@C.sniper I am use small words to be sure that he understands
@MBS If I had a dog with a face like Mchoraji a.k.a guest, I would shave its ass, and teach him to walk backwards. Cause What he just did is one of the most insanely, idiotic things I have ever seen in the blogging world. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having believed and like it. May God have mercy on his soul.

GERMAN LASER TEST
Last week this thing cut through steel a kilometer away!
http://singularityhub.com/2013/01/07/german-military-laser-destroys-targets-over-1km-away/Then, from a distance of two kilometers, it shot down a handful of
drones as they nose-dived toward the surface at 50 meters per second.
The laser’s radar, a widely used system called Skyguard, was capable of tracking the drones through their descent up to three kilometers away.
Guys,the implications of this technology are literally limitless,but one thing is for sure- star trek is here.
Comments? Cylon,or anyone else?

Havoc Pics
Cut the kid some slack @Flying Crane. Not to deny the weight of his action but the chap would make a great S2 with that nimble imagination, by gawd! Lesson is learn, let him disengage with some honor. I had some words (by PM) with him soon as those pics listed - people, let's move on as gracefully as we can. AHEM! We leave no man behind, including @Mchoraji. We aint Froggies in Marka!
In three years, I have never read @ Fying Crane as sizzling hot is in his last post! I beg I beg, Stand down, man.
When I get express release / consent from a lot higher than my ceiling rafters, I wall plunk here some pics of the Birds - all three categories, Rotary and Fixed Wing. Btw the three Havocs that came in Assembled still have Russian Camo markings but with the expected KDF identity kit - Airframe numbers, Roundels and Formation Name ("ARMY"), and Tail-Assembly National-Flag Plaque. The rest of the Units delivered in crated Knocked-down form are all now in full Camo Conformity.
Two full-strength Attack Squadrons of Havoc-dealers!
@Mchoraji - don't change handles, bro. And don't take cover neither. What is done is done. Stand easy.

Very impressive from the Germans, but still the biggest problem will still be power power power...
The implications of this technology will be great literally changing the way wars will be fought. How can one stop a laser??
The sun will become a stronger tool in the future...

Happy new year gentlemen, apologies for my lengthy absence from the turn-table.
Nice development for the KN in littoral warfare.
@Mjeshi Mmoja, At about 600 tons, 60 metres long, and again in 2016, isn't that a strategic misadventure? Pardon my unpatriotic mode of contact once in a while, just from a layman-ic point of view! hehe!
@F. Crane. There is a vacant hotel room for you in Kismayo-Southern beach. Join me and spare the guest some fresh air! not after-bunners by gawd!

A very good Photoshop the clue is the blue undercarriage which the Russians use.... Kenyan Mi28 will have a slightly light/dark brown color so it can match the terrain. Also the camo is completely wrong
here is the kenya camo study it well
How was such a photo able too fool Risasi,Jasiri and Ole Nakeri????
@cyclone,Look carefully at the cammo on the MD and z9w.Do they really look similar?
Does the cammo for the KAF and 50th etc look similar ? Nevertheless what a hoax!
Such posts might impact negatively on the credibility of the whole blog,no?
It may look the same mainly because the sky is pushing that illusion but the you can tell which is Kenyan and which isn't
Here is a Kenyan Mi-17
Here is a Russian Mi-17
You can clearly spot the difference and if you weren't sure just check the undercarriage of the plane and that will give you your answer...
True @cyclone
All am saying is even the Kenyan KAF Mi 171 (which is regular sight)has a different camo from the Z9,MD,puma, the mi has a lot of brown and so on...I haven't mentioned the Ruskies .Heck even Lanet Trucks have more brown than others.
Where I do no pranksters are allowed.Am piqued and some elders must learn to post
Without insulting poor fellows like myself .What to when your elder bro tells u and ua clan are fake all thru.It can't be.But if he's having a roll Ok.

Re: Kenya Defence Forces (KDF)
What defines militaries and Strategic Defence Initiatives are the Logistics and Communications capabilities which accompany such Institutions. I know you guys have had extensive debates on the logistic stand of the Kenyan forces. What i wanted to talk extensively about is the communications portion of this frenzied conundrum.
I'll rather be question-oriented in order to spur some debate in a need-to-know perspective.
@Ole Nkarei. Is the direct passage of information /instructions/ commands between parties, ...Division-based/ Battalion-based/ Regiment- based/ Company-based/ Platoon-baseeed/ any other smaller division or is it at times individual-based? Sign language and other primitive modes of contacts are highly excluded. I have never in any occasion seen, lets say, a 30th or a 40th commando contacting some fancy sorties with a mouth piece hanging from one of his ears. (Don't concentrate too much on my fictional point of view as such practices exist in Africa ) If you know what i mean. Ain't swaggering or showing-off, but its daring to be great.
Also you can explain more in detail how the SOCOM boys are configured. Everyones' views are also welcome.

