Kenya naval ships shell and bomb Kismayo

[moyo]

jeshi la kenya ni la ajabu sana-wanamaneno mengi kuliko vitendo-alshabab wamekuwa kisiki kinachowasumbua na kuwafanya wachukue muda mrefu

Time is not the issue here but Strategy! and you have seen their actions!..The problem with Tanzania is that u r too idle! what can your poorly equipped army do anyway? no wonder you have refused to send troops to Somalia..while small countries like Burundi and Djibouti have done so!..you should be the last people to judge KDF or any force in Somalia for that matter,since you have failed to consider the security as Somalia as an East African problem,otherwise we do not expect anything from you!

moyo, ni mambo yepi yanayokusuma kusema kuwa Tanzania is too idle? And on the point of being poorly (or better) equiped, do you think operation linda nchi was expected to last this long? if not, why it took longer than initially antincipated for the army to finish the job?

Lastily, once this operation Linda nchi ends do you think that will be the end of Al-shaabab?

the kitting in this guys is comforting not to mention the morale of the troops.

 

[Anheuser]

...U have to instill fear on Al-Shabaab, in order to bring them to submission

really?

fear of what, death? I thought their primary weapon is suicide!

 

[JokaKuu]

Start learning on how to use your brains..this are facts we can not deny..when anything positive is written about Kenya know that its not bragging(eve though we have every right to do so ) but pointing out something posive that we have done.What i would beg is for Tanzania to do something positive for this region and we and will appreciate it..the Kenyan,Uganda and Burundi Army are sacrificing their lives for the sake of regional security..and that includes Tanzania! what is killing you is idleness!!....thats why you cant read any thread without being bias!

Moyo,

..madai yako kwamba Tanzania has not promoted peace and security efforts in the East African region r unfounded.

..TPDF/JWTZ ndiyo waliofundisha jeshi la Uganda UPDF.

..pia Tanzania imekuwa iki-host peace negotiations kuanzia wakati wa Rwanda, mpaka wakati wa mzozo wa Burundi.

..militarily, in recent years, askari wa Tanzania wamekwenda kulinda amani kuanzia Liberia,Siera Leone,Darfur,Lebanon, na Comoro.

..mwisho, Tanzania imetoa offer ya ku-train askari wa serikali ya Somalia. Raisi wa Somalia ametembelea Tanzania wiki iliyopita.

NB:

..Somalia ni jirani wa Kenya, sasa sote tunashangaa kwamba wenzetu mlikuwa mko idle for decades wakati hali inazidi kuwa mbaya Somalia.

..pia ni aibu kwa Uganda,Burundi,na Ethiopia, kupeleka askari wao Somalia kabla Kenya haijafanya hivyo. Ndiyo maana wengine tunasema what Kenya is doing in Somalia is a little too late and too little.

nimecheck google, cjaona naval ship yoyote zaidi ya boat tu za kivita, cjui labda huyu bwana atuambie tofauti ya naval ship na boat? sijaona kama wana destroyer, interceptor, minelayers, naval ship wala carrier! sasa hivo vi boat tena vingi vilikua originally designed for civilian use vikabadilishwa kua military ndio navy ya kuongelea kwa forum? nyingine ni obsolete kutoka spain stuff kama zilivyo F5 fighter jet, ni obsolete aircraft for modern warfare lakini kenya ndio backbone ya airforce wanazitumia kwa air superiority missions! kenyans never cease to amase!

the boats you criticize are the only formidable navy in the Indian Ocean rivalled only by SA. To be honest Tanzania lacks a navy. On the air front Kenya has delivered a total of 50 w-z9 gunships...(comprehensive full batch delivery) and some are in action in somalia. Kenya has taken delivery of 16 MI-28 comparable to american apache and are being assembled at embakasi 50 air calvary base not to mention 35 MD500 copters. The list is endless...F5s that u dismiss possess new advanced avionics and are expected to be phased out with closure of somalia theater, probably in the next 5 years or later. REPLACEMENTS: An expected number of not less than 35 F15 eagles to be delivered. Thats a clenching fist by regional standards and word on the ground claims some of the birds are on Kenyan soil... Possibilities of the same are high considering the NAVY seabees are busy setting up an airbase from scratch. Just a week or two ago Kenya made a deal with US to get 5 commando types of boats ONLY used by American commandos commonly known as the Navy Seals.
This is information on the public dormain, what lays under no one really knows.

On the contrary JokaKuu, kulikuwa na UNSC/charter ya Umoja-wa-Mataifa kuzuia mataifa yanayopakana na mataifa yenye vita kuingilia shughuli za kuleta amani, ndiyo ilizuia kenya kushindwa kupeleka majeshi hapo awali. Ndio unakuta kama sababu kuu Tanzania walichaguliwa kupeleka majeshi sierra leone na liberia na sio Nigeria kwa lengo la kuweka amani/Peacekeeping/ huku pacification ikifanywa na polisi/jeshi la nchi hiyo. Tuseme utekaji wa nchi jirani unaruhusiwa kama kuna kuchokozwa wa aina yeyote isiyo ya kawaida kutoka nchi jirani.

