I am very happy for them - profit of 20K dollars after six years - what did they sell - some asset? [/b]must be an exceptional item on their P&L. Nigerians cannot hack in Kenya. If South African can't or Europe companies..please try somewhere else.

Actually they made profit after hiring a Kenyan. You can't bring nollywood entertainment nigerian and expect to hack it in Kenya - a very competitive industry.

Obi1kenobi:


Is your "doubt" based on any evidence? What do we have in Nigeria that they don't have in Kenya? The proof is in the very pictures posted here. Many committed Nigerian posters threw out the best they felt Nigeria had and the Kenya pics floored us hands down. It's objective reality.

I'm not claiming either that the whole Kenya is like that. Nairobi and Mombassa are just 2 out of 47 counties in Kenya and combined, they make up far less than 0.16% of Kenya's landmass and just over 10% of Kenya's population. I don't know how the rest of Kenya live, but Nairobi and Mombassa are superior to what we have here.

Nigeria is a country where even so-called "high brow" areas have open gutters, have no connected water supply to municipal services and still use generators. I am dead certain this doesn't happen in high-brow areas in Nairobi. Kenya have established quality rail transport infrastructure running between cities and we're still years away from that. Their train stations look better than our airports. Abeg face facts jare!



Nigeria ranks 177 in life expectancy in the world. Even countries like South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia and war-ravaged Syria are above us.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy

Nigeria ranks number 152 globally in the UN Human Development Index and 22 in Africa. Below Kenya.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_Human_Development_Index

There are all kinds of indexes you can find but I'm too lazy to do the job for you, so you'll have to go searching. I'm surprised that in this information age, there are actually any Nigerians that still believe our standard of living is higher than Kenya's.

So was I,tbh! My time on this thread has exposed me to a Naij tendency to ignore uncomfortable facts and figures.

frumentius:


To kick this off, the MI-38 has been completely ruled out for reasons I shan't go into.

Capacity isn't the problem; performance is -especially in "hot and high" conditions prevalent in the greater SADC region. This is not an idle boast; Denel Aviation has extensive experience on the Mi-17 as an MRO and they're seriously underwhelmed by its utility in the African space.
We'd only buy them because they're cheap - if our financial situation hasn't changed by 2025 - but we'd also have to expend resources on modifying them to our Oryx performance standards.

BTW, that's not a dissing statement: it's simply a factual statement that says this is the performance required of a medium-lift helicopter by the SAAF; helicopter A & B either meet that standard or they do not, their provenance notwithstanding.

The argument at JOps currently goes along these lines: Black Hawk, Hip and Super Cougar are the only realistic replacements for Oryx, seeing we threw away our option at a domestic solution (the Turkish TAI program was removed early on when it transpired the entire thing was based on working off an Agusta platform - on this thread alone you'd know we Saffers don't think highly of Agusta ), and capacity is a settled issue. Let's then examine which meet our performance requirements and standards. [at some point it was determined that the Airbus Super Cougar was simply too expensive, though it was the preferred choice on performance considerations alone).

Black Hawk and Hip will be cheaper, utilising various funding mechanisms, though performance lags. Then the question becomes:
what are the modification and lifetime costs to bring them up to our performance standard consistently over the entire life cycle?
Empirically, Black Hawk won - as do most western products over East when we in SA consider armaments we're not currently making ourselves - though I'm told Airbus is busy preparing a better proposal so the Super Cougar may be back in the running.

Interesting! Meant to be the -17 successor it carries 3 tons more than the H225 and is like 60% of the FAC. Admittedly these are paper stats which I couldn't post last night, Idkw. Can you add smth more substantial even if only in broad terms to avoid compromising yourself? The -38 also has new engines.

You must have noticed the unprecedented spate of hurricanes hitting the US. If you've never heard of weather warfare,HAARP or geo engineering,do some research. A heavyweight science guy explains everything. This is actually EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT!!

For the first time ever,MSM,in this case CBS, mentions so called 'conspiracy theory.' The good doctor says HAARP was used as far back as the 60s to wash out the Vietcong fighters from their jungle hideouts! (imagine how far the technology has come since!)

His bio is impressive:

Michio Kaku is a well-known physicist and one of the co-founders of string field theory.


