But that being said, those kind of jets are useless in Somalia, there aren't many military installations or infrastructure to attack. Somalia waxaa ku fiicanee, an Apache Helicopter, that would be perfect and it would wreak havoc on enemies lightly armored vehicles.

LOL, by all intents and purposes, with the Apache the Americans have destroyed the difference between a jet and a helicopter. this beast almost anything a jet can.

We need helicopters but also jets for long-range attacks and to hit the enemy hard and fast without giving any clues

I would prefer if inshallah in the future somalis built their own weapons systems. It would take a couple of decades for sure, but in the end we would be self-sufficent unlike fat gulf arabs who just throw money around like fertilizer.

Roving,

Long term military air force you'd want a combination of Fighter Jets, Bombers, and helicopters, etc, but for now, what we need is some Apache's. A couple of Apache's would destroy the military capability of every player in Somalia, including AMISOM.


But if we wanna take jets I have the best fighter jet money can buy you. F-15 Eagle, this baby has never lost in a dog fight

That sounds great and all, but it would take a boat load of money, I mean 100 of billions plus top flight engineers to build jets like those. I don't see Somalia spending that type of resources on weapons industry with all of the other issues we have. I'd love it, but just don't see it as being possible.

The Arabs problem is they buy a lot of hardware which is great and all but have piss poor pilots. You need good pilots, commanders, generals, with exemplary discipline and expertise to accomplish great feats. Arabs don't have any of this, they just have a bunch of cool planes that they barely know how to use.

These Chinese Jets are cheaper and as effective and come with no strings attached

Arabs buy equipment just for their museums. They dont intend to use them and neither do they know how to. The UAE is smart in the sense that it buys hi-tech stuff and hires Pakistani pilots to fly them which are among the best in the world

I don't mean right now, obviously . In the near future, when we actually have an economy and a manufacturing industry.

I don't see why they don't just train their own people. At some point in the future, the south asians will take over these dumb gulf arabs.

Roving,

u trust chinese bootleg planes? :lol: An American fighter jet would knock that out of the air in no time.

It might be a cheap alternative, but it doesn't match up to American mechanics and fire power

Somalia doesn't need to reinvent the wheel. We need to buy the best of the world, create high class military institutions and train our military to be the best leanest, meanest and deadliest fighters.

Thats not true. Might have been true 10 or even 5 years ago, but not today. Give me any American fighter jet and there's a matching Chinese alternative with similar capabilities.

The Arabs just want to brag about their equipment. To them an F-16 and a Porsche are bought for the same reason: to impress

the only thing that will happen is the technico will be replaced with a cargo plane with a machine gun mounted on top :lol:

warlords will boast how many planes he has and we will see moriyaans in the sky.

Success lies in innovation, not in who has the most weapons. From Alexander to Napoleon to the current US hegemons, it has always been the most discliplined and innovative armies that succeed. I don't get it don't you guys want somalis too actually produce stuff? :?

Roving,

I still stand that a F-15 would knock any Chinese or any nations plane for that matter out the sky

This is my new baby, V-22 Osprey
