Kenya’s military has for the second time been ranked as Africa’s eleventh most powerful force ahead of its Ugandan and Tanzanian counterparts, despite the neighbouring countries’ bigger personnel count.

Global Firepower, an agency that assesses the military strength of nations, ranks Kenya as the most powerful nation in East Africa based on its manpower, range of weaponry, logistical flexibility and budgets.

Kenya’s military is, however, ranked below Ethiopia and is also smaller than its East African peers based on personnel headcount.

Kenya has 24,150 military personnel, slightly more than half of Uganda’s 45,000 while Tanzania commands 30,000 servicemen.

“Going beyond military equipment totals and perceived fighting strength, is the actual manpower that drives a given military. Wars of attrition favour those with more,” the study says.

The rankings show that Kenya’s army size has changed little since 2015, retaining the badge as the continent’s eleventh most superior force for the second year.

Neighbouring Ethiopia is more powerful and commands a bigger force of 185,500 personnel, which is seven times Kenya’s.



Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt and Sudan are also ranked ahead of Kenya.

Despite having a larger pool of personnel, Uganda ranks behind Kenya in military strength at position 16 in Africa while Tanzania comes in 17th.

Kenya has an arms stockpile of 76 battle tanks, 591 armoured fighting vehicles, 30 self-propelled guns, 25 towed artillery, 131 aircraft, 17 fighter jets, and 61 helicopters, according to Global Firepower.

Uganda’s weapons stock comprises 240 tanks, 43 aircraft, 1,060 armoured fighting vehicles, nearly twice Kenya’s cache, and 26 multiple-launch rocket systems.

Kenya and Tanzania currently lack the multiple launch rockets. Tanzania’s arsenal includes 30 tanks, 150 armoured fighting vehicles and 30 aircraft.

Kenya, which is the region’s largest economy, has over the years led its East African neighbours in military spending.

Kenya’s defence bill last year grew 10.5 per cent to Sh96 billion ($933 million), shooting above those of Ethiopia and Uganda combined, according to last month’s report by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri).

Egypt, which receives billions of dollars in US military aid, tops the list of Africa’s fearsome armies, followed by Algeria, Ethiopia, Nigeria and South Africa in that order.

Egypt had 470,000 military personnel last year, behind Algeria which has the largest army size at 520,000.

Cairo boasts 4,624 tanks, 13,949 armoured fighting vehicles, 889 self-propelled guns, 337 fighter jets, 2,360 towed artillery and 1,481 multiple-launch rocket systems.

Other African countries that are ranked militarily superior to Kenya are DR Congo, Morocco, and Angola.

“The Global Firepower ranking is largely on each nation’s potential conventional war-making capability across land, sea and air,” the agency says.

It adds that a country’s score is not simply based on its size of arms stockpile “but rather focuses on weapon diversity within the number totals to provide a better balance of firepower available.”

Globally, the US still commands the most powerful military with 19 aircraft/helicopter carriers, 5,884 tanks, 13,762 aircraft, 6,065 helicopters, 41,062 armoured fighting vehicles and 1.4 million active frontline army personnel.

Russia is second, followed by China. The two countries have one aircraft carrier each.

Analysts reckon that possession of an aircraft carrier is the hallmark of a country’s military superiority.

The carriers allow armies to navigate the international waters, reaching all corners and serving as mobile naval and air force bases.

No African nation has an aircraft carrier.

Kenya’s military expenditure has nearly doubled in the last decade from Sh50 billion in 2007 to Sh96 billion last year.

Last December, Kenya received six Huey II helicopters from the US at a cost of $106 million (Sh10.9 billion).

The aircraft, mostly used for deployment of troops in battlefields, are designed to reinforce Kenya’s use of drones in waging intelligent warfare.

Nairobi also received a Sh1 billion drone dubbed ScanEagle from the US last year, enabling the army to conduct real-time surveillance on terrorists’ hideouts and stage pre-emptive attacks.

Ugandan, Kenyan and Ethiopian are fighting Somalia-based Al-Shabaab militants in the war-torn nation under UN-sponsored Amisom.

Ni kweli Tanzania watatumia Ndege moja ya Kijeshi lakini kwa Kenya, jinsi kilivyo nchi ndogo na personel wachache, hawatakuwa na haja ya kutumia ndege.

Nyie Helicopter moja tu ingewamaliza na hata watu wasitangaziwe kuwa kuna vita. Wamarekani watakuwa wanafanya mazoezi tu.

