kikuyu1: This guy can you please it share lies, don't be desperate, Kenya does not operate 55 Z9 attack helos (fact) if you insist otherwise please provide a link, play by your own rules at least don't just pull figures out your ass. Second Kenya also does not have 200 t-72 or else we won't see KDF deploy Vickers Mk 3 and Panhard AMLs to all the hotspots. Please provide link compfirming KDF has 200 of this type Also Kenyatta's never purchased Merkava tanks.... this guy you really mean am ![]() Lastly 12 light attack "gunships" are MD500s. This and the cobras are the only 2 purchases you verified in our long textbook rant. I'd be waiting for your reply backed by facts maybe a SIPRI transfer log showing were Kenya acquired 55 Z9s and merkava from Israel 12 Likes |

This Week In History: Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar is Nigeria's Chief of Air Staff. This week makes it two years of his appointment as CAS by President Muhammadu Buhari. The Fine Officer and Gentleman is highly skilled and proficient in Air Warfare doctrine and Air Combat Operations. He has flown varied aircraft types both winged and rotary including the Mil-35 Helicopter Gunship and the Mil -17 Assault Helicopter. In Academics he holds degrees in Political Science, Strategic Studies and a Diploma in Public Administration. His leadership of Nigeria's Air Force has seen the timely reactivation of erstwhile redundant aircrafts in the inventory of the NAF bringing the critically needed Force multipliers to bear in the war against boko haram terrorists turning the tide of the war in favor of Nigeria. The Air Marshal has also placed great emphasis on capacity building and personnel welfare visible with the numerous projects and training regime undertaken under his leadership. Today the Nigerian Air Force can deploy at very short notice on multiple theaters of war and project effective force on the full spectrum of air power: Air Interdiction, Close-Air-Support, ISR, Search And Rescue, Armed RECCE And Combat Air Patrol. Under his leadership the Nigerian Air Force continues it's expansion and modernization with the anticipated segmented delivery of new aircraft types into it's inventory for Air Operations for Strategic Effect (Long Range/Maritime Air Operations) And Counter-Air Operations. Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar hails from Bauchi State of Nigeria and loves flying. 5 Likes

I've just realised despite some screeching and finger pointing about African armies alleged underspending nobody has ever done a cost comparison in all the years of this thread;even on ToT. Defence budget 2017 Personnel tri services %AGE OF gdp spend per soldier Here's the SANDF 4 bn$ 80,000 0.9% 50,000$ per year KDF 1.2 BN$ 30,000 1.4% 40,000$ per year Naij 2 bn$ 160,000 0.4% 12,500$ per year Uganda 900 mn 50,000 1.2% 18,000$ per There may be some variation with changing exchange rates but the truth comes out with figures! Pay,welfare,housing,training,maintenance,operations and acquisitions is included in the per capita spend per soldier. I wonder where Naijj's money for the new buys is coming-most likely extra budgetary funds from a contingency account. Those who can draw logical inferences are ofc free to do so. Which country's troops 2 years back were in such serious operational problems with proxy terrorists they fled the field of battle several times? The per capita spend isn't all;is each armed force developing doctrines,what the US calls TTPs,Tactics ,Techniques and Protocols to optimise their ToE in their respective threat matrix? Very very few on this thread can answer that especially when none of us are fighting near peer enemies. Like I said earlier M23,BH and Al Shabaab aren't significant threats[b] but one of those proxies gave serious problems to its foe-why?? [/b] I had a post earlier saying the RSA for its continental role really should have heavy lift like the propfan not turboprop, An 70,at least 3 pieces. It can carry 35 tons, 5000 km-wow! Also at least a 12 plane squadron of heavy twin FSBs like Su 30 ,though Saffers don't respect Vlads stuff so it'd have to be the 100 mn$ a pop Rafales. Here's the thing:its well within their financial capabilities. They need boost their defence budget to 1.6% of GDP,well within their means with some simple scrimping and judicious scraping. Some of you've heard the single seat KA 50 was tried out here-thats true! 2 squadrons will arrive once the main N Kenya oil pipeline is operational,late 2019. Bookmark this post! Point of all this being? Acquisitions and availability of warfighting equipment depends on not just your ready finance but financial capability. 3 Likes

Dude, stop your rant. Soldiers fled from battlefield or not, is that the case now? Ever heard of Asymmetric warfare? Those terrorists elements gave serious problems because they aren't fighting in a conventional way, how about you go to Afghanistan and ask the Western troops there how come they haven't been able to defeat the Taliban in over 10yrs and now propose to negotiate? Or why Columbia have to deal with guerillas for almost 50yrs or so? If these elements come out of hiding and fight, they would have been defeated in a matter of days. Insurgency isn't easy to put down. But we get it now, Are you rooting for Kenya? Okay, they are the best in Africa. Move on. kikuyu1: 1 Like |

Covert1: Nice profiling sir... *Chop kiss* So the man did Political Science, Pub Admin, and Strategic study. He did nothing about Engineering, Aeronautics, etc ?? And yet he became a pilot and even a fighter pilot. So why all the fuss today about allowing only those with Applied science to become pilots in NAF ![]() |

SealTeam6: Warm thanks! Love ur moniker btw He achieved those feats in academics as further studies after the basics for qualification as a pilot/fighter pilot in the Nigerian Air Force starting with the officer entry level courses which includes all the subjects such as aero-dynamics etc and training necessary to become a Pilot Officer at NDA. These are partakers of the Regular Officers course. The services also allow for Direct Short Service Courses for Nigerian University graduates where your focused discipline is adjudged relevant for which arm of the Armed Forces. The Nigerian Air Force has a system of starting them young. I wrote my first Air Force Exams for admittance into Air Force Schools as a kid and the process goes on and on. In Nigeria's military the further you study the better your chances of promotion to higher ranks. So you see young officers undertake further studies both in military courses and academic courses. Nigeria has military institutions starting from the prestigious NDA to armed forces command and staff college up to the National Defence college (formerly War college) to be upgraded to National Defence University. The Nigerian military places premium emphasis on military education and our military also allow highly coveted slots to foreign countries especially friendly African countries. It is believed Nigeria has Africa's best Military Educational Institutions however Nigeria allows it's Officers study exchanges with other such institutions in Africa, Europe, Russia and America. 8 Likes |
