10 Nations in East Africa have united to form a regional military force.

[ZoeGod]

Depends on the purpose....

Admittedly the only modern equipment is probably the Su-27 combat aircraft in Ethiopia and the T-72 tanks that South Sudan is getting from Russia (not sure if they ever got the first 33 which were on a boat Somali pirates captured before independence). However, I think if internal stability is the first focus, it could work if coordinated. In time they need to buy new stuff from Russia/China.

Pretty much the main goal now is to maintain internal stability. And that is to defeat Islamist armed groups and other armed groups as well. Once internal stability is maintained then you can focus in strengthening the military.

You Do realize Egypt, Jordan,Saudi Arabia were funded by the US and Euro nations for decades which means they have modern technology

For example, you say Ethiopia is top 5 military, how?? they Air Force has around 30 Soviet era fighter planes

Saudi Arabia has 70+ modern F16s,Eurofighters

It’s technology over manpower breh, who would win? 100 nikkas with machine guns or 1000 nikkas with bow & arrow?

Again you bring up Saudi Arabia. They have all those fancy toys and yet can't defeat an insurgent group with Ak's and flip flops. The US has been in Afghanistan for 16 years and still can't defeat the Taliban. Iran has been sanctioned by the west since 1975 but they have developed their military to be a top notch assymetrical force. Conventional warfare isn't the only way to win a war nowadays.

Are you freaking serious? Saudi Arabia can't even beat a unstable and broken Yemen(with the aid of other nations mind you) and you freaking expect them to EASILY beat the combined might of SEVEN countries????? Ethiopia alone is in the top 5 militaries in Africa, Ethiopia ALONE would give Egypt trouble and you think they would be able to take on a bunch of countries?? Egypt would suffer huge casualties and would back down due to exhausting resources. Same goes for Jordan(who is even less formidable than Egypt) and Israel(who does not even have the manpower to invade an entire region). Stop speaking on shyt you know little about. You dont just come off as a cac/c00n but a moron.

Whew, you left that fool smokin', breh

People like you said there would be no black president in their life time.

To be fair, there hasn't been

Honestly don’t care about US or African affairs..I already got dual citizenship for panama

[Master Teacher]

What does this have to do with the topic? I did not ask about you or where you are from. Good for you, keep focusing on that then and further remove your focus from anything African.. If you dont' care then why even comment. I never understood why people say they don't care about something yet spend energy on what they dont care about. One thing I take out of this is you talking about your past explains your unsolicited opinion the topic. Again nobody asked or cared about your 'connection' that you wanted to share which has NOTHING to do with the topic. Only you think your thoughts and opinions are more valuable than they really are.

I'm wondering who they'll be buying most of their equipment from, tho. I hope they make deals with technology-transfer agreements so they can eventually start manufacturing their own weapons.

The russians are desperate for development partners in their SU-57 program now that India is making them sweat threatening to pull out the deal. They may be good for the taking on a good deal and also to balance things a bit so the USA doesnt get all the good stealth deals here on out.

Why yall hyping this up

Think countries with 70s Soviet military technology can be a legitimate military force breh

Call me a cac/c00n but yall know it’s true

You have to start somewhere, f@ggot. Whos to say they arent going to invest in more modern military equipment?
