[zumaale]

if they can produce t 72 tanks why did they buy 200 t72 tanks from ukrain ?

They just started it recently to produce it its a new project they have been working on this , i will not be surprised if those important Tanks were used for this project to.

They probably purchased a license permitting them to produce them domestically. Maybe.

If & when Somalia gets it's act together...we can easily surpass Ethiopia....we did it before & can do it again insha'llah.
Those big cumbersome tanks/vehicles can be decimated by a small infantry group wielding anti tank missiles eg Hezbollah.

Ethiopia has a head start of close to 24 years , and Somaliland can never ever compete with Ethiopia again. That chapter is closed and Ethiopians won that battle. Ethiopia will make sure Somaliland will not get its acts together and stay as a useless shithole as it's now .

Fixed.

They could be for just actual use remember 200 tanks is nothing compared what Ethiopia needs , Ethiopia has one of the largest Military's in Africa , its not rocket science to produce Weapons all u need is the investment to set up the industry and on top of that u need capable engineers, and great management from the Ministry of defense to do the work but all that can be arranged i think they have been working it even much longer.And wanted to produce Weapons. Ethiopia had allot of T72 tanks way before the last shipment from Ukraine.

What are you talking about what does Somaliland got to do with this OD mentioned Somalia, he said when Somalia gets it act together every one knows Ethiopia is working hard Somalia remains a useless shit hole , when u have troops in Hiiraan troops in Bay and bakool and they want to be deployed to Kismayo to they want to encircle you but you dont know that. And control every aspect of Somalia. Xabashis are smart people if you ask me they know how to exploit your weakness.

Khalid when you say xabashis you mean tigray and amhara but im told they are not even united themselves

I disagree. ethiopian federalism is going to collapse in few years and that will cause huge change habesha will take several years to put their subjects under control, hopefully somalis will take advantage of that transition period. Eritrea Ethiopia relationship could be normalized and that is an other economy challenge for the somalis. things will change in both positive and negative ways.

Ethiopians are divided along ethnic lines but their national strength ove-powers their ethnic differences no matter who much tigres hate amhara or amhara hate tigre they will never allow Ethiopia to collapse. There is a sense of nationhood for Ethiopians

Waryaa qaldaan hadaad nolosha ka quusatay, ha isku dayin inaad na bahdisho anaga. Waxbo hanoo xayeeysiinin xabashida. Ethiopian troops are in Somalia, bc of the blessings of the IC and the arms embargo. Somalia will surpass useless Ethiopia in every aspect of life in one peaceful decade. We already have the best trained special forces in east Africa.

The hostility between the Eritrea and Ethiopia is good for Somaliland we must make sure Ethiopia uses our ports but we need to upgrade our ports. I doubt Ethiopian federation will collapse there is no resistance to the EPRDF really. Ethiopia monarchistic institution are very strong and aslong as we dont see mutiny in Ethiopia things will be alright.

[Xildiiid]

Ethiopia manufactures small arms like Sudan and they have been doing that since the 80's under Mengistu. He planned to create a defense industry after the 77-78 war because he knew the military aid from the Soviets would end one day unlike Afweyne who was praying to Jesus for military aid.

The only project I know of is a tactical drone project launched with the help of the Israelis.

There are countries with a superior technical know how that do not produce the T-72 and instead import it from Russia so I don't believe Ethiopia is producing these tanks.

Oke my Warlord friend in the mean time go and Bully the small dir in the central regions with your best special forces of Africa anigu waxba ma xayasyiinayo runta uun baan sheegeyaa. Blessing of the IC , goormay IC barako noqotay inay xabashi ku hoos geyso. In a decade with what with Turkish Donations. Ninkan wa waalaanyahay..

If we ever get out act together, Somalia's respective progress in every department would overshadow any strides made by that derelict and overpopulated famished country. As it stands, they practically own us

[TheGrumpyGeeljire]

I feel sorry for us Somalis.

meanwhile ethiopians

[theyuusuf143]

loool khaalid man stop making propaganda for that shithole ethiopia is a poor weak ass nation, its the western countries who are keeping them under control just to save some more aid money, because if ethiopia collupses it will only increase global poverty rate. ethiopia suffers chronic aid dependence. their nationalism is purely ethnic based. when thing get serious every one will run to to his region the tigray are the least ethoipiawis they are pure ethnic patriots who wave the ethio flag only when they are on top, somalis are similar they will keep dancing dhaanto as long as they are getting their baajeet. but the moment addis falls into the oromo amhara hands somalis will suddenly change they wont cross beyond babile.

[Xamud.]

This is good news for Ethiopia, but bad news for Somalia and Somalis.

Soon every Somali tribe will possess tanks, courtesy of the Habash.
