this is not a missing man formation. this how a missing man formation looks like

this formation indicates that the missing pilot is dead.

Corruption is corruption court martial on the way. According to standard news paper
three senior officers — a Major General, a Brigadier and a Colonel — would in an unprecedented move be court-martialled soon over claims of involvement in another scandal which involved raising invoices of payments involving millions of shillings without attaching the requisite documents.

A friend of friend tells me that they were Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) but type of Category is still unknown

If they are South Africa they should be like this one by the UPDF.

sisal makonge This is what I deduced.
Five firms were bidding to supply the Amour corps with MRAP Category 1 4x4 (MRAP-MRUV)
The Mine Resistant Utility Vehicle (MRUV) are smaller and lighter apc, designed for urban operations

Paramount Group, SA

Collectively these vehicles are called the Nemo Land Forces System. The firm also offers peace keeping solutions.

Mechem Technologies (PTY) Limited SA

I see a TATA ensign guys. india ??? shouldn,t we be alarmed?

Brig. Awour has ditched us. TATAs !!!

Basically what OTT does is build or modifying MRAP-MRUV based on your budget requirements. it doesn’t own a vehicles or brands apart from the armed shell for the apc. give it your budget and it will get you a chassis and engine to fit in. The outward appearances will look the same but the chassis and engines are different. So it might not necessarily mean Kenya would have got the TATA versions.

Ohh now I get the point.

your turn man .. Risasi what the take on the new cats

My kenya brothers I have been following this debate in silence. Its an open secret that Uganda is making pace for yhe Kenyan Military. A good example are the MRAP vehicles. We the Uganda defence force operated the MRAP vehicle for the last 10 years. its now a new item for your country Updf has the Nyala RG31 similar to the ones used by the US miltary in the gulf. The tables have turned UPDF is now the leader in the region.

@flying crane welcome to the forum i guess you are from Ug. Give us more info related to UPDF.
@Risasi hee bwana gives some update on the Tiger story. mmJeshi did his input on the APC saga you should also do the same to keep the brotherly spirit up. Ama what do other members suggests. Privileged son asked about the a new trainer aircraft on his post on Mon Oct 25, 2010 6:00 pm and you never answered him back. Vipi bwana uko?

nashikika bwana lazima tuelewe I have also other pressing issues apart from the blog. The blog is a passing time event. For all those who feel offended for my lark in response I apologies I will be on air the soonest. Bare with me tutacheka zaidi.

The picture posted by the prevleged son is not a new trainer. its an EX-KAF fighter knowns a Strikemaster Mk 87.

The Strikemaster Mk 87 and the hawker hunter (see below) worked in pairs like the Hawk and the F-5.


kiboko ya mSomali during those times

it is not uncommon for aircrafts to experience problems after major services or overhauls. The F-5 in question was a F-5F (trainer). to avoid any delays in training, parts were exchanged from another F-5. this again is also not uncommon in the aviation industry esp. when time is of essence. New parts will be order and the “cannibalized” fighter will be reinstated to it previous mode. These were precautionary measure in respect for the aircraft and its crew.
