“Worryingly, arms continue to flow to unstable parts of Africa. During 2005-2009, Sudan received armoured vehicles and military aircraft from Russia, China and Belarus. Ukraine continued deliveries of Su-25 combat aircraft to Chad in 2009 and completed the delivery of 110 T-72M tanks to Kenya, although rumours continue to circulate alleging that the Government of Southern Sudan remains the intended end-user. Kenya is also in the process of receiving 15 F-5E combat aircraft from Jordan and 4 Z-9WA combat helicopters from China,” notes SIPRI.

Second Skytruck for Kenya

On 26 June 2021, former 309th AMARG resident C-145A 10-0321 (construction number AJE003-21) destined for the Kenyan Air Force (KAF) arrived at Antwerp (Belgium). After a night stop, the PZL M28 Skytruck departed with call sign DAGGR77 to Split (Croatia).

Kenya had requested the US for the supply of six C-145As from the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) programme, but due to the limited number of aircraft available, only three were authorised for supply to Kenya under the EDA process on 15 August 2016.

The aircraft were officially acquired following signature of the Kenya United States Liaison Office (KUSLO) agreement by the two governments on 4 April 2017. KAF pilots and loadmasters were trained on the type since September 2019 with US Air Force Special Operations Command’s 492nd Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field (FL).

The first Skytruck, serial 08-0310 (c/n AJE003-10) was also delivered via Antwerp. It arrived on 27 January 2021 and departed the next day to Valtursko Polje (Croatia). On 20 April 2021, the M28 was formally commissioned with serial 2001 by the air force at Moi Air Base, Eastleigh (Kenya).

Kenya to boost military capabilities with tactical vehicles and high-tech equipment


According to Business Insider Africa, the Kenyan government has embarked on an ambitious project to modernize its armed forces, committing a
significant investment in advanced military equipment. An annual budget of 7 billion Kenyan shillings (approximately $45 million) over five years has
been allocated for the purchase of tactical vehicles, drones, and other cutting-edge defense technologies. This program represents a total investment
of 37 billion shillings (about $236 million), significantly enhancing the country's military capabilities.
