Kenya yaongoza EAC kijeshi ikifuatwa na Uganda

[Iconoclastes]

Uwezo binafsi wa nguvu za kijeshi na zana zake ni siri ya nchi, kwahiyo endeleeni kutabiri.

Kama tungekuwa tunajitengezea hizo vifaa.....sawa, lakn kama tunanunua kutoka kwa haya mataifa mengine, itawezekanaje kuweka haya mambo siri?

 

[REDEEMER.]

Hilo lilikuwa aibu kubwa kwa nchi yetu, lakn usitumie suala hili la hao wapumbavu wachache kuamua kupora bidhaa Westgate to kunegate the prowess of the Kenyan military. If such moments of mischief ndio zinaindicate how ineffective a military is, then America probably has one of the most bogus militaries on the world!
Hilo suala la Wstgate is besides the point, hapa tunazungumzia uwezo wa makeshi in varous aspects, in terms of skills, equipment and technology, logistics, budget and personnel.

Kusema ya kwamba Tz iko na nguvu sana, inaweza kuwamaliza hawa maghaidi kwa haraka sana kushinda yale majeshi yalio huko Sonalia ni ubaradhuli sana.
Hii vita dhidi ya ughaidi sio sawa na zile vita za kawaida JWTZ ilishuhudia huko Uganda na kwengine. This is different, it's as though u are fighting an enemy u cannot see.

Soma source of this information utakuta wamepata kutoka CIA ya Marekani kupitia world fact book so come to that world fact book ya CIA alafu uangalie ni lini mara ya mwisho kwa Tanzania kutoa taarifa za majeshi yetu kwa CIA utaona mwisho ilikua ni 2012 so hii rank ni kwa mujibu wa taarifa za Tanzania walizozitoa 2012 and maybe guessing so it is never a valid stuff.

Somali iliwashinda wamarekani lakini sisi wanaEA yaani Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda Burundi, Rwanda na djibouti tunawakabili ila TZ ni yule mwanamme mwenye anauliza wako wapi hao niwakabili akiwa mvunguni.Hamwezi ingia kule kazi yenu ni kulemea kabila moja kule DRC mkibaka wanawake tu!

Siku tukiingia Kenya tutabaka wanawake wa kdf hata al shabbab waliwabaka baba zenu wa kdf baada ya kuwateka picha zikazuiwa mitandaoni kuficha aibu yenu

 

[Kajolijo]

Hehehe! Kama pale Somalia ndio vipimo, basi bora ukae kimyaaa maana nyie mumeogopa kupakaribia wakati mataifa yote ya ukanda huu yamekwenda ikiwemo Burundi na Rwanda.

Kwahyo unataka twende kufanyaje? Moto wetu waulize emu ishirini na tatu watakusimlia kila kitu kwanza hilo jina la tz hawatak hata kulskia

Kwahyo unataka twende kufanyaje? Moto wetu waulize emu ishirini na tatu watakusimlia kila kitu kwanza hilo jina la tz hawatak hata kulskia

M23 ni watoto waliokua wanatatiza pale DRC huku wakiiba madini na walikua waoga, hawataki kufa. Kama unataka kujipima uwezo wako kwenye vita vya kisasa, basi jaribu kuwabip hawa mujahidi bn shetwan, hawaogopi kufa na ushambuliaji wao unahusu kujilipua lipua kwanza ili kudhihirisha wamekuja kufa wote wakapokee dhawabu.

Japo ninawaelewa nyie kwanini mnakua waoga, kwa kweli nchi yenu leo hii waislamu ndio wengi na kulingana na ukweli ni kwamba kila muislamu ni potential terrorist, maana kuna kitu wakisoma kwenye kitabu chao wanaanza kuwaza mabomu na uzombi wa kiaina. Hivyo mkijihusisha kwenye vita dhidi ya ugaidi itawa cost sana nyie huko. Ikiwa leo hii hamjamchkoza yeyote, mpo watulivu lakini bado kwenu tunaskia matukio madogo madogo ya ugaidi, sasa mkiingia full kichwa kwenye huu ugomvi mtaishia kuhama nchi.

Kweli mkuu,Mkenya amejitoa kiume kupambana na anatumia mamilioni ya dollar katika vita lakini bado yumo,sis kama Nchi ya ukanda wa A,mashariki hatuungi mkono kwa vitendo vita dhidi ya Ugaid ni maneno tu

Kenya’s National Defense Policy white paper - May 2017
Kenya’s military is set for massive expansion in capacity and capability so as to place it in a better position to face other large militaries and protect the country in the event of a foreign attack, a new report has said.

The National Defence Policy, launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday, said Kenya should not lose focus of other large militaries within East African region.

“In the past, our forces and overall capacity has been small and fairly limited in scope. Increasing conflicts have compelled Kenya to review her ability to defend the nation against more threatening aspects of these conflicts.