KDF itakapomaliza shughuli hapo Somalia, believe me Nigeria na Sierra leone wanakuja Somalia kureinforce usalama ili serikali yenye mandate baada ya TFG iliyosukwa in coordination na kenya/Uganda kuisha iweze kuendesha shughuli za kiserikali bila tatizo. Utakubaliana nami kuwa operesheni ya kenya (OLN) ndio imemaliza equation ya the threat matrix ya Alshabaab na sio utani. Waganda/UPDF waliingia kichwa-kichwa bila kuokota intelligence ya kutosha huku wakipoteza majeshi wao zaidi ya mia tano. Jeshi la Ethiopia/ENDF, baada ya kuingia kichwa-kichwa katika utekaji wao wa kwanza na kupoteza majeshi zaidi ya 70, hawakupata somo. Waliingia mara ya pili na ile agression yao ya kawaida na kupotezamajeshi.

Sitakubaliana nawe unaposema what kenya has done is little-to-late. Maana kama tunapakana na somalia, halafu majeshi ya Ethiopia na Uganda wanafanya shughuli za kijeshi kazi "mchanganyiko maalum" bila mpango, italeta magaidi kuingia katika mpaka ya kenya. Kwa hivyo shughuli ya kenya ina maana sana. Pia usisahau Tanzania watafaidika na hii shughuli ya OLN, maana tuliwaachia marekani na Uingereza na hawakuweza lolote. Magaidi watapungua kwa kiasi kikubwa na kama mradi huo wa LAPSSETT utakamilika, Itachangia pakubwa katika uchumi ya EA.

am sure you were not ready for FIBUA warfare.., thts why you are strugglin in towns

I understand your primary intel source ni us drones from djibout american base, wht if you never had such intel?

Wht about exit plan bcoz i understand your original plan(war timetable) of accomplishing the mission is extremely stretched,

Can you drag on with a war which is so hard to declare a clear victory?

Face it, watz walikaa na waliona hayo mambo, fighting ASSYMETRICAL WARFARE is hard na itafika kipindi kenyans citizen wataanza kusema majeshi yarudi

This is sheer olla podrida. It looks like your weltanschauung is too narrow, only limited to Tanzania and Kenya. Your self aggrandizement is simply purelile. It is strange, that with all this "awesome firepower" at hand, the Al Shaabab is hitherto proving to be a juggernaut against the KDF. The "mighty" KDF is now under AMISOM's command.

Tafakari!

since i now see countering kenyans here at jf is your full time job i must advice you that you are trying too hard to look relevant and educated to them. i used to like your posts in kiswahili and believe me this is just a forum dont take it too seriously it does not matter if you are learned or not as long as you are understable. clearly the kenyans have made you go nuts cant help thinking you have several dictonaries with you while you post. calm down boy

next time make it simple for an intelligent conversation.....
Fact:
1) tanzanias naval power is not comparable to Kenya navy by infrastructure, interdiction capabilities or anything you may want to raise.
2) Kenya navy personnel are bigger in numbers
3) though under Amisom, KDF is still autonomous and not under the Ugandan command on the ground. Did you see any UPDF commander in Afmadhow? You forgot units serve in different sectors 1 and 2 respectively.
4) KDF incursion is what gave Uganda the impetus to finally break out of Crazy town, all the lifting and heavy work courtsey of our Airforce, air calvary and dedicated soldiers on site.
5) KDF tactically delayed an assault into Kismayo and Afmadhow by choice. Just after a week of Capturing Afmadhow, the gallant soldiers have captured Bibi town, 45 kms from Afmadhow and 75km to Kismayu. They are on schedule.
By whatever measure, whose spatting purile data? AK if we are having this conversation limit yourself to reason rather than aimless words. Thank you.

Wewe unajua unachosema? Alshabaab is not a conventional army. JWTZ hawana technologia ya kupigana ukitafuta the possibilty of underground IEDs (Improvised-Explosive-Devices) katika barabara. Najua that is greek for JWTZ. Kwa hivyo tusijiweke hapa na terminiology ambazo huzifahamu vizuri. Na vita vya kagera/Idi Amin havikuwa na IED na rocket propelled grenades. Kwa hivyo Kenya has fought a third generational war ambayo Tanzania/JWTZ hawana experience making the KDF an advanced, intelligent, and capable army ready to withstand any type of attack whether unconventional of not.......

Mfano mwema Ethiopia/ENDF waliingia 2006 na wakakiona cha mtema-kuni kutoka ICU. Intel base inatoka from the local population not drones. Otherwise the kenyan operation has been hailed as the most successive in combating and wiping Alshabaab. ENDF waliingia na kufa kama vifaranga. Waganda walielekea mogadishu kutoa maafisa wa kijeshi/500 kama kafara. In actual sense the ENDF na UPDF operations could have protracted the war to 2016 jambo ambalo Kenya haikuwa tayari kushuhudia.

Kenya isingeingilia kati na Operesheni linda nchi...............vita vya Alshabaab somalia zingeingilia a protracted war zone ambao ingeendelea miaka na miaka na kuharibu mipango ya nchi