Some time back you said a refurbished Italian combatante class frigate was on the way. How far along is it? Or are there any plans for an additional Jasiri type OPV? Did the French finish delivery of the P-400 gunboats? They were retiring them,and IIRC were supposed to sell 5 or 6 but delivered one in around September 2011. Someone was discussing the need for 2 blue water fleets in the future,which I personally agree with.
Your thoughts?Here @Mjeshi could help...a force organised into 2 fleets. One focused
on the coast of Mombasa, Tanzania, Mozambique and DRC in the Atlantic,
i'll call this the Southern Fleet. Another one focused on the coast of
Mombasa, and Somalia (in my estimates the toughest challenge). These 2
fleets should be armed with a mix of 2 LPD's (that between them can
transport a battalion of marines (the KRI Makassar is a good example) 4
frigates (fully capable of land attack), 16 corvettes* (littoral capable
e.g Cigala Fulgosi, Baynunah), about 8 coastal patrol boats (like the
Nyayo and Shujaa class) and about 4 LST's (with a slightly higher
displacement than the Tana and Galana). Now with this set up a Submarine
force is obviously a neccesity, but since this will be primarily for
anti-shipping(which the possibility for a naval war is a bit off),
intelligence gathering. . .4 capable subs will be adequate. Between
them, two fully mechanised Marine battalions. naturally the army will be
resistant to this new powerful navy, therefore a permanent detachment
of air calv from the army should be seconded to support amphibious
operations.

Re: Kenya Defence Forces (KDF)
@Cycoh D - without going into detail.
The whole Comms Net is an intricate Maze structured on several layers which are all segregated / isolated to enhance security and integrity within each level. Bit like interlocked rings, there are intentional overlaps within these Comms layers that Command can 'surf' across if there is need. However even these overlaps are heavily restricted - only specific and very few of the Command Hierarchy / Brass have even the slightest direct access to the Comms Net of the 30th. Most will never even once make any contact with the 30th. It is a little bit relaxed with the larger looser 40th but still restrictive..
Individual Comms Unit for a trooper of the 30th s an Intrusive Ear-piece, a Throat-Mike and a tiny comms set under body armor. The 40th have shoulder-lapel-slung two-way integrated radio-sets which are typical of most Western Army Elite formation. All deployed elements of these two Units have capacity to 'surf' the KDF Comms Net if that become expedient or necessary - Emergency Exfils and CasEvacs, CAS-call, Intel verification, etc.
Once again, the two Units are organized to mirror their "Mother" Units. In Structure, Philosophy, Tactics and Practice, Equipment, Training, Spirit, etc. The 30th after Johnny's SAS (and SBS for our CDU chaps) and the 40th after Sammy's Rangers light Infantry Division. Of course we are not YET at par with these mother Units to the extent that Budgets comparatively influence the Units.
If I haven't quite retired your query, please indicate by PM path.

All deployed elements of these two Units have capacity to 'surf' the KDF Comms Net if that become expedient or necessary - Emergency Exfils and CasEvacs, CAS-call, Intel verification, etc.
Once again, the two Units are organized to mirror their "Mother" Units. In Structure, Philosophy, Tactics and Practice, Equipment, Training, Spirit, etc. The 30th after Johnny's SAS (and SBS for our CDU chaps) and the 40th after Sammy's Rangers light Infantry Division. Of course we are not YET at par with these mother Units to the extent that Budgets comparatively influence the Units.
If I haven't quite retired your query, please indicate by PM path.
Some spiritual insyder kept convincing me that the 30th and the 40th individual mode of passing information, may it be commands, or instructions during formations in a covert sort of theater is highly restricted to the SOCOM commander and maybe the CDF (My universal guess).
I couldn't imagine a situation whereby a 30th detachment in a covert mission, struggling with a radio, trying to adjust aerials in order to match frequencies, further tightening and confirming my expectations.
Now if you will allow me with utmost respect to use "mpango wa kando" so that i can get the remaining 20% after giving my attention to detail, to your well-asserted sentiments as far as Comms in the general Defence Corps is concerned.

It’s a two horse race ODM vs TNA …It looks like ODM will for sure win 2013. (debatable) na vile naskia from my sources is that ODM has promised the west to deliver the country back to johnny and Sammy,s hands away from Mr.Woo where Ole Man took us (my FC-1 )....the country means the whole shopping bag. i.e again western equipment with a promise of upgrading the current ones in storage. Unaona aje? I know its personal decision…lakini trade in.. what are you suggestion blogmates??.. Should we go TNA..OLE man in the background,therefore Mr.Woo utensils UHURUTO will never sit and dine with the west whatever the situation is or should we go ODM and his cousin Barry in white house?
I want to learn more from you blogmates throw in your suggestion, opinion and ideas. Mzee Mogen step forward, Mchoraji watcha hivyo come out and join the party. Jas.

