MikeCZAR: Russia has never put Much in to stealth. Simply because stealth is not really stealth. Russia puts lots of FLIRs on there fighters that can pic up a stealth fighter. The stealth fighter can't use its radar and Russian can't see it on there's. But that FLIR viva the Russian an edge. Where the west is ahead electronics. Of course Russia is ahead in other ways. Ruusian ERA is the best and there tanks have tube launched ATGMs that allow them to fire well out of the range of western tanks. Western tanks though have more armour (but are all most 20 tons heavier) Russia all so as great MRLS Russian stuff all so needs less maintenance except for the T80 that gas turbine engine is a problem. If there is one thing I like from Russia it is there new heavy IFV and APCs. |

In line with military tradition adopted a while ago (an officer from one of the three services takes charge on rotational basis ), the president said he was not going to interfere with it, The CDF of Kenya has reached retirement, he was from the Airfoce, with the previous being from the Army, the new CDF was appointed yesterday , from the Navy. http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Navy-man-now--succeeds-Karangi-as-military-chief/-/1056/2689426/-/9hdv5fz/-/index.html The new CDF

andrewza: Russia has finally defeated stealth jet technology with upgraded Su-27, Su-30 and new models Su-35 Flanker jets equipped with long range TV-Video cameras called OLS-35, so no more dependence on radar or infra red detector alone, they have additional detection by TV camera integrated with the IRST. No escape for any F-22 or F-35 jet stealth fighter, the Russian TV cameras will video detect all stealth jet fighters real time and big time ! America can claim stealth against weak countries, not Russia ! http://igorrgroup..ca/2009/10/ols-35-irst-option-for-su-30-family.html . 1 Like |

andrewza:Sophisticated systems aren't magic. Most "stealth aircraft" are stealthy not stealth. Stealth is stealth though. What these offer is that what you could detect 150km, you'll be able to detect at 60km. Certain western tanks can launch missiles too like the LAHAT. Russian tanks are just upgraded T-72 and T-80 tanks. And yes, Russia since the days of the stalin organ to today's tornado MRL system has been way ahead of the west in that field. No western MRL can today match the Smerch. |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by andrewza: 2:49pm On Apr 18, 2015 |
MikeCZAR: But to stay stealth one must keep there radar off. Certain and in small numbers of western tanks have had ATGMs. Of the current western style MBT I believe the merkeva is there only 3rd gen tank that carries ATGMs. Really only upgraded T72s. The T90 was all most just labelled as another T72 upgrade. The T80s are being replaced for easier to maintain T72s and T90s. The T14 will be there first new tank since the 1980s. Russia all do as great SAM's. Probably makeing up for the fact the west massively out classes there air force in quality and quantity. |

agaugust: F-35 has a better and more complex system which does the exact same thing. People are overplaying the stealth characteristic of the F-35. Its not the primary design consideration of the platform. Especially with regards to air-to-air combat. The F-35's stealthyness comes into play for ground strikes, not air-to-air. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Patchesagain: 3:14pm On Apr 18, 2015 |
MikeCZAR: Because the West does not place the same doctrinal focus on MRLS systems. Russians use them to saturate the enemy with munitions, where-as NATO uses the airforce to do that. Hence why the West is developing CRAM to protect strategic location. Its just the usual cat and mouse. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 3:32pm On Apr 18, 2015 |
andrewza:Stealthy fighters are 100% invisible but offer certain capabilities other jet can't. Problem is the cost, you know "is it worth It?" My point was that upgrades like the capability to launch missiles don't make Russian tanks better than the west, the Leopard 2 is still the best. Russia a lot of SAMs behind its long range systems like the S-400. The Us on the other hand has a few systems behind THAAD and Patriot systems. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 3:50pm On Apr 18, 2015 |
Patchesagain:There seems to be a shift from area suppression or saturation to precision targeting with GLONASS or GPS guided rockets though. CRAM systems are still short(guns) to medium(missiles) range only able defend a city or so. Inner layer defence. To counter threat long range threats like the Smerch, Iskander, Scarab etc they rely on the long range systems like the THAAD, Patriot and soon MEADS. |

MikeCZAR: You know, Kenya has suffered a great deal due to tribalism (in 2007 Kenya almost went into civil war bcoz of tribalism). The 2010 new constitution created alot of checks and balances to every government institution so that no individual has unchallenged powers without oversite. For the DoD,The Defence Council is the one that recommends the the appointment of a new CDF and service commanders based on merit, after being forwarded to the president, the president can then appoint of reject the recommended person. For the police and other major institutions (judiciary,governor of Central bank, artony general, chief of intelligence service) its even more strict, the president recommends a number of names to parliament, parliament then vets these ppl (through public televised interviews, but some sensitive question are sometimes anwered in private) then forwads there choice to the president, if parliament rejects all the names, the president has to choose others again.... for the Police chief:

The Force takes a plethora of techniques from the many different Services it trains with/ trained by, not restricted to Brits or Americans.
