Who has the most assets and personnel? How many countries can Kenya win against tukaenda Vita. We still have fighter Jets that were made in n the 1970s.
How does Airforce of countries such as Malawi look like kama Kenya ndio inakuaga USA ya East Africa na ndege zetu zingine niza 1969.
South Africa had nukes and they have a budding military industrial complex. Nigeria wameshindwa na Boko Haram pekee while Ethiopian army wanaletwa mbio na TPLF. Shida ya KDF ni outdated weapons and technology, extremely low manpower (28k, including Navy and Air Force) and under utilization of our waters. Kazi ya Navy ni kukula soft meat coastal lanyes pale Manda Bay. God forbid we don’t even have a proper naval base yet we have a whooping 500km of coastline. Airforce nao ni kukamua Somalis pale Eastleigh, nothing much is going on. The only missiles we have ni AAM, which are outdated bado. We should make an effort to either make or buy atleast AGM and ASM missiles banae. But KDF inventory is outdated asf bana. Niliona kwa ile celebration tunatumia trucks zenye NATO ilikuwa inalipua into shreds during the 1990s intervention in Serbia.
Enyewe vile T72 our main battle tank zinalimwa pale Ukraine na Soviet made hand held karaboshta, leave a lot to be desired. Just glad Zoomalia kina @Bingwa Scrotum can’t afford Javelins and NLAWs, that’s our edge
You do understand in times of war, the millitaries world wide are dedicated with unlimited budgets.
Tafuta documentaries za NATO aggression into Bosnia uone vile vita huwa inapagwa. Once it was imminent that NATO was to attack Bosnia, Milosevic, converted commercial manufacturing industrial complexes into millitary complexes.
Got Universities Professors , Engineers and other personnel to design and develop weaponry and war systems. Whether Milosevic prevailed or not is another whole top.
My point though is, countries shouldn’t pile stock weaponry they aren’t using, and should acquire weapons based on the threats facing them at that moment
At the moment, our greatest security threat is from terrorists groups from the neighboring Somali. We don’t need top of the class jet fighters for this, what we need are crop dusters, made to mimick the warthog, mzee wa kazi.
Probably staying power on the battlefield is the determinant as none of those is overly superior in tech and materiel. Thus, I’d bet on Ethiopia; battle-hardened MFs that can wage war on any terrain for the longest time.
Museveni has over 100 T90s the successor to the T-72, We could win a defensive war with any of the mentioned countries. mostly due to our consistency in training which is far better than our neighbor’s…