Born on January 24, 1947, in San Jose, California, physicist Michio Kaku studied at Harvard University and later the University of California, Berkeley, before starting his long teaching tenure at the City College of New York. The co-founder of string field theory, Kaku is the author of several popular books and has appeared on numerous television programs. [/b]Kaku first became attracted to science as a young child, [b]and while a student at Cubberly High School in Palo Alto, he famously built an atom smasher in his parents' garage.

Btw,Jose,shown here is forming up in the Caribbean,expected to follow the same path as Irma,which my own info states was weakened by NE Asia based Elites. Also Harvey was the first to make landfall after a 12 year absence of hurricanes.

Hbuyosh:


There is absolutely no conclusive evidence to support the almost paranoic fears of the GMOs.

Gmo foods are consumed in many parts of the world; in the west, in Asia, in the Americas. But there havent been reported cases of cancers or some physiological malfunction attributed to the foods.

With this perennial problem of droughts and food shortages, leading our govt to spend millions of $$$ on importing food to plug the deficit at home, the money that could have otherwise served better purposes in our country's developnent, it is high time that we alley our irrational fears and suspicions, based on misinformation, and accepted the GMOs.

The current varieties of food crops we have have failed us.

If can believe that GMOs are poison, we should as well believe that the polio vaccines are also poisons intended to decimate the African population. The GMO rumors are just as bogus.

You're right! There's a hidden agenda among those bleating about GMOs;keep everyone poor perpetually struggling to plant the same unsuccessful crops for generations for obvious reasons. But,there've been many polio vaccine deaths in both Naij and India.

Joe Samuel (4M),- In India, Monsanto hired Bollywood actors to promote genetically engineered cotton seed to illiterate farmers. Nana Petakar became a brand ambassador for Monsanto. The advertising has been called “aggressive, unscrupulous and false.”

Bill Gates, heavily invested in Monsanto’s GMOs as well as in vaccines, hired the most beloved of Indian actors, Amitabh Bachchan, to promote the oral polio vaccine.

Btw,remember earlier I mentioned Tutsi supremacy?IDK how exactly the topic came up but I did say their women are part of the Supremacist agenda. Here's proof:

In war,not all battles are fought and won by the kinetic capabilities of brigades of T-90 tanks,squadrons of gunships or batteries of heavy artillery. In the Tutsi arsenal lies the inestimable power of good pussy.

http://karanjazplace..co.ke/2017/07/pussy-power-real-reason-tutsis-and.html

Careful,NSFW!

They frequently cuckold their Hutu husbands in intermarriages to get Tutsi kids.

hen the king's wife was ovulating she usually could speak with her parents so that they organize one of her cousins to come and sleep with her. Tutsis are among few people who sleep with their immediate cousins in the region. Then during this time a wife would pretend that she is pregnant and ask for the husband a permission to go back to her parents so that her mother could take care of her during her morning sickness. In most of the cases Tutsi women married to Hutus could fake this morning sickness so that they get to go back home to their mothers and sleep with their cousins. This is what happened during the process that Tutsis called Ugupfubura.

Don't believe Hollywood bs,ati Hotel Rwanda,100 days,Sometimes in April,Shooting Dogs or the hastily written books by Western parachute journos bamboozled by the Halo Effect of RPF spokeswomen like, 'Shake hands with the Devil','Conspiracy to murder,' and the most pedestrian, 'We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with all our families.'

Anyway,its easy when many look like this:

Wow! Good to know at least some of you see through Kagame's bs! You haven't mentioned,though a crucial part of the source of much anti Tutsi feeling among Hutus and also the secret source of much of the formers strength.

Tutsi women!

As we shall see Tutsi women have a history,a culturally encoded injunction to break this covenant when married to Bantus,specifically Hutus. This is merely a reflection of their enthusiastic service to the secret group regional objective which is -Tutsi rule,by any means necessary. To this end,they have spied,lied,poisoned and murdered;all for their group. Willingly they have subordinated their basic feminine power to the cause of Tutsi supremacy.

Typical Tutsi hotties;btw some look a lot like Kikuyus.

In war,not all battles are fought and won by the kinetic capabilities of brigades of T-90 tanks,squadrons of gunships or batteries of heavy artillery. In the Tutsi arsenal lies the inestimable power of good pussy.

