Kenya is expected to take delivery of six MD Helicopters Inc (MDHI) MD 530F Cayuse Warrior it ordered in 2018 by the end of this year. The delivery will now be delivered later than the previously promised April-August window and are part of the $253 million (Sh25 billion) arms deal that Kenya signed with the US.
Kenya ordered the six helicopters to re-equip the army’s 50th Air Cavalry Battalion the copters will also be a welcome addition and reinforcement to Kenya’s contingent fight al Shabaab in Somalia.
According to MDHI’s contract notification for Kenya, the helicopters will be fitted with the FN Herstal Weapons Management System; the DillonAero Mission Configurable Armament System (MCAS); the DillonAero fixed-forward sighting system; 62 mm ballistic armor protection; FN Herstal 12.7 mm HMP 400 machine gun pods; and M260 seven-shot pods for 70 mm rockets. They will also feature an enhanced communication system that includes the Harris RF-7850A and the Rockwell Collins HF-9000D radios.
The delivery is in line Nairobi’s strategy to revamp its defense artillery as evidenced by the cumulatively increased Defense budget in the past year. It is in Kenya’s best interest to equip its forces with top of the line military equipment seeing as the country is located in a somewhat volatile region with the growing threat of radical Islamism.