Hehehe! That is Risasi swooping down in his Eagle with both the 30mike-mikes blazing like a Jimmy Hendrix acoustic guitar! Man, all I do is lobe a couple flash-bangers in one political Blog and then watch with glee as the pundits roll about with burst eardrums and bleeding nose carpillaries!
If Jubilee takes it, I suspect Sammy and Johnny will craft some accommodation of sorts with them. There is too much as stake for more players than just Kenyans. And Sammy will not just roll over and allow Uncle Woo free reign all over Kenyana. I think Sammy's purse strings will loosen as the Carrot comes into play.
If Cord takes it, Uncle Woo will have great difficulties surviving in any format in Kenyana. Sammy and Johnny will entrench themselves in Kenya and Kenyana than even during their unchallenged Colonial Epoch
Our task as knowledgeable and educated Kenyans is to find the best deal for Kenya and Kenya in either scenarios. There will be a cost either way. Regardless of who between Sammy and Uncle Woo we get to bed with.
I for one intend to maintain my forward trajectory in Uniform right where I am - so no politics for me beyond these comments.

Re: Kenya Defence Forces (KDF)
As a lay man and a jirani hapa iko maneno..esp. when TNA rides on. The carrot and stick format vise vie “we don,t negotiate with terrorist” ( if you understand what I mean) . Yes its true that US wants Kenyana , kenya being a pin but what more can it do apart from sit on the side for 5years as China or Russia fills in the investment gap created by an UNSC resolution if TNA goes in.
Or else UHURUTO gets thuff and goes the Hugo Chavez way “don’t give a dam about the US " Anyway my opinion; go ODM although M7 despises him , and live more prosper.
Jirani mwema

Re: Kenya Defence Forces (KDF)
Hehe, sorry guys, but this is working against my nerves, actually ain't a personal favourite of mine. I practically live off the "stuff".
But for the record, from a strategic point of view, CORD serves us right.

Apparently it doesn't matter who wins since both Sammy, Johnny, Louis, David, and Woo will each dangle a tasty carrot in-front of us and we will chase after all of them.
Lest not forget uncle woo is currently building kenya...
TNA or ODM they will both sell out to the highest bidder

I'd rather we avoided politics for several reasons:
-the pro political forumers will flock here and turn this place into another mashada
-instead of discussing regional geopolitics we'll be on about TNA/CORD bullshit
-the diehard followers will never leave! Trust me. Threads on OPVs or corvettes will somehow be derailed into RAO manenos. We'll practically have to delouse the place to get rid of them
Kenyana's momentum is building and will be irrevocably stunted if we go back to the Anglos. Their control mechanisms of debt enslavement,remote control & proxy wars are a guarantee to development without progress. For example,imagine if Brits had built the Thika hway;how much would they have charged?
We've gone a decade without buying any major Brit hardware-has the KDF suffered in any way? The West needs to realise they've been outflanked by new realities.

Bwana Crane, I beg to disagree. The two are old socialist-leaning fellows who are wont to accommodate and understand each other, with no appetite for personal beef. Where have you been, it's been love in the air for the past two or so years with these old buddies . We learnt from the Rwanda-Uganda animosity that the cultural, political, economic and geopolitical calculus of both countries leaves no room for personal differences between the leaders. And that was Rwanda to whom we are big bro, what about Kenya? I say we will play ball with whoever comes.

Re: Kenya Defence Forces (KDF)
to be honest Kenyans political system is almost broken.
some of the characters making it through party nominations are just plain thugs.
it amazing when you look at the party lineups produced by the chaotic and shambolic nominations process.
i know where ON leans on this but we shall leave it and watch them POLITICIANS duke it out in march.
i have personally taken two weeks holiday from February 28th so that i can observe the whole fiasco unfold.
LAST time my parents were stranded in western Kenya many days for fear of running into marauding mobs who where targeting motorists traveling between Nairobi and Nakuru headed to and from western Kenya.
i had to organize for them fly to Nairobi via Eldoret airport, leaving their small Toyota corolla 110 in the village...for more than two months.

It's like you knew this one would draw me out, Tom. Just couldn't resist.
Anyway...
I just might be able to understand Jubilee wooing Woo, or indeed Ivan, despite a family tradition of rabid contempt for the two. That veto will make a personal difference to the individuals involved. At a price. Johnny and Sammy would not be amused.
I might also be able to understand Cord cavorting with Johnny and Sammy, despite a family tradition of rabid contempt for the two. Their support for the Resolution, which Woo and Ivan will subsequently veto, will make a personal difference to the individuals involved. At a price. Woo and Ivan may be somewhat bemused.
I find it more difficult, however, to understand the contention that Cord, in embracing Johnny and Sammy, would spurn Woo and Ivan, despite a family tradition of zealous endearment for the two. That is as likely to happen as Johnny and Sammy saying What the heck, pariah state or no, come on board and join the party.
Generally, I'm an optimist but I do play the devil's advocate. So despite my optimism, open your eyes, fellas, and look at Zim.