Spare a thought for first world acquisition issues!

Imagine when along with a high GDP per capita, you already have one of the highest standards of living in the world. The electorate,despite political differences recognizes the need for strong armed forces with working platforms. The civilian economic infrastructure has the necessary tech and experience to handle anything the AF may need.

If you need subs you buy a whole fv cking fleet cause you'll create thousands of well paying high tech jobs for engineers,designers,supervisors and technicians building,maintaining,upgrading and repairing subs to last the duration of their minimum 20 year lifecycle.

So when Oz buys 12 DCNS Barracudas,all to be home built for 41 bn$, I doff my hat and say ,"Advance Australia fair," Good on you mofos;I'm jealous!

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and French Minister for Defense Jean-Yves Le Drian signed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for the construction of Australia’s future submarine fleet on December 20, according to an Australian government press release.

The agreement establishes the legal framework for the development and construction of 12 Shortfin Barracuda Block 1A submarines, a diesel-electric derivative of French shipbuilder Direction des Constructions Navales Services’ (DCNS) Barracuda-class nuclear attack submarine under the Royal Australian Navy’s SEA 1000 Future Submarine Program.

“The IGA is the last foundation stone needed to ensure Australia is able to develop a cutting edge sovereign submarine capability. It follows the selection of French company DCNS as Australia’s Future Submarine design and mobilization partner and Lockheed Martin Australia as the combat system integrator,” Turnbull said in a prepared statement.

nemesis2u:


on a serious note whats ur take on anti gravity devices/propulsion ?

u know once during a interview to a foreign journalist PM Indira Gandhi slipped out something relating to anti gravity research being carried out based on ancient Indian texts.

based on that C*A spent lot of resources trying to find info on it

Real poo! The West including Russia have operational anti grav platforms. You guys just need to research your Vimanas,though knowing your R& centre work rates this has already been done and very likely some prototypes are ready-which ofc you can't comment on!

nemesis2u:


yes there is mounted versions too.

mortars r very effective offensive and defensive weapons , u have to see to believe the effect of 120mm mortars especially with air burst rounds .

Here's the Finnish AMOS,a double barrelled 120 mm on a 8x8 Patria,the Saffers have the Badger. Btw,its capable of direct fire!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwDlOdLZVwY

Alas! That's a 7 mn$ piece of weaponry so we're stuck with the mortar you showed earlier.

nemesis2u:


few pilots who eject return to fly fighter aircraft's again.

the heavy G force encountered during the ejection causes internal damage (spine is mostly vulnerable) making them unfit for fighter pilot duties.

such pilots r generally tasked to fly transports planes.

ejection is generally safe but depending on the state of the aircraft during ejection it will cause unavoidable injuries as G forces r additive .

Chopper crashes are worst! Since they can only auto rotate using airflow to turn the main rotor and reduce sink rate-without enough forward airspeed to get effective auto rotation you sink like a stone putting traumatic stress on your spine on impact. I saw a ex KAF guy who couldn't get a good auto rotation after engine trouble at 200."
He wasn't crippled but walked with a strange gait. A long flat stride with a oddly forward stoop from his belly. 2 lumbar vertebrae fused,though he walked away and the Puma was rebuilt.

120mm Super Rapid Advanced Mortar System (SRAMS)

DAH FUQ!! Is there a mounted version? That would be a nightmare-imagine 2 of these on the coy level,firing and scooting. A horrible nightmare for the enemy whether in COIN op or conventional battle.

Firstly they dismantled the Tsar's fleet at the turn of the century. All non whites were ecstatic;even Gandhi himself,conman and trickster said: "

so far and wide have the roots of Japanese victory spread that we cannot now visualise all the fruit it will now put forth." He later added:“When everyone in Japan, rich or poor, came to believe in self-respect, the country became free. She could give Russia a slap in the face.… In the same way, we must, too, need to feel the spirit of self-respect.”

http://karanjazplace..co.ke/2017/07/japanthe-pioneer-anti-racist-of.html

During the establishment of the League of Nations Japan insisted on a racial equality clause but were tricked by Prez Wilson. They were also very active with Black anti racist groups as the first pic shows.