Kaka hawaangalii idadi ya majeshi na ukubwa wa nchi, ingekua hivyo basi Israel wangekua nyuma sana. Wanachoangalia ni uwezo wa nchi kijeshi, unaweza kuwa mdogo lakini unababaisha mibabe. Israel size yake mkoa wenu mmoja lakini huwa amekamata mapumbu ya nchi za Waarabu pamoja na ukubwa wao.

Nina uhakika Marekani anaweza kupiga Kenya tena kwa muda mfupi, lakini atahisi kuna kitu kimemkuna maana ndege tunazo 131, zote hizo zikimpania huyo rubani mmoja lazima tumdundishe, lakini kwa nyie hehehe rubani wa ndege hiyo ya Marekani ya kisasa ataona kama yupo kwenye video game vile, ni mwendo wa kubonyeza bonyeza.

Hii ni report ya 2014 inaonyesha Tz ime acquire new 30 tanks type 59g in 2011/13 ..utakuja ni upumbavu kufikiri Tz ilikua hainan tanks kabla ya hapo ...na hii report inaonyesha vtu tulivyo agiza tu in last decade ya 2004 to 2014

The Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) has taken delivery of a range of new hardware from China, including Type 63A amphibious tanks, A100 multiple rocket launchers and Type 07PA self-propelled mortars.

According to IHS Janes Defence Weekly, the new equipment, which was quietly acquired from China over the past few years, was unveiled at the 50th Tanzanian independence anniversary celebrations which were held at the Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam on April 25.

Photographs reveal that the TPDF now operates the Type 63A, an amphibious tank armed with a 105 mm rifled gun. Built out of welded steel armour, the Type 63A weighs 22 tonnes and carries a crew of four comprising the commander, the driver, the gunner and the loader. Maximum speed is 75 km/h on land and 28 km/h on water. Its maximum operational ranges are 400 km on land and 120 km on water.

The A100 multiple rocket system is a 300 mm rocket launcher with a range of 40 km and 120 km. The warhead can contain 500 High Explosive Fragmentation, Anti-Armour/Personnel sub-munitions. The system is mounted on a TAS5380 8x8 wheeled truck chassis-based launch vehicle. It can carry up to 10 launcher tubes mounted on the chassis and arranged in two blocks of tubes with four on top and six at the bottom. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 60km/h and top range of 650km. Tanzania apparently acquired the system in 2009.

According to Janes, Tanzania is believed to be the first operator of the Type 07PA 120 mm mortar, which can be used as a mortar or howitzer to deliver direct or indirect fire. It uses rifled rounds and has a maximum fire range of 9.5 km. The system, which is operated by a crew of four which includes the commander, driver, gunner and loader, carries 30 rounds of ammunition.

Tanzania also operates the FB-6A mobile short-range air defence system which uses a Humvee copy (Shenyang SFQ2040) each with eight FN-6 surface-to-air missiles with a range of 5.5 km. A radar is carried by a separate vehicle. Other weapons revealed to be in service with Tanzania include WZ 551 armoured personnel carriers fitted with 12.7 and 7.62 mm machineguns in an enclosed turret.

Tanzanian defence minister Shamsi Nahodha said the military acquisition programme is in line with the country's desire to secure its newly-found petroleum resources and enhance its capacity to defend its maritime borders. The TPDF has over the years strengthened its defence relations with the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) with the PLA running various training programmes to improve the operational capabilities of the naval, aerial and land forces.

The healthy nature of the diplomatic relationship between the two countries was emphasised by Chinese President Xi Jinping who visited Tanzania on his first visit to Africa. The Chinese premier signed 16 assorted trade and development deals including the construction of a deep-water port at the port of Bagamoyo, which military analysts say can be used a re-supply base as the resurgent Chinese Navy expands global operations.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Tanzania has taken delivery of a variety of Chinese equipment over the last decade including two Y-8 transport aircraft in 2003, four ZFB-05 armoured personnel carriers in 2006/7, 30 Type-59G tanks in 2011/13, 14 F-7MG fighters in 2009/12, six K-8 jet trainers in 2011/12 and ten WZ-551 APCS in 2011/12.

Tanzania also acquired five Casspirs from South Africa in 2009, four Bell 412s from Italy in 2005/6 and a Shorts 330 transport in 2006, according to SIPRI data.
