My thinking is they should also switch to (intelligence led) guerrilla tactics, have a squads of elite recce units numbering like 100 members.
Their sole purpose would be to ambush, raid and target gang leaders or large gatherings of gang members preferably in the middle of the night where they would have tactical advantage and then leave right away.

400 police officers is to few a number , therefore, guarding buildings, installations and VIPs should be left to Haitians, MSS sole purpose should be going after gangs. Then the elite unit I talked about should only target high ranking gang members... Then there should be a separate team of detectives and intelligence agents who are looking into disrupting smuggling routes of weapons and drugs from US and other countries.

Exactly

Although I don't think much progress will happen in restoring Haiti ,our officers biggest win will be gaining experience in urban warfare.

Damn, I had not really been interested in finding out more about Haiti's problem... But after watching this documentary, I just realized the scale of Haiti's problem. It's way bigger than I thought. This problem required a very big multidimensional solution..
Unless there is a plan to rebuild roads, water supply pipelines, garbage collection, training of civil servants, industries that employ thousands, end pilferage and bad governance, ... The root cause of the problem will not be solved.

After ECRAF failed i realized some nations are beyond redemption.

GOK has lost footing on its propaganda front. This shift have long-term implications for Kenya’s political landscape.Whats is remaining is a catalytic event.

The recapture of Port-de-Paix port is seen as a crucial step towards restoring normalcy in the country’s economy, as it is a key entry point for goods and supplies.

Cryptography is a highly specialized field,in the intelligence world .Apparently there are prominent experts working for NSA who hail from kenya.

Sir Neo Roggi Joseph Rogern Branson, an individual whose accomplishments and influence in cryptography and technology are extensively documented on various blogs. According to these sources, Sir Neo Branson is a highly skilled cryptographer and technologist who has made significant contributions to global technological advancements, including the development of the Global Networks Systems Encryption Server Technology (G.N.S.E Server® Technology), which enhances real-time surveillance and data synchronization across global networks.

Protesters cheer KDF as they patrol Nairobi CBD.
Comradeship that was noticed between Gen z and the KDF officers sent shock waves to the narcissistic top dog.KDF were suddenly ordered back to base .Ruto would have easily dethrone himself by letting the military off the barracks.

KDF units have been put on high alert to protect critical installations like in Nairobi.

Protests are all well and great, but when you burn down your parliament and institutions of state, it is still Kenyans that will pay to rebuild it.

The coming 48 hours will be defining moments for Kenya. There is so much going on right now i just pray we don't descend into anarchy as some revolutions eat their own children.

The real problem though is that the government was caught off-guard .The Intelligence failed and they have now exposed the presidency.it is reported that there is a disconnect between Ruto and National Intelligence Service(NIS).

At a certain National Security Council ( NSC )meeting in the statehouse, the Director General (DG) NIS provided a situational status report to the president who was carried by rage because of the FACTS highlighted and assaulted the DG NIS. The late CDF Ogolla immediately evacuated the president and contained the situation. From that date NIS briefs are often done through a junior NIS officer attached to the statehouse. The president relies more on the briefing from Amb Monica Juma (National Security Advisor )
who is an agent of the CIA. This is what has killed and undermined institutional capacity of the agency to discharge its mandate. Ruto illegally made her a member of the NSC where she acts as the secretary, a role traditionally reserved for the Attorney General. The whole problem boils to one

The incompetence and impunity of Ruto.He simply refuses to listen .

KDF is rarely deployed internally. Yesterday after the police were overrun there were requests made for reinforcement but Kdf leadership stayed put and didn't deploy.The cabinet secretary Defence then issued a statement purporting that they have been deployed but the kenyan constitution doesn't allow deployment of the KDF without the approval of parliament . I just love the discipline of the KDF

What's happening in Kenya btw? Kenyans in the house @ntsa

Article 1 of the kenyan constitution : All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution.
People donated power and they are taking it back . My only prayer is that we don't dissolve into Anarchy

What conventional capabilities do you think the Nigerian Navy should invest in?

I think USV (unmanned surface vessels), Coverttes / small missile armed ships and an additional LST.

I don't see any need for Frigates.

I would go for something that compliments the logistics of the land forces maybe 3 additional LSTs ,dedicated Helicopter carrier and plus amphibious Tanks. I think this can make Nigeria play a bigger role in regional security .

Guys I don't want to escalate this debate further, I will agree to disagree.

davefurn:
They are improving at a rapid pace from what I'm seeing. Also air defences are trained, you don't use s400 for a drone threat. It's a long range defense system. Patriot early days in Saudi Arabia during the Iranian drone attacks also failed. It's the pac3 type patriot missile that was perfected

Russia's performance so far has certainly challenged its reputation as a major military power.

GreenandGold:
The things we have been saying all along.... Russia/Soviets are/were never great at war, the only reason why they even won against the Nazis was all thanks to the Allied Forces pounding on the western front and the relentless air bombing on the Nazi infrastructure, otherwise Adolf would have blitzkrieged Stalin to Japan.

I mean, look at their latest offense in the north east of Ukraine, they throw in 3 tanks, a few unlucky drunk dudes on top of APCs and just pray to St Peter for the best (only to be taken out by POV drones)... The only good thing the Russians have going is artillery.

Fighting on multiple fronts is arguably hitlers biggest mistake.

Exactly. 2 descriptors of Russia that I've found to contain some truth, after multiple visits over a decade:

1) "Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) with nuclear weapons";

2) "A gas station with a government".

Well put

Kenya police recently acquired the South African DCD Protected Mobility Spring buck armored personnel carriers.The Chinese Norinco units we had acquired earlier were ironically very susceptible to IEDS and even couldn't withstand RPG fire according to some police reports.

An excerpt from a book am currently reading.
Its February 1856 and a peace treaty is signed .By the treaty Russia gained nothing from two and a half years of war.Her influence in the Balkans was reduced .The position of power and respect that Russia had enjoyed since 1812 had been challenged.Many of the Tsars people felt very bitter about this blow to their pride......
It was the sort of war that neither side could win .Bravery, endurance and Heroic death were all wasted in this pointless conflict.

Most likely Russia exaggerates the S-400's effectiveness .In my opinion Russias only bargaining chip in the great power competition is its nuclear capabilities.

Tanzania on the other hand has been operating SA_3 and SA-6 SAM systems for quite some time .

There have been reports that kenya is seeking funding to acquire a New Advanced Air Defense System, specifically SPYDER from Israel.This will be a major addition to our inventory if the acquisition goes as planned .
https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/kenya-taps-israeli-loan-for-upgrade-of-air-defence--4611290

For the longest time kenya have been using a mixture of radars installed at various FOBs plus some old mistral and Hawk Rocket Systems complimented with several manpad systems and anti aircraft guns

Back in 2011, when Uganda acquired the SU-30 fighter jets, there were calls for Kenya to respond by acquiring a powerful air defense system or advanced fighter aircraft to maintain regional balance. However, military strategists didn't prioritize such capabilities.Kenya might have judged the likelihood of conflict to be low enough that acquiring matching capabilities Wasn't necessary, which might suggest the plan is always to address situations before they reach the level of needing fighter jets.