After WW2 many remained behind to fight the returning colonialists in Asia while the latter fell back on the usual racist tropes shown in that poster.

ALL AFRICANS,NIGERIANS,UGANDANS,KENYANS,SOUTH AFRICANS, ASIANS INCLUDED ; INDIANS, BURMESE, MALAYSIANS,KOREANS AND VIETNAMESE OWE A MASSIVE DEBT OF GRATITUDE TO JAPAN.

We should all bow down,nairalanders! It wasn't Kenyatta,Mandela,Nassir,Nyerere or Zik per se who brought Uhuru; rather the sociopolitical change that brought about Uhuru was engendered by the Japanese.

SirWere:

I see...
But one group but different tribes, a confederation of tribes or something of such sort.

So Kenyatta also land grabbed. No man is perfect I guess.





I read the article but it wasn't conclusive. It just outlined the Somali influence in the shifta war but didn't talk about it's cause.

I used Wikipedia and what it said was



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifta_War

The article doesn't paint Kenya in a good light in the least


Wow. The Kenyan people really went through a lot under the Europeans. So awful.
I have a question ... did Ethiopia contribute in the eventual emancipation of Kenya from Euroepan hands? You are neighbours after all.
Also are there still white settlers colonialists in Kenya??¿! You sound as if there were
cc Haiti13

Like I said Kenyatta acquired a lot of land-did he grab it? I haven't found any evidence of this. You don't know Somalis! basically at the time they felt superior to bantu Christians. Even now they call Africans madh madhou (hard hair) and adon (sub human). Google the plight of Somali bantus. Imagine what a nightmare it would've been for us had they succeeded in their secession! Hordes of violent,retarded,racists without regard for human life only hours away from our major population centres! Btw,Somalis have also lost wars with Ethios.
Like Zim and Algeria we had a real independence struggle since we were also settler countries,the major difference with W Africans,your countries weren't heavily settled by Oyinbos. Haile Selassie helped some Mau Mau reach Yugoslavia around 54-56 where they met Tito to get heavy weapons and continue the struggle. My info has it Kenyatta then in detention nixed the deal.

interesting,

tell me one thing where do u find all this info

u must be a real traveller in the cyber world


"army field welfare is often the best reflection of the true face of its regime"

this must be something new for most of the visitors here

really interesting issue/topic highlighted by u.



also on a different unrelated note do u know/many r not aware of the importance of terrain and climate acclimatization ?

even the elite of the elite troopers equipped with best gear will fail in a epic way if they r dropped in a conflict zone different from their peace keeping location without the necessary terrain and climate acclimatization.

eg if u take troops used to sea level level and drop them a high altitude terrain , 90 % will become ineffective ( many will even die ), unfit for battle within 12 hours due to High-altitude cerebral oedema, High Altitude Pulmonary Oedema ,acute mountain sickness etc

AARRRRGHHHH!!? Dan fuq happened to my post? I swear It posted. I'll try again. I'be always been a seeker after the real. From when I was a child I was a voracious reader. Regularly I"d pester parents and adults within shouting distance wanting the answers to mysteries like why grass is green or why stars shine.
By the time I was around eleven I"'d read half the Brittanica series of 1973. Then I met an Austrian family friend who shattered my self education,or rather programming. She told me of her happy glorious childhood in Nazi Austria! I was Ben more shocked when she dismissed my bleating about the holocaust.
6 yrs later an uncle of mine was posted to the UN Iran Iraq observer mission. He returned with some INTERESTING info!! Apatently the Iranians had begun PEACEFUL nuke research in 1984. He was close enough to a senior officer of the Pasdaran, sone call this a Republican guard type unit others an SS equivalent, to have a baby with his niece so I've no problems with his info.
He also told me of his Thai course mate at Fort Sill artsy school in the seventies who lost six feet of intestine to a punhi stake. I researcsearched and found that yes,Thais,Phil's,Aussies,New Sees, S Kors and even undeclared SAS all serred under SEATO,the regional NATO. When is the last time Hollywood mentioned this? Even the Anglos like the Aussies in the Vietnam war.
In the mid nineties I met another Austrian friend of family friends who crystallised my growing suspicions that things weren't as they seemed. He was visiting Nairobi and had known pa Shwarzenegger himself; they were from the same home town. He shattered my remaining illusions about world war two and Nazis!
In 98 I met the grandpa of a Japanese pal who actually served on the Solomons. He told me about the Giants which I'm sorry to say I took for the ramblings of Alzheimer's. I've had a number of such lucky meeting with interesting people which filled me with real knowledge since I've ever been thirsty for knowledge. Maybe I'm a good listener! Maybe I subconsciously attract a certain energy,who knows. The same trait introduced me to my Tutsi doppelganger who told me the real reason they'll never be friends with Hutus; the exact opposite of movie b.s.
Long story short. I travel in the amphitheatre oof the actual,the real world. Cyber space is just a side street for me. I come to learn and share the little I dno do know though I remain an enemy of b.s. which includes posers pretenders and fantasists.

