The Kenya Defense Forces Inscription

Started of as the King’s Africa Rifles. Who knows how many were sent to fight in WW1 and WW2.

I’d like to see the KDF return to this hat style.

The dress uniform and the ostrich feather in the hat should be brought back to the current bland KDF uniforms.

Why aren’t there more Indians in the Kenya Defense Forces? The guy walking with Kenyatta is Gurcharan Singh Chana a Rtd Lt. Colonel in the Kenya Airforce. He is probably the highest ranked Indian to be in the KDF. This has to change more Indians need to be in the armed forces.

Modern Day KDF Solider

This is called the Battle Ready Uniform. I think we need to ditch the jungle camo.

The paratrooper pack weight at 60.2kg. This is the gear that Static KDF troops wear when jumping out of planes. And these guys also HALO Jump…

This is the standard ranger tactical setup. These guys are the assault squad so when they land they’re gonna make shit go boom. They’re properly kitted and can jump out of any aircraft, are they’re tasked in bringing as much pain as possible in enemy camps etc.

These uniforms are worn by the tip of the spear. (though KDF uniforms look the same)…These men are so deadly there names have been redacted from records and whispered in DoD meetings. The image above is the basic dive kit. When fully kitted they’re demons in the night. Alshabab have nicknamed them Ifrit because they come at night and bring death with them. They can do it all. If you know you know.

What’s the next chapter of the KDF?

I’d like too see better recruitment policy, no more ati running in a field. More inclusion of more races into the service, new homegrown military industries, and a force that can match any army in Africa.

They need to adapt more technology in the battlefront. Drones for example.

i think Kenya has diverged into secret and clandestine warfare …nothing much is known and not many people know whats really going on. we only hear when alkebabs hit thats it

As per the 2020 Census there are less than 50k Indians in Kenya, wore walihamia UK most of them have UK passports, huku ni business wako nazo tu

They were 50k 50 years ago kwani hawazaani. I think they like to keep it low profile together with the whites

wanazaana waende wapi, plus they only marry within themselves and live in selective locations by themselves, I think they outsource spouses from India, but wengi wao ni residents not citizens

Ogopa izo bagbacks mzae… They carried alot of loot from Westgate mall

50k is a big enough pop.

50-200 of both men and women will be enough.

All I am saying is those numbers are not accurate they are more than that. You will find Indians in the smallest towns in the country you cant tell me all of them are foreigners.

the first part of this post is the dumbest cr_p i’ve read this year… while other nations are going into robots , drones & advancing military tech , some guy wants soldiers to wear feathers like homeguards…he also wants racist indians who dont want to live amongst us to join the army and be our… huyu jamaa si ni akili ameflash kwa choo …

No disrespect lakini siezi kuwa soldier Kenya. You fight a life or death battle for a tumbocrat

not all, they replenish their numbers from India, the numbers are accurate, there are less than 100k residents of all nationalities so wako included. Majority of them live in the three main cities and within those cities they live in select neighbourhoods so cjui kwanini ni ngumu kuimagine coz that’s how their culture works.

Hujaishi na hawa watu vizuri, their mindset about this country is very different, they act like silent partners, they bring their caste system into their thinking, certain jobs are supposed to be done by certain castes, kazi ya soldier is beneath them,

God bless the military Industrial complex

I just find it hard to believe because these people are everywhere it is easier to find Indians in most parts of Kenya as compared to Kenyans of some tribes with more than 500,000 people. And I dont believe that census because many Kenyans were not asked about their tribe so I dont know how they got those numbers from

They used to do these jobs back in the day. they are now afraid of racism

They have businesses everywhere but they only live in some finite select places wewe umeona muhindi kwa plot? I can count on one finger where they live in Nairobi alone, places like thika wote wako place moja and they don’t exceed 500 people. the ones you see in remote places like turkana ni kazi imewapeleka and they’re mostly residents with foreign contracts. The same with the schools they go to a very few number of schools, umeona muhindi in a local govt secondary wapi? The same with their temples, very few and select, hospitals too, etc.

Back then Kenya was a career military not a wartime military so they were okay with it but not today. Unaexpect Patel apeleke kijana yake KDF alishwe copper na Abdullahi wapost picha kwa LiveLeak kama El Adde?

I have a problem with this kind on mentality

Ni mashida Omwami
