Military corruption explained! From the ministerial policy level incl Generals down to the effects on the unit level.

How a mere 10% cost inflation can cost 10x down the line. Everyone should watch it TWICE! Saffas, with their developed arms industry, Naijjans and Kenyans who've begun building MRAPs and small arms will all find relevant info.
The vid is about Russian corruption but this ishyt happens ALL OVER,though tbh it was perhaps worst at the breakup of the FSU: Lord of War type f'ery where armour and gunships walked off bases actually happened to the tune of 30 bn $ worth in 1990 dollars, today easily TWICE that.
Someone close to me was once a mid-level player at one of the biggest US arms makers and told me HALF their time was spent meeting ethical checks and balances instead of designing new systems !
So when Rummie says trillions of dollars are missing from the DoD ( btw, whatever happened?) its the Highest echelons of the Global Elite responsible.
Edit: turn of the T.V., ignore the 'Gram and SM as you watch with a pen and paper to take notes!

That's some firepower.
Enemy will surely think twice

kabe1:
33 T-72 Tanks, that's not bad. The Tank numbers begin to look respectable when you add the Vickers MBTs in KDF service.

It seems Al-Shabaab is now a spent Force, lacking in capabilities to conduct operations in any significant scale?

Are there any news on military equipment procurement from Kenya? Apart from the C-27J aircrafts I don't think we've seen any other significant purchases.

Huh, the amount of tank turrets lying besides highways in Ukrain made me think our numbers are ridiculous even if we had 500 still wouldn't be enough... Or maybe we should invest more on ATGMs?

Yes alshabaab is definitely a spent force, back then their propaganda videos were actually scary, they almost looked like a conventional army without tanks or an Airforce or a navy. They numbered between 16k to 20k... Now estimates put them btn 6k to 10k after replanishing their numbers with new recruits who grow scanty everyday and have less training.. Infact the only thing that has kept them going was the influx of money and bomb experts from m.east who introduced new ways of making cheaper but more powerful IEDs including VBIEDs, this is what has been keeping them afloat, the IEDs do maximum damage with minimum force, then they spen the rest of the time studying and planning their next one time big large scale attacks to remind everyone they are 'still powerful'. We have reached a point I don't even think the rest of alshabaab needs an army to defeat them, AMISOM has won the ideological war, we don't need to fight them anymore, what we need to do is build roads, factories, hospitals and train their civil servants and civilian police to run local administration... Once people start getting paying jobs, youths would see alshabaab as the ones holding them back and not their saviours.


On military procurement, apart from the At-802u light attack aircraft, there isn't any major purchase that's on my radar.. I think Kenya put a break on major purchases because of the huge loans we took for the country's infrastructure, there just isn't any room to justify that kind of spending for the military, parliament would never aprove. Instead the military has been concentrating on low hanging fruits like enhancing local manufacturing for uniforms, boots, ammunition, rifles, military rations, improving training programs.. Bettering Soldier personal protection (it's very rare to see a soldier on the frontline without body armour today, it used to be be common occurrence in the past) We have also seen significant investment in soldier welfare systems... like housing, family support through education and medical cover for dependants , life insurance for soldiers KIA etc

Stargate254:
They were meant for S.Sudan, Then the ship got hijacked by Somali Pirates back then, then the ships manifest was revealed to everyone by the pirates and it became an international incident...
With Kenya risking being exposed for breaking an amrs embargo that had been put in place by the US on Sudan for supporting Bin Laden and Alqaeda , Kenya had to save face by pretending publicly that the tanks were meant for Kenya and not S.Sudan...
So long story short, The tanks got stuck with us or is it we got stuck with the tanks ?

The funny thing though is that the CIA knew that we were secretely facilitating the arming of SPLM (the CIA even participated in the training of SPLM on how to use these weapons) to enebale them defend themselves against khatoum govt in the fight for self rule but when it was exposed by pirates, the US threw Kenya under the bus, their state department was even considering sanctions against Kenya and Ukraine... But the US Congress investigation is what revealed the truth about US involvement, and in the end they had no choice but to develop selective amnesia and forget the whole thing.

Fyi, an insider informed me there were 2 crews involved in the MV Faina hijack incident- one who took down the ship and another Somali gang who controlled the entire process after the 1st team departed.

Meanwhile, in Mozambique.
SA Special Forces and Mozambican Commandos.

Tunisian Terrorists are very cheesy, they don't barricade their doors.
