A group of Kenyan soldiers(ex-Kenyan military ) fighting for Russia in Ukraine have posted a video. . Can someone translate the Swahili?

Russia is going to be spoilt for choice with the number of Africans willing to fight for them. The money is just too good.

Those are not ex military, but hopeless jobless regular youth driven out of the country by tough circumstances created by the corrupt govt,
Basically accepted their fate as Cannon fodder because of the high pay
Kenyan soldiers are well paid, but they recruit a small number each year, many are rejected.

Authorities said Wednesday's arrest followed a coordinated multi-agency security operation targeting the criminal network, which has been extorting huge sums from desperate Kenyan job seekers.

A total of 22 Kenyans were found in an apartment in Athi River area, "awaiting processing to Russia".

Police said the "mysterious trafficking syndicate" was luring Kenyans with job offers in Moscow, only to send them to fight for the Russian military in Ukraine.

Detectives said the victims revealed they had signed contracts with an unnamed overseas employment agency, committing to pay up to $18,000 (£13,000) for visas, travel, accommodation, and other logistics.

Some of the victims also indicated that they had already paid deposits of $1,500.

I doubt they are well paid enough to resist a $3000 a month paycheck. Not even the Nigerian army gets paid that much.

Fidha254:
They pay over $3000 to legally get visas to work in Russia as low skilled professions such as security guards, factory workers etc. only to end up being recruited to fight on the front lines.

Lurker4Long:
Lithuanian Taurus Not Related to Paramount Products and Infringes Copyright

The South African company Paramount Group has accused Lithuanian Aurida of copyright infringement and illegal copying of the design of the Marauder armored vehicle.

It is about the Taurus model, which Aurida presented as its own development, Paramount International Communications Director Nico De Klerk told Militarnyi.

Paramount’s legal team has already sent Aurida an official letter of claim. In it, the company demands to immediately cease all copyright infringing activities, including the production, display, marketing, sale, import and export of the Taurus armored vehicle.

In addition, Aurida has to remove all information about Taurus from public sources – websites, social media, catalogs, exhibition stands and other materials – within 24 hours of receiving the letter.

If the company fails to comply within 7 days, Paramount threatens to take tough legal action. These include a lawsuit for copyright infringement, unfair competition, and misleading consumers.

Paramount also plans to inform the relevant supervisory and regulatory authorities about the situation. We are talking about both Lithuanian and South African structures.

As a last resort, the case may be referred for criminal investigation. Paramount is ready to contact the law enforcement agencies of both countries.

The TAURUS armored vehicle prototype was first presented in early September 2025 at the MSPO exhibition in Poland.

The vehicle is built on the basis of commercial components that are modified for military use. In particular, it uses a 6.7-liter Cummins engine with a capacity of up to 480 hp, a ZF gearbox, axles from Axle (Exels) and Meritor, etc.

As stated, the company in Lithuania performs up to 80% of all machining and manufacturing of the armor steel hull, as well as the final assembly of the armored vehicle.

The armored vehicle is protected according to STANAG 4569 Level 3 – it can withstand 7.62×51 mm armor-piercing bullets and an anti-tank mine with the equivalent of 8 kilograms of TNT under the wheel.

It is capable of carrying 7 troops and can be optionally equipped with a combat module.