In response to these threats, our defence forces have to expand both in capacity and capability,” said the President while introducing the document.

He added: “Our military posture will remain defensive, however, should our nation be subjected to aggression, our forces should be able to deal with the aggressor decisively.”

The white paper, as the policy is referred to in military parlance, then delves into the security threats facing the country and the measures that should be set in motion in the event they escalate into full-blown conflict.

'ENCOURAGED GROWTH'

Regarding other armies in the region, it said: “The turmoil of 1970s (in the region) encouraged growth of large military forces in the region and in recent times, many of these forces have been reorganised and modernised. The sizes and capabilities of these forces exceed the need for legitimate defence. Some are engaged in internal security duties of their respective countries while others have found use outside national borders. The continued presence of these forces should be of concern to us.”

The document is, however, critical of Kenya Defence Forces intervention whenever there are disagreements, saying Kenya will pursue diplomatic means as the first line of defence to resolve problems that may arise with other countries.

But even as the peaceful means are pursued, the might of KDF would always remain a heartbeat away, ready for prompt deployment in the event peace talks fail, said the document. “We have no undue reason to doubt the sincerity of our neighbours’ intentions to live in peace with us. Nonetheless, Kenya reserves the sovereign right to resort to the use of force to protect her interests,” it said.

The report also said Kenya will not encourage an arms race among countries since the region is at peace.

EXPANDING MASSIVELY

It comes at a time KDF is expanding massively in terms of equipment acquisition.

Recently, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri), an independent global security think-tank, revealed Kenya’s military spending last year rose to a new high of Sh96 billion.

At $933 million (Sh96 billion), Kenya’s military spending is more than the $469 million (Sh48.3 billion) and $403 million (Sh41.5 billion) that Ethiopia and Uganda spent respectively in their defence budget last year, the Sipri report shows.

Tanzania stands behind Kenya in the region’s military spending order, having spent $544 million (Sh56 billion) on defence.

The President directed that the provisions in the document must be interpreted and implemented “in the spirit of true patriotism”.

On May 2, the US government cleared the sale of 12 new American-made light attack helicopter gunships to Kenya.

The US State Department said the deal is estimated to be worth $253 million (Sh26 billion) and includes MD530F Cayuse Warrior light attack helicopters, machine gun pod systems, rocket launcher systems and assorted ammunition.

In a statement, the US Defence Security Cooperation Agency said it notified the country’s congress on May 1.

WEAPONISED HELICOPTERS

The deal involves the supply of the 12 MD530F weaponised helicopters, 24 heavy machine gun pods, 24 HMP400 machine gun pod systems, 24 M260 rocket pods and 4,032 M151 high-explosive rockets.

Others are 1,536 M274 smoke rockets, 400,000 rounds of .50 calibre ammunition and communications/navigation equipment.

The White Paper, the first to be made public, further provides a guide on how the military and other security agencies should be deployed to defend the country.

“We shall cooperate with all those willing to cooperate with us and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all (other) states. We shall spare no effort in promoting peace. But we are equally determined to use all means at our disposal including military force to uphold our sovereignty and the security of our people,” the report stated.

And whenever force is applied, desired results should be achieved in the shortest time possible and peace efforts restarted, it added.

The report noted that due to globalisation, a security situation in far ends of the world affects Kenya too and called for military collaboration with other countries.

Top military generals and other security chiefs were present when the President launched the report at the National Defence College in Karen, Nairobi.

NATIONAL PRIDE

It identified Kenya’s apex interests as political independence, integrity of the State’s boundaries, economic prosperity of the people and national pride.

Going by the 2011 census, the report said 12 million Kenyans were fit for military service “while about 800,000 Kenyans attain the mandatory military age (18 years) age annually”.

It rallied upon not only the military, but every Kenyan’s patriotism to guarantee the nation is defended.

“In peacetime, a balance of power that does not encourage an arms race and a defence capability that is convincing enough to deter coercion or aggression. There should be quick response to threats without risking escalation of the level of conflict,” the report said.

Military acquisitions in Kenya are usually kept secret but those sourced from the US are made public because of legal obligations that govern the superpower.

Another acquisition in the pipeline is that of attack aircraft worth $418 million (Sh43.1 billion), also from the US.

The deal includes delivery of 12 Air Tractor AT-802L planes and two AT-504 trainer aircraft. These types were originally built as an agricultural, unarmed aircraft which have been used around the world fighting forest fires but armoured models have found use in militaries.

ETHNIC TENSIONS

At home, the report notes Kenya’s security is threatened by ethnic and political tensions, which result in tribal conflicts and clashes.

Other local threats are radicalisation, religious intolerance, drug trafficking, alcohol and drug abuse, corruption, youth unemployment, HIV and Aids, poverty, environmental degradation, organised crime, as well as natural and man-made disasters.

