Would you know what the trucks in the picture are used for ?
Tactical mobile communication center?

Plus the one in the background.

Nemesis4you:
Not sure but could be radio relay stations

If so one possible application could be if that vsat terminal is nearby than it could take the sat feed and push it through the relay for dessimination over the last mile networks

Would you know what the trucks in the picture are used for ?
Is it a tactical mobile communication center?

"Send off Ceremony of two (02) SAMIM members who passed on at Nkonga Village in Nangade District, Cabo Delgado Province of the Republic of Mozambique. The send off ceremony of Sergeant Musa Mpondo from United Republic of Tanzania and Lance Corporal Zikamee Kamai from the Republic of Botswana was held on the early morning of 01 December 2022 at Pemba Airport. After the ceremony, the mortal remains were repatriated to the United Republic of Tanzania and Republic of Botswana respectively. The CASA 212 from Botswana Defence Force repatriated the mortal remains of Sergeant Musa Mpondo to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania while simultaneously the C27J (Spartan) from Zambia Airforce repatriated the mortal remains of Lance Corporal Zikamee Kamai to Botswana. May the souls of these fallen heroes rest in eternal peace."

Seems like the Sadc countries have very elaborate drills for Military Funerals

shadowprimezero:
Really happy to see that the military has updated its doctrine. Great video

What is Nigerias army doctrine if I may ask?

Stargate254:
There is a KDF SIGNALs company deployed in DRC for both EACRF and MONUSCO-QRF troops respectively.

Their job is to make sure all forms of communication are available 24/7 i.e Video, data, radio.. etc
Some of those trucks you see in the convoy that went through Uganda posted by @NTSA are mobile towers that will be stationed strategic areas to ensure all vehicles and personnel within the theater of operation can communicate effectively without needing to use long antennas mounted on the vehicles.

I've been trying to google for the pictures that showed the mobile towers during the pre-deployment ceremony but after 10mins of searching I gave up, this is the best image I could find.

it's like most of the comms equipment is always netted with a camouflage net.

Lurker4Long:
I don't understand this answer. Surely Logs vehicles should always be in Comms reach?

by saying he didn't see any comms on the vehicles I guess he meant those long antennas found on MRAPs plus I also guess the logistics guys were still communicating effectively through secure military radio channels.

Tinfoil:
Juicy ambush target

Seems like the term motorized infantry is alien to you ....but I will let you be .

IGpro1:
I'm not seeing comms on your vehicles

I think they are just basic trucks carrying ammo, food rations, etc

Kenya Army Logistics also arrived in Goma via road through Rwanda sending a strong message to their funders

Stargate254:
Alot is going on at the same time

The have accepted some terms of the ceasefire and are now requesting for a meeting with the peace process mediator and facilitator who is Kenya's former president H.E Uhuru Kenyatta.

Rumor has it that kdf special forces operators may have ambushed a convoy in Rugari, well behind the enemy lines, M23 bagged 10 of their top leaders yesterday. This is a perfect reality check for those M23 rebels they won't know what hit them.

Rwandans also facing the music.

kabe1:
It seems the KDF have replaced almost all their G-3 rifles with the Scar-L and some AK-47s.

specifically SCAR- H (heavy) 7.62 X 51 same round as the G 3 but the scar weighs less and has better egornomics.

gear box installation

Kns shupavu was previously built to civilian standards in 1997 and entered service in 1997. It was armed with a 76mm and a 30mm guns locally in Kenya.
It will be interesting to see the type of armament that will be installed this time..however rumor has it that we are working with southKorean missile systems or something of the sort.

Kenya QRF under MONUSCO

Just googled the distance from Beni to Goma congo is really huge.

Stormtrooper11:
You guys really take care of your troops. From welfare, to proper kitting and very good rifles. Big ups to the Kdf leadership. There is no doubt that you have the most effective troops in East Africa only Rwanda I think comes close.

Not all barracks have a huge canteen like this...but most are being modernized under Defence Forces Canteen Organization (DEFCO)

Well it is a separate field of study from mechanical engineering...
And I didn't mention thermodynamics fluid mechanics.

Astrophysics is a subunit of general physics but astrophysics is an entire course on it own.

Now you understand?
Dumb Kenyans as always

We also study fluid dynamics in structural and civil engineering not as as a separate course but as a sub-unit within the course .... however you can specialize and do research in fluid dynamics at higher levels .like I said most of these units are interdisciplinary....once you specialize at a specific area at master's or PHD level then you can be a specialist in that field.

Just40:
I'm saying robotics and you're also mentioning mechatronics... What's wrong with you Kenyans?


Mechatronics doesn't come close to
Treating robotics

As I said robotics is a subset of mechatronics engineering....our universities are even advancing to Nano-Sciences, Material Science, and New Production sciences.
The Kenya Institute of Nanotechnology (KIoN) is in advanced stages of being setup fully equipped with level 3 bio-safety labs.

A plasma cnc robotic arm made right here in Nairobi Kenya

Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers (SBCs) made in kenya

Just40:
Which Kenyan university offer robotic engineering course or fluid dynamic courses, plasma surface engineering , materials and fluid flow modelling?

Very few Kenyans make it to ivy league schools ... Those non ivy league schools are majorly better than any uni in Kenya and offer superb programs.

Being the best can look like this

Please Ghanaians and Nigerians on this thread stop arguing with starving Kenyans. Even warzone Ukraine giving them free food.

Stormtrooper11:
No, instead I believe the Naval forces of the world are on a fast rise and advancement. Major naval operations and battles are expensive. In fact, the Navy has the most expensive materiel and equipment. Therefore, to launch these kind of operations require a major country with funds and quality maintenance and tactical ability, something that only a few countries can afford especially in the African region.

Maybe we can look at it from this angel..since the year 2000 there has only been 18 major incidences of naval warfare...and if we look further into the details they are just low level crashes here and there.
