On the second week of the arrival of the first 6 UH-1 huey II’s, others are on the way…

Crew Chief @bjurmann how has the reception been?

The operation to take Kismayu was on two fronts. The first was a combined army-air force effort where the troops advanced on road. Just outside Kismayu, buffalos staged a massive paratrooper drop which helped to lie to al saitan that the invasion was coming from land and they prepared their defences to meet this oncoming rout.

This is the naval component.

Sasa ni Operation SledgeHammer, the operation to take Kismayu from the sea. The first amphibious landing in Africa. Ever.

As I had said sometime back, KNS Jasiri is versatile. Here it was hosting army SF and Navy SF who would be the first boots on the ground in Kismayu…

The SF’s job was to establish a safe landing spot (beach head) for the incoming troops and vehicles who were in KNS Tana, Galana and MV Kirawira

Since Jasiri haina landing pad, my best guess here is the chopper was running VBSS (Visit, board, search and seizure) drills or was going to refuel. Gunnery Sergeant @kiLo- (ama wewe ni officer? nimeguess.) Njoo utueleze what else a helo could be doing at sea with an OPV

RV Mtafiti (owned by ministry of fisheries, last time I checked), KNS Umoja or Nyayo, at the back could be Shujaa or Shupavu, The fat one could be Tana or Galana and the beautiful one KNS Jasiri. Currently the largest, but not for long.

There is another one coming next year with a landing pad. Picha mumeona mara kadhaa.

Bonus…

What baffles me is that with all this powerful arsenals they still get massacred like sheep… Tena at their base.

There is a very big difference between a patrol base and a proper barracks/garrisson. Yes, mistakes were made at el adde. No one goes into a fight expecting a flawless victory. A few punches have to be landed as well. What one does after recieving those punches is what matters. Even the taliban attacked bagram airbase and crippled several jets, taliban overrun an american fire base in the korengal valley, can’t remember the name, killing several. That does not mean one should stop when they haven’t completely achieved what took them to that place in the first place. The pacification of al saitan is crucial to the future and security of this country, they have to be dealt with.

Hiyo itakuwa useless and a very expensive hole in the treasury. All the threats Kenya faces are within reach of the current equipment. Heli carrier ni kama you want to ferry, land and support amphibious forces far away feom your homeland.