H
ha! There are somethings that can be hidden from the public.... But other things cannot, especially in a small country like ours... You cannot hide a fighter jet! nor can you hide a rotary like Mi-28.. Esp the Mi-28, there is absolutely no strategic reason to keep it a secret... I rem talking to Africaken b4 we officially received the huey II , some days b4 it was announced that they had arrived in kenya, we had already noticed that there were different engines that the sounds we normally hear in the skies.... For me its harder to imagin that possibility than to imagin we don't have any, but its not a secrete that we were interested in acquiring maybe the cost was too much or something... Besides, if we really had them, where were they during eladde?
The somali residents in somalia are so used to airstrikes that they can tell you outright if an airstrike is carried by US or Kenya...


Anyway, I will bring you some article that will continue to fuel that notion of secretly running some 4th gen somewhere in the 254

Mwenzangu,i'm not a believer in things and go strictly by sight,facts and figures. The Havocs aren't at 50 ACB but in Laikipia-yes,they've been seen but they fly higher than usual. You saw my links? El Adde was a special event;a one off,a series of cascading tactical blunders that were so complete not even a squadron of hovering KA 50s would've saved those guys. I can tell you it was field tested simultaneously with the Havoc and the army wanted both but budget realities stuck the KDF with one Havoc squadron of 16.

Fidha254:
Yep, looks like the image, strangely enough SIPRI doesnt have that one , i though they caught most of the arms transfers except for small arms.. Makes me wonder what else they could have missed..

Anyway, looking at the current commander of Kenya Airforce, wonder what he has brought to the table so far, he studied Advanced Air Defence Systems

Dude,you surprise me! Right after you said:

This is Ann Kihagi herself. Sheeeittt!! I've just posted but its not showing-let me try again. Anyway,TayserMahiri,as you know I never lie. This is a typical Kikuyu woman. Money hungry,shady legal issues and ATTITUDE.

"Herrera first brought the suit against Kihagi in 2015, noting that she and some family members began assembling their SF real estate portfolio in 2013 after previously buying a number of building in LA and West Hollywood. They ultimately owned over 50 units in San Francisco, spread across the Mission, Castro, and Noe Valley, and Herrera found proof of a pattern of harassment and intimidation with the end goal of removing tenants who were paying low rent. He says that Kihagi and co. spent $24 million on SF real estate and through her tactics were able to add $8.8 million in value to the properties.

The judge found evidence that Kihagi harassed and wrongfully evicted 23 tenants, and illegally harassed 10 other tenants, one of whom is now dead."

Patches689,henry240,greenandgold,andrewza and fidha254 I've been kicking this idea around for a while. A test of everyone's knowledge of the tactical,financial,political and strategic level. Your task is to establish a Naij/RSA/Kenyan MEU on the USMC MEU lines.

2200 marines under a Colonel

4 M1A1 main battle tank ground
7 to 16 Light Armored Vehicle ground
15 Assault Amphibious Vehicle ground
6 155mm howitzer: M777 ground
8 M252 81mm mortar ground
8 BGM-71 Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missile weapon system ground
8 FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile ground
4 to 6 AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters aviation
3 UH-1Y Venom light utility helicopters aviation
12 MV-22A Osprey medium-lift tiltrotor aircraft aviation
4 CH-53E Super Stallion heavy-lift transport helicopters aviation
6 AV-8B Harrier V/STOL light-attack airplanes aviation
2 KC-130 Hercules aerial re-fueler/transport airplanes
Note: usually maintained in the continental United States aviation
2 Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit logistics
1 LMT 3000 water purification unit logistics
4 Tractor, Rubber Tire, Articulated Steering logistics
2 TX51-19M Rough Terrain Forklift logistics
3 D7 bulldozer logistics
1 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement dump truck logistics
4 Mk48 Logistics Vehicle System logistics
7 500 gallon water containers multiple
63 Humvee multiple
30 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement trucks multiple
5 RQ-21 Stingray UAV aviation

