News Broke, KDF 
is seeking funding to acquire a New Advanced Air Defense System, specifically SPYDER from Israel, (hold on, we’re coming back to this).
Kenya according to sources, operates 4 Marcon s600 AD Radars, information which you don’t easily get across the internet.
These are just surveillance radars in S-band and L-band and a height-finder in C-band, reports also shows they have anti-jamming capabilities.
Kenya Air Force have several squadrons that operate under Air Defense Regiment(ADR), (formerly ADCU) interestingly KDF doesn’t give a lot of information about this… Among them;
843 Radar Squadron - That was moved to Mariakani.
841Radar Squadron- Wajir Air Base
°°° Radar Squadron - Narok FOB
842- Radar Squadron - Laikipia
Satellite Imagery below shows what is believed to be s600 already installed at Narok FOB & Wajir, now an Airbase.
s600 Radara detect enemy low aircraft, UAV, missiles, so that ground to air missiles can be launched for interception. This requires involvement of another Artillary unit or Strike Unit of Air Force, also they have renovated the Hawk Rocket System.
KDF in it’s modernization thirst, want to have a SPYDER, in it’s possession. One of Lt Col Henry Mwenemeru’s favorite Air Defense System.
SPYDER> in full means, “Surface-to-air Python and Derby”
A Website notes,
"It provides protection at different ranges against a variety of threats: UAVs, aircraft, helicopters, and short-range ballistic missiles. The system intercepts threats by means of two families of missiles produced by Rafael: Python and Derby.
It’s a complete air defense system consisting of radar, the TopLite EO/IR sensor, command and control, and Python and Derby interceptors, all mounted on one vehicle."
Ethiopia operates the system, which to me is useless!!!
KDF say plans can still change… let’s wait
