India has handed over a second licence-built Dornier 228 maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) to Seychelles in a ceremony held on 26 June at Air Force Station Palam in Delhi.

Visiting Seychelles President Danny Faure, who received the aircraft’s airworthiness certificate from Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, was quoted in an official statement as saying that the gifted MPA, which was licence-built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, will “amplify our capacity to conduct maritime surveillance over our extensive Exclusive Economic Zone of 1.4 million km²”.

He pointed out that the platform, which had been promised to the country by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in March 2015, will join the first Dornier 228-202 aircraft that had been similarly donated to the Seychelles Air Force in 2013. “This first Dornier has been assisting the Seychelles Coast Guard in rescue operations, air surveillance and securing our EEZ,” said the president during the ceremony.

Faure said the new Dornier “will fly to Seychelles in time to participate in the 42nd anniversary of our Independence”, adding that this “will be a proud testimony of India’s devotion and commitment to the People of Seychelles”.

Senior Indian officials told Jane’s on condition of anonymity that the aircraft donation had acquired a “more urgent dimension” in light of the rescinded deal for India’s military base.

Seychelles recently revoked an offer that would have allowed India to construct and operate a military base on one of its islands and boost its presence in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

During a 4 June press conference Faure had said that the 27 January agreement signed with New Delhi to develop and operate such a base on Assumption Island would “not move forward”.

Actually now it seems the lease will move forward with certain changes

EMW01:


I hope that a serious audit of the military is conducted because despite the increase in allocation there is no major weapon systems that have been acquired. Most of the acquisitions have been donations from friendly countries. I suspect that serious graft and corruption is likely to be uncovered.

If you wanna know which ministry is more corrupt just read the Auditor Generals report. .. Of all the ministries and state departments, DoD looses the least amount of money relatively speaking... I am however curious to know what they have done with their "modernisation kitty" apart from the change from G3 to M4 cabine I haven't seen any significant purchase. ..maybe they are saving up for something. .. The police have just bought 4 new choppers with their modernisation kitty from lzst year and a year b4 that rhey bought some 40 APCs

Kenya police 3 choppers and one trainer. purcharsed for $40m

Imo,the Zim and Addis attacks involved the same perps! Its extremely unlikely different guys used the same MO,a small bomb on the same day,in the same way,at a public rally. I actually think a message was being sent to Africa-we can get you anytime,anywhere,anyhow! Those small bombs could just as easily have been truck born IEDs or micro nukes like those used at the embassy bombings. Fyi,the 98 Nairobi bombing actually registered as a seismic event at Uni seismic equipment.
It may not actually be the usual suspects behind both attacks and I can't speculate beyond that. Nemesis8u,what say ye? Those who say we spend too much on African prez security,where are you?

Idk why I didn't post this up earlier when I've said repeatedly myself ALWAYS CHECK THE DATES WHENEVER THESE THINGS HAPPEN!! Specifically Jewish and Satanic holidays. The belief system of our Global Elites has nothing to do with Islam,Christianity/Judaism/Hinduism/Buddhism or any known religion. Its much older and much darker as can be seen by studying the dates of mass murders and/or terror outrages like Paris or Garissa uni 2015.

Looking up June 23rd on Satanic holidays,lo and behold!

"6/21 First Nation’s Day - Canada
6/21 Summer Solstice (orgies, blood)
6/21 Rituals of the Elements and Feast of the Times
6/23 Midsummer’s Eve
6/23 St. John’s Eve Fire Festival"

The Global Elites,Illuminati believe syncing traumatic events with such dates allows access of negative energies due to planetary alignments leading to greater power both emotionally and financially over others.

Russia’s new Pantsir-SM air defence system spotted in Algeria

The new generation of Russia-made combined short to medium range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery weapon system Pantsir-SM has been seen in a video attributed to the ‘Sakhr 2018’ exercise carried out by the 36th Motorised Infantry Brigade in the 2nd Military Region in northeast Algeria.

The Algerian Ministry of National Defence released video showing exercises with new Russian Pantsir-SM missile system. The distinctive characteristic that new air defence system is fitted to a new 8×8 K-53958 “Tornado” truck chassis with an armored cab.

The updated modification of the air defense system will supposedly exceed the existing one in efficiency. In particular, it is set to be equipped with a new high-speed missile, while the range of target detection and destruction will double.

The Pantsir-SM variant incorporates a multi-functional targeting station, increasing target detection range from 40 to 75 km (25 to 47 mi) and engagement range from 20 to 40 km (12 to 25 mi). The system also uses a new high-speed extended range missile.

That's surprising.

kenya police airwing helicopter fleet will eventually number 11,they are await two more helicopter.my suspicion is most of this crushes are likely human,kenya airforce has bought both chinese and russian helicopters and soon after lost one of those choppers.afterward there has always being claims that those choppers were inferior or secondhand.but i have come to conclude this was due to poorly experienced helicopters.considering the high level of nepotism among security apparatus,this has to be the issue.also consider most african militaries source ab initio training from abroad and soon after required the pilot to fly a helicopter.which he/she isn't type rated to fly

i just hope this is what kenya is acquiring

They must have been de-bussed. VBCI's look like they only have superficial damage. Modern 8x8's can take a hell of a punch from exterior explosions.
We had Ratels take 120mm mortar rounds to the roof without penetrating, so I don't see that vehicle taking any casualties from VBIED's unless they're absolutely massive.

According to USAF experience the C-27 is more expensive to run than the C-130, and has more limitations.

No one in their right mind should buy them

I really don't like the design.

Does it have a gun? 30 or 25mm?
