@guka mang'uru, If I owned Kenya, I would go for the F16 fighting falcon. Cheaper to acquire, maintain n operate-single engine (f15 uses two f16 engines), most popular platform as of today with over 4500 built.

F-15E Strike Eagle.
a 4th generational fighter that compares very well with the Sukhoi latest editions (Su-27/30). All weather, day and night fighter, with good history in Iraq & Afhanistan. Speed > Mach 2. Very capable multirole fighter.

But is not meant for Al shabo....not for current campaign which could have been quickly wrapped up by the GSU Recce Company.

The combat fighter can even refuel mid air;

Hope the billions to be spent will not be blown off in a crash like what this guy did (he safely ejected though).

What about helicopters?

Ours keep crashing due to 'technical failure'. Kila wakati! So frustrating

@intel, the Eagle is for a select few; and rather extravagant (a very costly fuel guzzler). Operated by USA, Israel, Saudi, Japan, S. Korea, Singapore. Masonko tupu. It is a protected brand therefore I dnt see much light here..
