newafricaken254:I had many first person experiences with Ethiopian commando soldiers and Ethiopia army. They are very disciplined and are willingness to die for their country if that should be the way. If Ethiopia has the 3rd strongest military by using only $350 million annual budget, then imagine how powerful we will be when we start to use annual budget like Egypt, Algeria, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria which is above $2 billion. Ethiopia has the largest peacekeeping force in Africa. It has participated in peacekeeping missions in Korea, Congo, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, Burundi, Liberia, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia. Ethiopia is relatively the most safest African country. This is achieved because of the sacrifices of our soldiers to keep peace in neighboring border areas, especially in Ethio-Eritrea and Ethio-Somalia borders. Ethiopia military has the best foot soldiers in Africa and one of the best in the world. Most countries in the world knows how strong Ethiopia military is and they had recognized it's strength. It's feared by African governments and rebel groups. Alexander the Great once had the desire to conquer Ethiopia, but he knows how powerful they are and didn't went with his desire. We had crushed foreign invading enemies like Adal(supported by Ottoman Turks), Egypt, Mahadist Sudan and Italy. There had/are many strong women in the military. Most of them are nurses, doctors and soldiers. There were/are also lower and middle level officials and few Generals. My cousin for example is among the only 5 any level women Generals in Ethiopia history. She is brigadier general. My father was Major General(he passed) and my Doctor mother was Colonel before she retired from civil military life. I had the visited our Air Force and Tanks previously and even had the honor to enter and see one of our M29 Jet. There are only few countries in the world that can beat Ethiopian military. |

The Kenya air force has received 3 C-145A Sky truck light twin engine aircraft. The KAF had requested for 6 C-145A through the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) program, however only 3 were allocated . The EDA website shows they were delivered on 4/04/2017. A pic of the C-145A 4 Likes

tdayof: It is fantastic to see that we continue to pursue local solutions. The army patronizes him well, i hope he's able to expand and grow quickly. On the UAV front we've seen good progress, it should transfer to other areas. At the minimum 30% of our Land systems should be local, it can be done, and should be pursued vigorously. 1 Like |

jln115:All the countries you mentioned indeed have larger military budget and industries, but I'm talking overall. Ethiopia military has greater war experience through peacekeeping and battles. They are better disciplined and determined. Why do you think Ethiopia has the largest UN peacekeeping force in Africa? It's because the qualities I mentioned above. Check if you want online and you will know why Ethiopia has the 3rd strongest military in Africa. Even the 1st strongest Egypt can't match Ethiopians in conventional war. jln115:Ethiopia didn't lose against Eritrea. First, Eritrea started to invade northern Ethiopia without declaring war. We counter attacked and pulled them out of northern Ethiopia and our army was in their way to Asmara(Eritrea capital). Eritrea accepted UN peace treaty and our forces stopped their advance and returned to Ethiopia. Some of them stayed in Badem and still are present their. |

Hati13: South Africa: has just about fought in every major war of the 20th century, WW1 WW2 Korean war and the largest war ever fought in Africa after WW2 the Border War...... Angola: Fought the Largest War in Africa after WW2(Border War) Nigeria: Biafran War, Mali conflict, Liberia civil war, boko harm insurgency ect ect @Henry240 can elaborate Morocco: Algerian-Moroccan war, major experience fighting insurgents. Ethiopia is not 3rd in Africa, GFP rankings only take quantity in to consideration, hence why Ethiopia with a massive stockpile of Soviet era weapons are ranked 3rd Ethiopia would be ranked no higher than 7th in Africa if GFP rankings were realistic. 3 Likes |

jln115:Ethiopia major war experience against foreigners:- - Adal and Ottoman Turks(1529-43) - British expeditionary force(1868) - Egypt(1875&76) - Mahadist Sudan(1880s) - Italy and WWII(Italy)(1887,95,96 & 1935-41) - Korea(1950-53) In truth, WWII didn't started during the invasion of Poland. It started either in 2nd China-Japan war(1931) or in the 2nd Italo-Abyssinia war(1935-36). Check wiki if you want. Ethiopia was the only African country to face the biggest and latest armed force. The enemy was Italy of course during the 2nd Italo-Abyssinia war. Even if the countries you mentioned had war experience, it doesn't match with Ethiopia. Your claim is opinion, not a fact. Fact- Ethiopia had the strongest force in Africa before the fall of Dictator Derg(1991). Now, it's the 3rd strongest. Search any website you want. |

IbnSultaan:You are very funny The only nice thing about Ethiopia are it's history, landscape beauty, people beauty and military strength. I don't want it to happen and it's unrealistic for it to happen, but if Ethiopia and Nigeria go to war in either in Ethiopia, Nigeria or neutral battleground, we all know you guys will be humiliated by Ethiopia. We all know how your highly funded military had been and still being humiliated by Boko Haram. The only nice thing about Nigeria is it oil resources. |

Hati13:Congrats you faced Italy....with France a country famous for surrendering!! South Africa on the other hand defeated Germany in SWA defeated the most powerful (British) empire in the world during the first Anglo Boer war. Instrumental in defeating the Germans in North Africa during WW2 SAAF 2squadron was attached with the 18th US bomber squadron from 1950-1953 during the Korean war. Fought the largest conventional war after WW2 from 1966 to 1989. Between WW2 till the mid nineties the SADF was unquestionably the major military force in Africa. Lately Nigeria, Angola,Morocco and SA all have modernised their defence forces, while Ethiopia is still stuck in the Cold War era with regards to equipment....your army has no modern: air defence, artillery, armour, infantry weapons your air force can only boast about their cold war era Su27s.....that's it. Egypt has by far the most powerful military in Africa , 2nd Algeria a distant 3rd,4th and 5th is (Angola, South Africa and Nigeria.....no particular order!!) 6th and 7th is between Ethiopia and Kenya. 2 Likes |

fufubear:Regardless if it was 3 or 5 SAAF had 25 aces(5 kills or more) and those 25 shot down 257 axis aircraft. There were also 16 South African aces that flew for RAF during WW2 racking up 220 kills between them. The most successful commonwealth pilot during WW2 was South African Tom Pattle he had confirmed 41kills.........he tried to join SAAF when he was 18 but was rejected so he flew for RAF instead. 2 Likes |

Hati13: Brahhh, you started and we're definitely coming for you. The Nigerian military under the present administration is effective . You don't compare a military whose policy has been to train, arm and fund numerous terrorists groups to Nigeria. You need source? I'll give you Ethiopian forces are stretched thin. You have just 10,000 men deployed outside your country and you're stretched thin already. With our presence in numerous African countries, the Nigerian military is still well fit. Ethiopian military is in bad shape, even by African standards Over the last year alone, thousands of Ethiopian troops have defected to Eritrea, including five Ethiopian air force pilots. Don't compare a military military that lacks the discipline, skills or the will to wage war to ours. Just like the CNN reported said, "Ethiopia left with their tails between their legs" Your Ethiopian military that can't even defeat rag-tag rebel groups such as the ONLF and OLF within its own border. So it's capacity to win a bloody, costly and protracted war against a larger and much formidable military is out of the question. We're winning the war against insurgency and you're here talking Shiit 1 Like |
