this photo shows at least 28 units of locally built boats.

Deep Blue Project. The Deep Blue Project (DBP) is a maritime security project conceived by the FMOT aimed at combating piracy and other criminalities in the nation’s maritime domain. The Project comprises procurement of equipment and systems, and training for their operation and maintenance. The NN has been collaborating with the FMOT through NIMASA with whom an existing MOU is currently running. The main deliverables for the NN from the Project are 3x Leonardo Helicopter (LH109) Grand New, 2 x 55M Special Mission Vessels (SMVs) and 17 x 9.6m Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) as interceptor boats. Others are UAVs, C4I Center and training facilitation for the intervention team. The NN however, counts on the Committee’s support for FMoT to make provision for the sustenance of this critical equipment, to avoid past mistakes.

Strange that Iranian Militias are operating openly in Iraq, they show no respect towards their sovereignty - anyway Iraq became the playground for everyone in middle east. But this situation can be a gift for Trump and the upcoming elections. His foreign policy so far is unsuccessful and his behavior awkward and sometimes not rational (trade war with China, Peace talks with North Korea, upsets his NATO allies several times....you name it!). A conflict with Iran could even help him to gain a better standing.

Iran should be wise to avoid a conflict with the US. It's in her best interest.

jln115:
And how is Lionels BLOG used for commercial purposes?

Also the photos posted here don't belong to you or Bidexiii in 99% of the cases, so why must he acknowledge him/you when he/you don't own the photos? also how can you prove he got the photos from this thread and not form the original source!!

I'm not here to argue with you. My message is clear.

jln115:
And have you acknowledge the source of your photos posted on this thread??

Stop being a hypocrite!

This thread is not for commercial purposes.

Nobody who posts here sells the content. You make no money posting here.

Kindly understand the difference.

I searched for it, nothing but game

It's not a game. It is a web based Russian action movie.

giles14:
sanctions of offensive weapons been sold to Iran expires this October. So expect to see a Iran. If Russia wouldn't sell which I doubt ,China would.

Iran has very good defensive capabilities, in offense how much offensive equipment can they actually buy? They'll need to invest billions if dollars over a large number of years to have any decent offensive capability.

There are no equipments waiting for them to just purchase off the shelf.

They can defend themselves very well, but it would be very tough against the US.

giles14:
I pity US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan more body bags heading home soon.

It would be wise for Iran to avoid a direct confrontation on US forces. America has the means and has shown the country is willing to attack Iran.

This current escalation was caused by Iran. Iranian militia forces attacked American troops and killed a US private military contractor, America responded by bombing Iranian militia HQ in Iraq and Syria. Militia groups mobilized and attacked the US embassy in Iraq, America responded by killing Solemani.

We need to be on high alert in Nigeria.

DSS needs to be alert, it's not by invading Sowore in court.

President Hassan Rouhani said Iran “will take revenge” after a U.S. airstrike killed one of Iran’s most powerful generals