Your governments have decided set up respective MEUs as regional RDFs and spearhead formations. Your marines must be scuba and airborne qualified with necessary assets. Your budget is 2 bn$ +_ 10%,for currency fluctuation and occasional cost overruns with a 5 yr timeline of 400mn% yearly so as not to alarm neighbours. This is a figure all our nations can REALISTICALLY manage.
If you lust for a minisubs,Su 30s and/or Dokdos this task isn't for you. This site is excellent in pricing weapons systems. The Dokdo LHD is 900 mn$,almost half your budget. [img]http://nationsdawnofanera.weebly.com/-amphibious-vessels.html[/img]

Remember every weapon has a purchase price[b] and a maintenance cost![/b] which must be factored into your writeup.

IL-76MD Candid Russia FAC 40 mn$ Annual maintenance 12.5 mn$

IL-76MF Candid Russia FAC 50 mn $ Annual maintenance 12.0 mn$

AN 70 Ukraine FAC 70mn $ Annual maintenance 11.2 mn$

C-295 Spain/Indonesia FAC 35 MN$ Annual maintenance 3.9 mn$

Also,one of anything is NONE! You need minimum two of anything for operational reserve and training. Buying one C17 Globemaster at just under 400 mn$ is nonsensical. This task is actually a lot of work and requires more than scant understanding if you decide to post.eg,what's your arty? How many SPs? Do you need or want MRLSs? WHAT'S THEIR COST?

The Serbian Nora is almost a third of the Swedish Archer at 12.5 mn$,with G6 costing 7.5 mn$ and G6 52 is 10.4 mn$. Factor ammo training costs,since each gun will shot at least 450 rounds 3 times a year.

You need to know the quality of your potential opponents is wayyy beyond BH,M23 or Al Shabab and will include the West and their proxies,including even French in the form of the FFL. You'll need at least short range SAMs,to defend captured towns but not longer range systems which are army purview.
Remember ,also,the US Marines are underarmed in some respects;they lost Fallujah since they lacked heavy APCs needed for all the RPG armed Jihadis. Your platforms must ofc be marine coated which precludes the Hind which lacks a navalised version-make sure your fav platform is navalised!! Nemesis2u,if this gets going can you advise?
Your A/Cs must fly at least 150 hrs yearly. Include salaries and combined training costs for the men as a whole unit.
Who wants to play? Lets do more than post pics! We've done that for years now!

In life things are never as they seem. Narratives more often not deliberately grossly misrepresented and reality is turned totally upside down. The Tutsis did it when their 1990 invasion finally succeeded in 94 turning into a bloodbath when they shotdown Habyarimans's plane,in the process morphing into 'survivors/heroes and angels.'
The Germans were tricked into invading Poland when 60k of their citizens were slaughtered in the Danzig corridor thus starting WW2 and have borne the brunt of defamation,lies and slander ever since. The N Koreans are fellow travellers in the kaleidoscope of false history as Hutus and Germans-yes,they invaded S Korea in 1950 kicking off a US led UN war to expel them but what developed is one of the greatest WAR CRIMES.
Between 10 to 15%,some say up to 20% of N Koreans were napalmed and blown to pieces by the USAF during the 3 year struggle.

How many Americans know that “over a period of three years or so,” to quote Air Force General Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, “we killed off … 20 percent of the population”?

Rusk, who was a State Department official in charge of Far Eastern affairs during the Korean War, would later admit that the United States bombed “every brick that was standing on top of another, everything that moved.” American pilots, he noted, “were just bombing the heck out of North Korea.”

Douglas visited Korea in the summer of 1952 and was stunned by the “misery, disease, pain and suffering, starvation” that had been “compounded” by air strikes. U.S. warplanes, having run out of military targets, had bombed farms, dams, factories and hospitals. “I had seen the war-battered cities of Europe,” the Supreme Court justice confessed, “but I had not seen devastation until I had seen Korea.”

