Kenya Wants To Purchase A $26 Million Missile Defense System From Israel by Morbeta11(op): 1:44pm On Jul 04, 2025
Kenya ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช wants to purchase a $26 million missile defense system from Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ


The image depicts a Spyder missile defense system, a mobile Israeli-designed surface-to-air missile platform, which Kenya plans to acquire for $26 million to counter aerial threats like drones and ballistic missiles, a strategic move amid rising tensions from groups like Al-Shabaab in the region.

Kenya's decision to fund this purchase partly with a $43 million loan from Israel, as reported in parliamentary budget documents from May 2025, reflects a broader military modernization push, despite recent domestic protests highlighting economic struggles and government spending priorities.

Recent events, including Iran's October 2024 missile attack on Israel with 200 ballistic missiles, underscore the system's relevance, though critics question its effectiveness against advanced threats, given Israel's own defense challenges during that incident

https://x.com/AfricanHub_/status/1941033888408916095?t=GWEZd5zuKdR6S7xzUbcNxw&s=08[/quote]Kenya just bought an expensive toy shield or doing marketing for the military hardware that has since been demystified by Iran.

Does the Al shabaab gang fire missiles? They don't so why does same Kenya that the citizens recently protested for lack of jobs amidst high taxes now need to waste money on something worthless?

It's in the article. Defending against drones from Al-Shabaab Islamic militants.

Nigeria shouldn't wait until Bokoharam and their allied forces acquire drones from Iran and other Islamic terrorists.

Who cares, let it cause whatever grumbling and murmuring. Kenya know what is good for them and they have gone for it. As it stands today Israel is a formidable nation militarily and no nation can ride them. God bless ISRAEL.

Iron dome?... Is see someome applauding iron dome for the just concluded affair with Iran.. Is shameful though... How can U.S and Israel a.k.a all-of-Nato join hands to bombard Iran?.. Is like cult boys attacking a home... Is only a matter of time and the game will turn around... I see u all are still supporting the West who do not have your best interests at heart... Even as your smartphones can clearly summarise your life in seconds and store you data in redshift warehouse.. Most of the world is like muppets to U.S now due to iOS, Android and Windows data combing... Sorry lot

Re: Kenya Wants To Purchase A $26 Million Missile Defense System From Israel by Babangidapikin: 7:01pm On Jul 04, 2025
Israel forcing them to buy ..Is it not the same Kenya that there is riot .. I don't think that is a priority, because what happens now is anonymous groups would start funding terrorist cells across Africa to be throwing small missiles and drones... Rather than a defense system get a missile launchers.

Abeg Nigeria DOES NOT need it. It might most likely end up in the hands of the same people they you mentioned.

Lest I forget, HellAnus and co, where are the Tucano jets you celebrated then?