The document further drummed support for creation of a military reserve force.

It said: “The need for cost-effectiveness dictates that a large portion of our country’s military strength is kept in reserve. They provide pre-trained manpower which can quickly integrate with regular forces without recourse to initial training.”

The report added that in wartime they can be deployed as replacement for combat losses. Reserves also come in handy in garrison duties, manning air defences, internal security and guarding key points such as supply depots thus “freeing regular troops”.

So what Tanzanians are saying here is that their army is more than that of Uganda, Ethiopia, Burundi, Kenya, USA and United Kingdom because they are all fighting al shabaab in Somalia, manze you guys need to be studied bana.

 

[hydrogen]

Sawa. Tutaona Somalia. Ndio kwenye vipimo.

Kumbukumbu zangu zinaniambia marekani walikimbia somalia. Kwa mantiki his, marekani hawatuambii kitu tunawachapa asubui mchana na usiku.

Soma source of this information utakuta wamepata kutoka CIA ya Marekani kupitia world fact book so come to that world fact book ya CIA alafu uangalie ni lini mara ya mwisho kwa Tanzania kutoa taarifa za majeshi yetu kwa CIA utaona mwisho ilikua ni 2012 so hii rank ni kwa mujibu wa taarifa za Tanzania walizozitoa 2012 and maybe guessing so it is never a valid stuff.

Iyo tarifa ya MK254 sio ya kutoka CIA World Fctbook, bali the Global Firepower.

Mbali na hayo wewe umejikita kutaja mambo ya Westgate kudhihirisha ati KDF ni dhaifu. Hou ni upuzi. Hawa ni binadamu tu, makosa hapa na pale baadhi yaoo watayatenda tu, mfano, jeshi la Tz walipowadhalimu watoto kingono huko CAR na DRC.

Hapa tuzungumzie ufanisi wa majeshi ya Kenya ilipoingia kule Somali:

Ni vipi wakenya waliweza kutwaa eneo kubwa zaidi kutoka kwa Alshbb kuliko haya majeshi mengine ambayo yamwkuwa huko miaka nyingi kabla ya kenya kuingia vjtani, kama kwwli hawa ni dhaifu?

Tafakari hilo.

 

[young solicitor]

Sijui lini tutaipenda nchi yetu, watu wako radhi kujiita wachambuzi kutwa kucha kutafuta habari zenye mtazamo hasi dhidi ya mataifa mengine.

Kuipenda nchi ni pamoja na kusema ukweli
Budget yetu ya ulinzi ni Tshs ngapi??
Au na hilo ni siri

Endeleeni kuongoza...kumbuka kuwa wakwanza haimaanishi mnaweza kushinda vitani...vita ni AKILI.

[Come27]

Haya sio maoni ya kila mtu, ni tathmini ya uwezo wa mejeshi ya dunia. Japo sina cha kusheherekea hapo maana Afrika tupo nyuma. Marekani anaweza kutumia ndege moja ya kijeshi kuitesa Tanzania hadi muombe poo. Ndege moja ya kisasa ambayo ina uwezo wa kuzunguka kwenye anga yenu ikipiga mabomu na kugeuza ili ikaongeze mafuta, ina uwezo wa kumaliza ndege zenu zote za kivita na kukwepa mizinga na kupiga maeneo yote muhimu ilhali Wamarekani nyumbani hata hawatakua na habari kuna vita baina ya Marekani na Tanzania, wengi hata hawatajua Tanzania ni aina ya chakula au nini, wataendelea kula burger zao pale kwao.

Haya tuma salamu kwa mme wako aliyopo Marekani.
Na umweleze kwamba nyege zimeongezeka aje akupande

 

[Come27]

Wakenya wasenge sana. Yaani wao mostly of the time [emoji355] wanawaza kujilinganisha na Tanzania. Kama wewe uchumi upo vizuri mbona mnapiga kerere na njaa. Juzi juzi tumewapa mahindi ya kulishia nguruwe mmeshiba na mnaanza kujamba jamba katika Mitandao ya kijamii

Hehehe! Kama pale Somalia ndio vipimo, basi bora ukae kimyaaa maana nyie mumeogopa kupakaribia wakati mataifa yote ya ukanda huu yamekwenda ikiwemo Burundi na Rwanda.

Badala kupigania njaa na eradication of Slums and poverty, mnakimbilia vita msivyo viweza. Eti nini? Kenya ina nguvu kijeshi kuliko TZ! Wewe unapenda majisifa yasiyo na tija! Unafikiri poor slum dwellers wana interest na hizo sifa wakati hata chai asubuhi hawajakunywa? You are bragging about your military capability, yet your government is unable to provide housing, jobs and even public toilets. Lol!
