 Scar is the 45 version. It is much better than the newer 17 series. In 2000 and part of 2001, my team had the chance to test FN 31 versions at Stony Athi. They wiped off R4, SAR, HK, AK series off the beat. FN 31 was later fine tuned to produce 45/scar-H and 17. And knowing that Ngano project was the brain child of FN mothers, am not surprised of it as the primary toy. It should be embraced at any cost.
The 5.56 version is not going anywhere! Even hunters around here despise that caliber. AK series in the region use that caliber but the advantage of quick rapid fire, portability, easy to handle is all wiped out by FN. Add 7.62 mike mike on it and high cyclic rate, accuracy and kill rate! Halafu...add on a well trained handler into the mix!....ask the 7 guys if they can ever tell the tale. Am sure it was easy pick for those battle hardened mean boys.
In my free time, testing those toys is still my hobby.
Quite frankly, my prayer is for peace on that wonderful region. We need it.

might have got my info all mixed up in this Land forces maneno ..but you were those guys i can bet

  not for KE any sooner but what wrong with it?

Comrade Risasi my main issue with this plane is its limited flight envelope as compared to other probable replacements of the F5. Considering that there is a acquisition trend eastward the J10 might be a better candidate, it would hold its own against an Su30Mk2

RIP,this administration just like the other has put the cart before the donkey on police issues while our military is well kitted.Police just dont just need new landcruiser pickups and Hino trucks for but also armored versions too.


Even some old EX-SA Casspir APCs will suit the NEP terrain perfectly.Yet again we lose officers and the attacks get bolder whats next probably take out an entire police camp or overun a divisional/provincial hq. Turkana and Pokot are Kenyans but when they go on rampage i think KDF needs to properly sober them up

You have to realise and accept that the President is not the Inspector General of police. If the Inspector General is an idiot (too kind a word for the current scenario) then the whole force is doomed. Insiders say that Ndegwa Muhoro the CID boss was to take over but tribal sensitivities prevented him from ascending to the top, as a result the second best (hopefully) candidate became in-charge of our very lives   . Anyway, that is force politics. What does concern me though is that the GSU has been systematically weakened by successive bosses from the cream unit that Ali was building. How for example do we have GSU officers doing normal patrol work at night in urban centers? hii ni ujinga ya hali ya juu! 

@Risasi Hii ni macho ya kijana babaa. I can even spot you hugging the valleys at Longonot while im at fl 120

Dont worry, i can put my balls on a table and give u a hammer in a bet of a Hi-Lo mix in the KAF. That is, if this (sadly isn't) is coming in to replace the Tigers then a pure aerial superiority warbird will come in to provide top cover. e.g Su 30 hi, FC-1 lo.

intel had it lets wait for Risasi to deny or confirm. the Ex-india Su30 were offered to ethopia Kenya and now have ended up in Angola. a batch  of KE  AF pillots were in Russia for that deal. this is not the first time KE grab such pending lucrative deals . a good exampple is the Mi28 that were meant for venezula ,failled to materials the deal KE grab it at a good price . i bet they were doing so for the Su30 , playing wishy washy in order to bring the lot price down.

HOW TRUE HOPE ITS TRUE
The National Intelligence Service of Kenya NIS and the Kenya Defense Forces have conducted a synchronized operation killing and destroying the terror cell that killed 28 people in Mandera bus attack today at 11.00 AM East African time.

Intelligence reports confirm a coordinated air raid is bieng conducted by Kenya Defense Forces fighter aircraft’s inside Somalia mid-morning Saturday in response to the Mandera bus attack.

National Intelligence Services used GPS and Satellite telecoms IP location tracking technology to trace origin of signals generated by satellite phones used by the Al-Shabaab terrorists to coordinate the attack.

Kenya Defense Forces deployed surveillance aircraft’s to the coordinate’s areas. The surveillance aircraft’s reported the exact locations to an Air-Calvary battalion which deployed 2 gunship helicopters to the area before the deployment of the air-force jets.

The signal origins and their transmitters were located and the coordinates of their location passed over to the Rapid Response squadron at the Kenya Defense Forces Laikipia airbase.

The air-raid used precision guided tow-missiles that accurately destroyed resources of the terrorists which included vehicles mounted with gunships besides ammunition and makeshift housing that served as a forward base of the terrorists.

Al-Shabaab have been using satellite phones to avoid detection by mobile phone signal and IP tracking systems.

Most of the terrorists have been killed in the synchronized counter attack operation by the Intelligence services and Kenya Defense Forces.

Increased cooperation between the intelligence services and the military is attributed to better responses to

If there's one department that never went to war it is the Public liasion dept at MoD HQ. After Kismayu was taken, these guys slept. No journos were ever taken back. The effect of that was that, to the ordinary Kenyan the war had been won and it is now time to kick up our feet and swim in the malt. Ukweli ni kwamba, as long as Al-Shabab is out there the war still rages. Sasa Al Shabab has won the propaganda war while old school military generals still insist on secrecy. No matter how much we kill, as long as 1 remains with a laptop, he can successfully manage to bring the fight to our dors, like it is being done in the county of Mombasa. Risasi ambia hawa watu kama wameshindwa they let me do it for them for free.

Ideally such a wall should start at the most porous spots. It has been effective for the Israelis. If the Anglo Leasers did indeed deliver "Project Nexus", a border monitoring system, then it is clearly not very effective or adequate assuming it exists.

Israel's cost per kilometer to construct the fence was $2m, without US funding it would have cost up to $6bn. From 2000-2003, 73 Palestinian attacks took place with 293 dead, 1900 injured. From August 2003-2006 with construction of the first section of the fence, suicide attacks reduced to 12 and 64 dead, 445 injured.

proud kenyan wrote:we are there again! Again i ask,what was the thinking/wisdom behind handing over sectors north of kenyan border to the ethiopians,seeing that most of the terror attacks are originating in the sectors being manned by the ethipians?
as this is a blog that is watched by the brass, why cant we brainstorm on some solutions?
1. A re-classification of security zones in the country,so that the required resources are sent to where they are needed. this would see areas next to the border with somalia classified as a war zone (we declared war against al shabaab,they hide out in areas next to the kenyan border as opposed to areas like nyeri,kisumu etc) as areas in the radius of influence.
2. re-floating of the law establishing the national guard; the ability to lawfully deploy the military without the bureaucracy of going to legislative organs to report their need to deploy internally (sammy has done it to perfection,so much so that the military wore civilian apparel the other day when protests had overwhelmed the civilian security forces.) They can own some armor which can move between them and the military as and when needed, and may even swallow the military commands (especially nairobi command,which has been a bone of contention amongst the political class).
3. Have the prezzie move his political machinery towards approval of the anti-terrorism bill, which would give security agencies the muscle to deal ruthlessely with enemy combatants and their sympathisers. He has the capability to do so.

Lastly the C-in-C should be resolute in using the 'upanga' he was given during his inauguration,and the team of lawyers that came with the constitution,the end product would be for the lawyers to find constitutional ways for the C-in-C to effectively wield his 'upanga' and secure the country.
