.... damn classroom crap that yaps about 'only wishes come true'??..No..Yes..Maybe... PERHAPS.

Hehaha!! I got you bro. This is the real deal, and no protocols breeched yet. Havent you seen these monsters moving about Manda and areas around it yet? Frequently in Mtongwe too.

The Effectiveness of this format is primarily on Advance Recon and Speed of Reaction - ''we see you before you see us and and lit your fuse before you can blink twice and holla''!! It is too late for you when we have crested your hill, bro!

There is a direct CDF gag-order on those Birds. Something to do with complexities of ''third-party sourcing & delivery / post-sale support, etc'', i imagine. But the Black Sharks went home, greate reviews, on those rotaries - probably a later procurement. I will not break protocols especially not those from that high up the brass ladder - I am still youthful and aggressively ambitious, dude! Soon, soon!!

i have been watching the conversation on the capture of kismayo and the amphibious ops conducted by our boys in the 30 and 40th socom, and i cant help but wonder about the naval CDU chaps.. how come they havent taken any part in OLN esp in the amphibious op...

CDU is in the 30th, and name changed. Similar Doctrine and Force Structure to the Deltas. An new SBS created as part of the off-shore short patrols in KDF-Navy - there are some media clips of these patrolling the mangroves and sea inlets of Ras Kamboni to Kismayu, no doubt

I second you on that @Kobooz, definitely.

@ole Nkarei, could you please shed some more light on the militaristic aspect of the Land rover? From our NSIS base in Kwale i sometimes do take my leisure time rooving your neighborhood . The spectacular scenes around, of the 'civilian' Land rovers leaves me puzzled whether it can be used in combat. Its like a glorified 'doria' by our elite 'Utumishi kwa wote'

THIS TOO SOON no way........!!!

WHO is deciding this? its asking kdf to stand down too soon..even before we know for sure alshabab are finished?

You got it wrong,@C.Smiper. It is the UNSC/AU AMISOM mandate that is expirying this end month. The job of pacifying Zoomaliya has just began. Reconstruction of State and Governance Structures and Infrastructure will not begin withoit effective pacification - by an external force, which in this case is the conveniently present AMISOM. Mandate will be extended, under UNSC and AU ambit. With a larger Civilian Policing and a Military Trainers and Observers Component. No fear.

Meantime our ''Live Classroom'' War gaming exercise continues, and now includes a COIN aspect. Paid for in full by the Bazungu - we just hit them with a USD186 Million Bill, which is going to escalate to include replacement and wear-and-tear of equipment used in OLN. And the dithering in allowing procument of aggressor-equipment is gone for good - some interesting reading in the article below about the necessary shift in the American Foreign Policy might illuminate whey Sammy's loin cloths have been loosened lately,

AMISOM will not exit Somalia given the fact that current circumstances still provide Al-Shabaab plenty of space to brood.

Kismayu though a hotbed of clan dynamics that factor the political-militancy in Somalia might be surrendered to Ras-Kamboni and SNA sooner than later as a strategy to identify flaws in governance systems preferred besides help more aggressive efforts to stymie possible insurgency.

Kibaki et al, know that the AMISOM mandate must be renewed to ensure accomplishment of the tasks which include destroying militant cells and their remaining bases, besides source of revenue,arms, and logistics.

Ole-Nkarei,
About aggressor equipment purchases, Manda Bay proves and verifies plenty of previous projections with regard to defense procurement.
Training of the pilots for most of these procurements have concurrently run along the procurement process allowing timely delivery and deployment at both the KDF airforce and the air Calvary.
As put by the x-factor, pilot-less they would be useless hence though tiny deliveries and tests were vital to ascertain compatibility of upgrades and guide-monitoring system at relevant facilities.

I think it is the UNSC /AU



(30+40th RSOF)


Meanwhile KDF has achieved a big percentage of what it had intended to do in Somalia, especially neutralizing Kebabs ability to regroup, other processes and those involved in vital subsequent norms like peace building will easily achieve their goal.

No signal. May be, put the point across the board bro.

saw a tweet from: @jamessmat
"The bodies of 2 KDF soldiers who were dragged in dismay and posted on internet found last night Kismayu"

Can anyone confirm that our two heroes were found last night? At the very least, they must be given a honourable send-off

The story is now in the Standard Online http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000068163&story_title=KDF-recover-soldiers%E2%80%99-bodies

and the tweeting Major confirms that: "KISMAYU RESIDENTS CONFIRM THAT THEY DEMANDED AL SHABAAB BURRY THE REMAINS AS IT WAS NOT SOMALI TRADITION NOR ISLAMIC TO DRAG THE DEAD".

SIN says that Sector 1 is the weakest link in the AMISOM defense chain, is it a matter of difference in war theater or are our Brothers really failing to pull their own weight. [Link not embedding, just read 'intelligence briefs'.com latest article]

That assessment is erroneous, unjustified and unsupported by Military and Intelligence Data. SIN is a useful sounding board for these two Agencies and therefore a conduit for both factual and manufactured Intel. One must consume information from SIN and other similar sites with necessary circumspection and caution.

There is a whole lot of work still to be done in Sectors I Sector II and Sector III. Both Military, Political, Diplomatic, Socioeconomic. Neither more or less in one Sector than another. Obviously there are healthy lessons to be learnt from the campaigns in Sector I & II in the Tactics and Force-structures engaged in both Sectors - for instance the nexus of other Military Elements with Infantry as will as between Intelligence with Planning. There should be no doubts that AMISOM will only grow stronger as the Iron-Fist of our collective political will of EAC-expanded.

Lastly, perusal through a lot of "smart-Intel" type Blogs such as SIN makes certain that there core-data is trolled from these pages. Such as the latest SIN article on "KDF procurement causing regional jitters" or something to that effect. Mention of Kenyana is not even subtle!

@Batian - The Ka-52a has never flown into Africa let alone in Kenya. The 4Units of the Ka-50a Black Shark have since returned home after successful Trials in Kenya. Duplicated Tasking with the Mil Mi-28n makes their procurement kinda superfluous.

How were you able to read that page? SIN has been down for days.

Look at this, i just love it- KAF GADFLY SAM.

Actually, that is an SA-125 Neva/Pechora, NATO designation SA-3 Goa. Very potent system if you asked me, it was the same system whose radar was modified by Col. Zoltan in Serbia to bring down the purpotedly stealth F-17 'NightHawk' in Serbia. And they are quite proliferated in this region (think Ethiopia, Tanzania, UG, Zambia and even Somalia, yes, Somalia had it up to around 1991).

True but from last week SIN was up with old content of course but on 10th October two articles were added.

This pic i believe was taken from Wiki, funny enough there is no accompanying link to prove we have the Pechora.

That system and others like it are a basic accessory for any air defence, although they have been overtaken by technology of ARM (Anti-Radiation Missiles) like the Kh-31p. I am sure Kenya has it.
