I can see why SA-AF really wanted the Airbus A-400M it was a great leap forward to bad the Europeans disappointed them but I hear they are looking to acquire the C-295 guess we have to wait and see.

Douglas C-47TP Dakota

With 6 of such birds on the air you can virtually wipe out any air force in sub-Sahara Africa and get per with North African AF’s that operates earlier model of US/Russian based fighters which only engage one target at a time.

the bird is a true superiority fighter

You need a squadron and better yet a group before you can start to make such comments.

@UZI - your 'need to know' is not Absolute, man. No matter how romanticized it has become, out our rights' awareness. Each country faces unique security challenges from the threats it is combating and the capacity it has to combat those threats with. Israel cannot be a benchmark (yet) for our comparison but a ideal for our aspirations, on matters of security. And that is process that runs a timed course.

You guys will have your toys soon enough. It would be treasonous for your planners to sit on their laurels while you have MiG-29s and SU-27s to the north (and Btw, Ethiopia is more likely to go to war with Ke than Uganda) and SU-30s to the west. But until dad unwraps the toys, I for one would find it prudent to remain silent.

All this maneno about how it's not possible for an SU-30 to track and engage whatever is uncalled for and at the very least smacks of sour-graping. We all know Ke is by far the richest country in EA and it's only a matter of when, not if, it will modernise its airforce.

Eeeish, Ndungu #Kenya! There are no Russian Fighter Craft in LAB Wajir Mombasa Manda Eldoret or anywhere in Kenya neither expected!

its not personal all missile guidance system operate in that way when in close proximity. once a channel has been engage you just have to wait until the missile strike home before using it for another target.however it is possible for two missiles ride toward the same target usingcoordinates that are being broadcasted on that frequency.