To date,the then US commander Mac Arthur is still much loved and actually advocated use of nukes:

MacArthur, who led the United Nations Command during the conflict, wanted to drop “between 30 and 50 atomic bombs … strung across the neck of Manchuria” that would have “spread behind us … a belt of radioactive cobalt.”

And then there's the small matter of trillions worth of Rare Earth Metals the Anglo Zionists are salivating over.

It has long been known that North Korea sits on top of significant REE reserves, among other minerals, however SRE Minerals’ estimate is significantly higher than previously thought. Theoretically, the discovery could break China’s stranglehold on the REE market, as North Korea would have over six times the amount of REEs as does Beijing. Moreover, environmental regulations and labor conditions would not be a factor in mining them in North Korea, as they are in many developed countries.

The DRC,other source of REM is firmly under their control with Rothschild front,Oppenheimer using his action arm,the SANDF as a personal enforcement arm.
Don't rely on the MSM for the truth on anything.

MikeCZA:
Not really.

He's supported by some country next to Uganda.

He can run but will eventually find himself on the sights of some soldier's rifle. Like others e.g Jonas Savimbi.

He's not inside Uganda. He is using the conflicts in CAR, South Sudan, DRC, Southern parts of Sudan to his advantage. But I believe his in a nice house in one of Uganda's neighbours.

My own info is that he's more of a bogeyman to justify M7 regional depradations. Kony might not even exist;if he does like Shekau he has several avatars proving his role as actor for proxy forces.

253 mn$ for total life cycle of at least 20 yrs operating costs costs incl. ordnance package for 12 light gunships really isn't bad.

newafricaken254:
yes we need attack helicopters but also a scout light attack helicopter.it compliment the attack helicopter as a interim trainer and support role,thats why america after retiring the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior armed reconnaissance/armed scout helicopters is now looking for a replacement.actually KDF rarely confirms airstrikes it carries out,recently after an airstrike almost killed a hundred alshabaab.which the americans denied any role,did we realise it was KAF .

True! The biggest killing was early 2015 when a combined air ground op killed 540. People have no idea how many AS have met the 72 virgins-well over 3K. The biggest battle of the pre Kismayu capture campaign was in Fafadun town in Gedo,IIRC March or April 2012, 300+ AS were KIA in one afternoon.

Henry240:


Why doesn't Kenya just buy a proper Attack Helicopter. Instead of buying all these armed helicopters?

Does this mean the deal to buy the Air Tractors is gone with the winds?


Xbee007, sorry man.

Roles;this is a light scout/attack rotary. Z9 is medium utility that has an attack variant the Z W9,while the Puma and Mi 17 are transport. The MI 28 havoc is a dedicated attack chopper,a pure gunship,for both anti personnel and anti tank. I know pics are best but that can't happen and they're not at the 50 ACB,Embakasi,Nairobi. This one reputable site.

With the delivery of the Mi-28s Iraq has become the third country (with Russia and Kenya) to operate the all-weather, day-night, two-seat anti-armor attack helicopter (whose export version is known as Mi-28NE) destined to replace the Mi-24 Hind in Russian service.

Nemesis2u have you seen the latest offering from Beriev,makers of your excellent Phalcon A50E?

An entire range of multirole amphibs with WIG aspects for MPA,light,medium and heavy lift. Still in production,when the 6 turbofan Be 2500 comes out in a couple of years it'll carry a 1000 T payload with access to most major ports with interesting implications on the future of air sea logistics.

a fake Nigerian GDP is still greater than a real Kenyan GDP , so who are u mocking

Hellz nooo! How effin 'tarded are you?! Fake is unreal,or totally non existant in other words completely fabricated like 3D renders. But you special needs kids don't even understand that! You're even more in poo than I thought,in another world. Stay in your classroom-please!!

arinzeejikonye:
Naija,

IDK what's worse! Your overblown verbiage or your tediously repentant pic spam?! Nigga,pics prove nothing! Give facts and figures! But we Kenyans have given those last year with HDI and also shown your quoted GDP is a bad joke-in other words this is your last resort to convince yourself you're still the "Giant."
